I got to sit in one at the Omaha car show yesterday, really nice if you have that kind of money, I don't. Off topic, WTF did Ford do to the F150? OMG, it looks like someone glued a toaster to the front end. Wow, I use to really like that truck, what a shame.

^^ LOL at the ford truck. But i do all the time.

Yea, i seen the new CTS V in a neighboring city last summer with some suits driving around in it. Unfortunatly it was going the opposite way i was, and i couldn't get turned around.
Apparently some GM guys took a roadtrip from the Milford Proving grounds with it and came up to Saskatoon. It looks SO awesome in person!! I would definately get one in a heartbeat.

Umm... I like that Magnaflow a lot more than the Corsa (I've just never really liked their sound - no offense )but LOVED than cammed clips, LOL!

Now to LuminaSS - That is one beautiful car, IMVHO! If I had the money, I'd get one of those too to put in my garage next to my Camaro. I can't believe Cadillac has come up so quick so much. Unfortunately, it's looking like it could be the end already for these cars. GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT!!!

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

The CTS-V is an amazing machine. To me, its everything a luxury sport sedan should be.

I would be willing to pay an even 25K for the Z but that is pushing it. So many people were asking about it and spreading rumors about it in Houston it was nuts. One guy even swore it was going to have the LSX motor in it with a blower on top pushing 700 horses.

I drove one of those bad boys last Saturday. LS9 /LSA who cars it only falls short of the ZR1 hp by a cam change!!! I took it for a cruise an dthat sucker is fast! It drives super well and handles like you woudl not believe!!! The trans shifts very well on its own under full throttle!

That car is probably one of the few worth it's price. My dealer offered me one stickered at 68k for 63,500! I want it very bad but can afford the extra 30k right now or I would be driving it. Scary part is I qualified for the loan! :0

Why pay 130 for the ZR1 when you can have the CTS-V for half price? It will hold its value over the years I believe.
