And spending more than a used V2 once you factor in the cost of the body kit and supporting mods required to bring your CTS-V up to the level of performance you'd expect from something looking like that.
UPDATE:
Hello all,
Waiting on backordered parts for clients cars so we have had time to work on the "V". First paint job is finished and when I get back from "SEMA" we start on the engine(dry sump,oil,trans,diff coolers and engine work etc..., .Then off to do the roll bar. Finally second paint job and to reassemble. I will try and post some photos when I get back, not much to look at since the car is in pieces.
For all those members on the East coast hope you are all safe!!!!!!

I've learned to.
UPDATE;
We pull the motor tonight.(only 10,000 miles on it) The first paint job is done about a month ago and curing quite nicely.
So On to Dry sump, Diff cooler, Trans cooler, Oil cooler, Heads , cam, Rod bolts,timimg chain, Damper, Throttle body Intake, radiator, clutch, battery relocation, flywheel ,exhaust, 6point roll bar,seats, electronics,6 piston brake set up etc.... etc.... Then back for second paint job wet sand block, polish and reassemble
Except for plumbing and exhaust it is all straight forward stuff. I think, I think, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,it may be faint but there is a glimmer.
Work being performed by yooper motorsports.:histeric: Cooling is for oils, water, and brakes-wheel bearings. Driver gets plenty of cooling with no side windows at 150 plus.The dry sump oil pump is totally in the way of where the A/C compressor needs to go. :helpless: No way that'll work. What sort of half-assed shop is doing this work?!
Won't be as pretty as Project VANQUISH, but should make a good chase car for video's:hide:
Who will be on track first? zzilla or yooper??

I thought Mythbusters identified that fuel economy is better with the A/C on and the windows up at highway speeds. Wouldn't that indicate that you'd be faster with some sort of windows (as opposed to having nothing there) to prevent turbulent airflow along the sides of the car at 150+ mph?
Yes, unfortunately the track requires side windows to be down.

What about some kind of air deflectors to push the flow away from the windows? Are those allowed?
Yes, if your class rules allow, no limit on the aero.
UPDATE:
