Victory Driven

[668LT4]

Ordered this end of last year ahead of its release. Look forward to reading, especially about the older V cars. Almost 400 pages, great photos and high quality printing.

Fantastic! Have a copy on the way myself.

Finally got mine from Amazon this past Saturday. Big, heavy book with tons of photos, lots of info. Can't wait to start reading it. Side note, the author owns a second gen CTS-V

I just ordered one as well.

To those who have it, does it discuss the precision package and any illustrations of the those custom 20 colors that were off the build site?

The book covers 20 years of V, so probably nothing on the 2025 precision package. I know it covers some of the limited version sticker cars like the Atlanta, Sebring, etc. And the 2023 120 cars. I don't have the book in front of me, but don't think it has the limited 20 cars for 2024.

It's at Barnes & Noble FYI.

No it doesn't...

It looks like it was written shortly after the CT4/5 were introduced, so 2023/2024ish.

Mine came today. Looks like high quality binding/printing. I skimmed a few sections and it seems like it will be an informative book. The pics brought back memories of my CTS-V1 (2004-2009) and CTS-V2 (2009-2023). And I miss the STS-V. I almost convinced my wife to let me get a used one as a "beater" back in 2013 to save miles on my V2.

 

[Finally-a-V]

Ahhh, yes, the STS V. Very rare, most dealers didn't even know about them. I passed (sadly) on several back in 2014-2016 when I had the chance. Now, I think it's too late. I'd still love a CT6 V, but IDK, is it too late for them too? It's getting hard to find CTS V's and CT6 V's that are lower mile, one owner and not wrecked.

 

[Exia]

Damn, I just looked and locally they are sold out. I'll have to do some digging.

 

[Roadhawk]

I.m enjoying the book. Just read through all the early CTS-V stuff through the wagon (much love there) and skipped ahead to the Blackwings. Just now put it down.

 

[pmsteinm]

The CT6-V looked interesting but so low volume and I'm sure that Blackwing engine is impossible to get parts for.

My V2 was single owner when I sold it...but at 105,000 miles. It was a great car and was very reliable.

My copy came in today. Can't wait to get into it.

Since the author lives here on Long Island, maybe I will run into him at a local car show and get it autographed. Should increase the value by a buck ! LOL !
