Time for a CTS-V?? I think so. :))) - Page 3

[QUOTE=Murph0408;2686656]meh. guess i stand alone here but they're not that attractive. plus the regular CTS is all over the road, probably more common than the camaro in my area. yawn.

they start at 65 grand. for that kinda money i'd rather get a Z28 camaro when/if that comes out, you'd probably have some money left over.

can't deny the performance, but i agree on looks it never does anything for me and certainly no wow factor from anyone i know whose seen it. the camaro looks 10x better.

Has anybody heard of the new generation of the CTS-V's coming out and any info on that? Im stuck between the red, white, grey, and black color. Figured i already have the blacked out camaro, gotta switch it up. What's ur guys' opinions on the CTS-V? any ownership experience?

Go with it, bought one for the wifey vs the bmw she wanted and it's truly 1 FAST MF'er !!!!

She got to at least chose the color, to match her Surburban

That is sweeeeeeeeet!!

I love the whole CTS V lineup. I wish i could have one of each!

hv92 · 01-01-2011, 11:17 PM

i agree. that is beautiful. Even though the camaro is my first 2 door, 4-seater, I definitely need a sedan. and for those who know about the next-gen V, is it true they are going to downgrade the engine to a v6, but with like twin turbos or supercharged? I definitely am waiting for the next gen .

Might influence you a bit.

hv92 · 01-01-2011, 11:49 PM

hahaha nice tryy.

Lol I definitely need a sedan and I just read up on the alpha platform. They will keep the v8s for the V series. whew.. could the V's be seeing over 600 horsepower??? definitely need it.

My current newer cars:

2010 Camaro SS
2010 Audi S5
2009 Corvette Z06
2009 CTS-V
2006 Viper coupe

I like the CTS-V the most out of all of them. It does everything well, without compromise. I'd say it is comparable in fun-factor to driving the Z06. Not as fast, but just as fun. Mine is an automatic, and I usually hate automatic trans cars, but not the one in the V. The car is perfect with the auto trans, as it stays in full boost all the way through the gears. The Caddy has humbled too many cars to mention, which is a huge LOL most of the time.

Here is mine, lowered on D3 springs and riding on HRE 20" monoblock wheels.

All Vs are awesome. Took this one to Florida last week. Very far past great.

Nine ball- nice list of cars you have there. The v would be #5 on my list of what you have.

That, and driving an automatic is like sleeping behind the wheel to me. There's just no thought to it, and I may as well be driving a car simulator. I'm just not a fan of automatics.

hv92 · 01-03-2011, 11:59 AM

can anybody explain to me the whole deal with the new alpha platform? this will be what he new cts-v will be based off of right? what are the main pros to this platform?
