    My Gen V at Thunderhill Raceway

    Way to go Todd ! Glad you used the Corsas and had as much fun as I did. Very nice driving there. Did you take a pic of the G meeter ? I'm curious to compare with mine as I got a peak of 1.48 left and 1.25 right, but dont think I pushed near the limits of the car with ESC full on.

    Where to get smooth intake tubes?

    Is there a performance advantage to running smooth tubes over the regular ones on a Gen4 or 5 ? Any idea of the HP improvement, if any ?

    Gen V ACR

    Lightweight carpeting on floor and trunk + radio delete could probably save some 40+ lbs ? Aluminium frame ?

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    Mine is showing 2.5 sec, only because I missed launch control and got lots of wheel spin. Stopped the run at about 60 ft when it started to go sideways, so it's definitly wheel speed and not real speed.

    *NEW CORSA Video Uploaded*

    Nice sound ! What happens to the moderate Drone that happens in the stock GTS between 2,000 and 2,400 rpm when cruising with windows closed ? Is it still present, or have you got rid of it completly ?

    24 hours with a SRT Red Launch Edition

    After street driving and Tracking my new Gen 5 for 3 weeks now, all I can say is Mr. Former345... yor review is spot on, and right to the point. I also had a Gen4 for 4 years, raw fun but scary at times, and have been driving a CTS-V as a DD for 2 years now, good example of a competent but a bit...

    First day at the track

    The 95% statistic applies to Non-Pro drivers like you and me who track with slicks, dont do the Hoosiers untill you're a Pro, Corsas are fine. Only thing different I would try next time is to go in Sport mode to see the difference in behavior. Our track insurance does not cover the cars or...

    First day at the track

    Hey Todd To answer a few questions, Yes I did like the Corsas and never felt them overworked or anything wrong. I would definitly use those for the track as that's where they shine. This was our Club's last track day, so I'm already anxious to go back next Spring. The CTS-V is a very easy car...

    Drivers door electronic handle quit working

    My Gen 4 did that a few times. I would restart the engine and the door would reset itself, something like a PC that needs a reboot.

    24 hours with a SRT Red Launch Edition

    WOW ! Great review Nick ! Exactly in line with my feelings, and other OWNERS about how good of a sportscar this beast really is. Two comments : -The seating height can be fixed in less than 2 minutes just by removing the two 1" spacers from under the seat track, and vision and comfort becomes a...

    The tire pressure system is, oddly, a great feature

    Yes, mine are set at 31 F, 30 R when cold. Yesterday at the track I would end each session at around 36 F 35 R and grip was really fine. Dont know yet what's best for Street or Track ?

    First day at the track

    Wait till you see the really good drivers starting to post their G meeters pics. I was taking it easy and felt I was far from reaching the car's limits

    First day at the track

    Yes, for me anyway, I felt much more in control, like you're 'one' with the car. Not being a Pro driver, I was always scared of pushing my 08, spun it on the track once, and now feel very confident in this one. The car made me feel like I'm a better driver, being able to concentrate more on...
