7:54 That sums it up nicely, I'm looking for a V1 right now to upgrade from my trusty Honda Fit. I have yet to drive one, but for I'm looking for something less harsh than my Fit in terms of comfort, manual, and that makes good power. The V checks all these boxes, and maintaining it should be fairly straightforward since I'm already familiar with the LS engine.

I own a 2005 CTS-V and I agree with everything you just said if you want a car to modify don't buy one I put a bunch of money into mine and it still doesn't compare to a second generation. I'm going to try and sell it and lose a bunch of labor and parts on it and then buy a second gen

I'm gonna say no unless you get a great deal, or have money for repairs. I've owned both a V1 and V2 and it's not even close. The V1 is an electric gremlin. The rear end sucks, the bushings suck, the mounts suck, the cooling system is terrible. It's a fun weekend car, for a guy that works on his own stuff.
