Shop take

Pole Position on the CZ75-Auto is a mood piece from the early workshop era: full-body red and gray racing stripes that read “speed” more than “operator loadout.” Mythical (covert) rarity, Chroma 2 Collection, main drop Chroma 2 Case (15 Apr 2015). Wear runs 0.00–0.70—Factory New through Field-Tested show up often; even high wear usually keeps strong red/gray blocks.

Worth buying if you want a loud secondary that still fits a Chroma 2 set, or you like Coridium’s line work on this silhouette. Skip or go budget if you need a clean “investment” skin—supply and age mean prices move with nostalgia and case odds, not just float.

What to inspect

• Stripe layout on barrel, slide, and grip: centered blocks beat stripes cut off at the edges.
• Wear creep: as float rises, watch for blurred edges and gray wash eating the red—FT can look great or tired depending on pattern placement.
• Rotate the model: the hand-painted “panel” rhythm shows best from side angles; one screenshot rarely tells the story.

On C5GAME or Steam Community Market, compare several listings at the same wear tier; don’t pay FN money for a FT that only looks good in the thumbnail.

Expert mutterings

Coridium’s cu_cz75_precision work landed with the Chromatic Scale drop—same day as Chroma 2 Case, same vintage as a lot of “remember when we unboxed these?” threads. Among CZ75-Auto coverts it’s not the most common filler skin, so when you’re filling a Chroma 2 row in the loadout, Pole Position is often the slot people actually notice.

Custom hand-painted tag fits: this isn’t micro-camo, it’s stripe graphics following grip and slide contours. Commander Felix Riley’s line about one shot at the opportunity fits the racing vibe more than the meta—appropriate for a skin that’s about flair on pistol rounds.

Budget tip: a well-patterned Field-Tested often beats a weak Factory New for stripe clarity and resale story (“clean stripes, honest wear”). If you’re listing later, say exactly where wear sits (slide tip, grip front)—buyers of racing skins care about line integrity.
