    Victory Driven

    I had D3's on my C4 Corvette and loved them. So, after 2-years of hating the SuperCar tires the D3 was what I chose. Turned out to be a very good choice. My V2 has Michelin tires and they are very good also. Only issue I have with the V-Wagon is the tires are not run-flats and it didn't come...

    Victory Driven

    In chapter 1, on page 55, the author noted one of the 'shortcomings' of the CTS-V1 - axle tramp or wheel hop. I noted that on my '04 V. A hard launch would generate a serious amount of wheel hop. There were a few aftermarket items created to cure that with one being different half-shafts left...

    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    I've had a '21 Stingray and was very pleased with it. My wife decided that a Hysteria Purple C8 was the way to go, so we now have an '25 Eray in the garage. It's not past the 500-mile mark yet, so I can't really say how much performance difference is, feels like a lot! Maybe next week. We...

    Birthday Car!

    My V-Wagon is 14-years old today. I special ordered it in 2010 and took delivery Pearl Harbor Day later that year. Still a joy to drive! A Cadillac wagon with Recaro seats, no sunroof and a manual trans!

    Showing off a little

    Still showing off. Saturday, Oct 5th, the V-Wagon was at Putnam City's First Baptist Church car show. The only V there and almost 14-years old.

    Showing off a little

    I took the V Wagon to a Coffee and Cars show last Saturday. Parked near a CT4 V. A lot of people stopped by to talk to me about the Wagon.

    CT4-V Cross shop C8 Corvette?

    I like a manual trans also but I'll take the C8 with its 8-sp auto. The C8 is a great cross-country car - comfortable, great mileage. The C8 has a lot of nannies but then so does the BWs. I don't have a BW and probably never will, but I do have a CTS V Wagon with a manual that I may never get...

    Road Trip in the V-Wagon

    .Just finished a 1000 mile road trip in our 2011 V Wagon. 500 out and 500 back with a day in between with family. I was rocking and rolling with the speed limits in OK and TX and cruising at 77 to 84 for the drive down. Averaged 17.5-18.5 MPG. That was a little lower than I expected...

    What did you all drive back in the day?

    The second car I bought with my own money - '69 RoadRunner, 426 Hemi, automatic. I haven't owned that many cars since I tend to keep them for a while. I had the RR above for 12 years. Below are some of the others I've owned.

    Do you actually use the HUD?

    My first HUD was in 1975 when I started flying the A-7D fighter jet for the Air Force. Everything was on that HUD and I rarely looked at my instruments. Fast forward 23 years and I bought a new C5 which had a HUD. Both Corvettes I have have HUDs and I use them all the time. Too bad my V2...

    Biggest fill up in the blackwing?

    I gassed the V-Wagon a couple of days ago and paid $4.009 here in Yukon, OK.

    650 mile road trip - '22 CT5-V Blackwing six-speed

    Getting 21 MPG is very good for a 5BW! My V2 Wagon is lucky to get 20.5 and at normal freeway speeds.

    For Sale True Unicorn on BAT (not mine!)

    V Wagons have been selling for very good prices on BAT for several months now. I'm still going to keep mine as I can't replace it and it's too much fun to drive.

    Personalized license plate

    My V's personal plate was easy. SPD WGN I thought about just using REO but only 'old' people would see the connection. Here's the plate and the V:

    Trade for this?

    I'm a Corvette man, but I also like my V. My V Wagon is the ultimate in stealth - First, it's a wagon, second, it's red, third, it doesn't look like a 'race car.' Stick shift, no sunroof and Recaro seats. It's a joy to drive - if you overlook the gas mileage! Then I didn't buy it for the gas...

    Our new V

    Welcome to the V-Net.
  20. Tuna

    reasons I think (unfortunately) our Blackwing-5's won't be the 'collector cars' with huge resale over time some think.....

    My V Wagon is a 2011, manual, Recaro, no sunroof car. It's got 54k miles now. I still drive it once a week whether it needs it or not. ;)
