Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Do we have any former CTS-V owners here?

Oh nice, you both had the car I'm looking at. If I went with the V, it would be my DD. I'd be buying a second set of wheels for Blizzaks for winter commuting. Is this a bad idea? Also, how is the weight distribution on the gen 2?

With the SS, I haven't decided on the extent of my modding. The SS is currently planned as my weekend car and will only be on the road for 6 months of the year when the weather is nice. I'd keep my Charger for DD in winter. For both cars, I'm definitely going to add a tune, long-tubes, and potentially a cam and Magnuson (SS).

The performance numbers for both cars seem similar, but I wasn't sure how the torque distribution differs or which car provides me with the best starting point for mods? Also, I don't know much about the rear-end of the V and how well it puts the power down to the road once you start modding. For either car I wouldn't be drag racing (maybe a track day here and there since I'm close to Limerock), but would definitely do some light modding and add a tune.
