Totally loving this. Nice ride for the price point.
ReplyDeleteHa! Just realized it was an auction with a reserve... so it might not be a great deal down the line, LOL
DeleteFantastic natural induction first year collector model
ReplyDeletePlan on a differential service / replacement ..
ReplyDeleteYes, my understanding was that the differential in these was made from green Pla-Doh.
DeleteThis is just too cool.
ReplyDeleteI like the frog mention, because you know, axle hop.

ReplyDeleteHmmmn Hurst shifter brings to mind slamming through the gears after a smoky wheel hoppin' burnout out of the Tasty Freeze. Followed by several thousand dollars in repairs to the fragile differential. I think there are kits to strengthen the diffs and the later first gen ones might have stronger units so its just something to watch for when buying a first gen CTS-V. Sadly they are hard to find for sale around Vancouver Canada either 3/4 destroyed or priced like they are made of platinum.
