Early build 2005 here.

Just broke 13,000 miles at the track this weekend. Yes, thirteen thousand.

 

2004 V.....just rolled over 27,000 miles yesterday.

 

14500km on mine

 

143,000 KM. Adding 200 km daily on the Dubai to Abu Dhabi commute.

You have a v1 in uae?

Who did your tuning Mario near MOE?

 

What tuning? I had it blessedly removed at the dealer. It was previously tuned at Ayalasy in mussafah. Its now on a stock programming and runs WAY better.

I bought it in AUH, lost the rediclious exhaust, removed all sorts of aftermarket gidgets and had all the recalls done at Liberty AUH. I love those guys, and they run a class act.

Just replaced the suspension with a KW Var3 which I am loving. I need to get it corner balanced, but as of yet cannot find a competent place to have this done.

I have a few electrical gremlins im sorting out. If you are in DXB, which from your pics I think you are, and need a Tech 2, your welcome to borrow mine.

PM sent with my contact info.

Lots of pics over on CF if you want to see what all has been done.

Im also shopping for a clutch replacment. Ls9 or Ls7, dont care which, however I want to avoid notching the bell housing as there is WAY too much, to quote the signs here "Beware road surprises" for me to comfortably add another place for FOD to damage my DD.

Cant mistake my car with the big chrome skull on the back

Ls7 is easier and less of a hassle.

I have a slightly used one if you are interested, just need to buy a slave

 

Pm the price. Might be able to work something out price depending.

Just hit 175,000 Miles. Still stout but a tad tired. Researching 408, 427 or 454 when she dies.

 

415 or 427

Anythin bigger will suck you dry

 

About 300 miles away from 60k on my 05 V

 

The bellhousing has a small notch for the slave bleeder and pressure hose to stick through. The corvette slave cylinder that you'd be swapping in for the "LS7" clutch has these lines about an inch out of place, but can either be slightly bent OR notch the bellhousing about an inch. I notched mine, but given your concern you could probably bend your line slightly and use some RTV or window weld to create a seal if you're worried about debris. You could also try a large grommet and trim it to rectangular shape.

 

 

My 'unreliable' 06 CTS-V has managed over 154k... With probably over 100 passes on it at the drag strip, more on the street, and heavy usage in the 6 years of ownership.

 

Just bought an 04 V with 96k on it, just changed out the headers and exhaust with Stainless Works, CS CA Bushings, Moog ball joints and adjusted the already installed D2 Coilovers to my liking, although, I may go with bigger springs

 

Apparently I've never posted in this thread...

Coming up on 135k

 

Bought my wrecked 07 with 108k in October, just hit 128k.

 

103k here.

 

138 thousand km's on my 06 V, and is still running good.

 

my 06'. got in it to go to work this a.m. and BAM 64k on the money.
