My XLR/V(s):
'11 V Wagon & 2 C6 Vettes
Default

After 10 months and 8000 miles in the Vagon, I'm still happy with it. The Recaro's are very comfortable on long drives and the power and performance are wonderful. It's starting to get noticed by more folks around my home town as I get a thumbs up or a "nice car" comment now and then. Mostly, it's still a sleeper though.

Took it to the Big Bend Open Road Race back in April and finished 5th in the 110 class - missed our target time by 0.483 seconds. The Vagon took the turns at 110 like it was on rails. Highest 'g' reading was 0.71 which isn't near the limit but at 110 with granite and ditches on both sides, it's a pucker factor. It averaged 13.7 MPG at 110 - wasn't broken in yet.

Compared to our Vettes and my previous V1, the V2 wagon gets lousy gas mileage. That's probably my only complaint - 17 in town and not quite 21 on the highway. Considering what it is, I not going to complain much.

Great car.

Tuna, it's good to hear that you are enjoying your V. They are a great looking car. The Open Road Race sure sounds like fun.

Yeah. My wife and I have been doing the BBORR off and on since '99. Mostly in the Vettes then changing to the "Vs" last year and this year.
It's nice to have cooled seats when you're in full clothes and wearing helmet and gloves. We're got to work on our timing for next year so we can get a little closer.

Thumbs up

I went from an 08 CTS4 to a 10 CTS4 wagon. The ride and handling is much better in the wagon. And more room.
