OMG!!!! i want one of these....

[MikeW]

I'd wear a helmet regardless, lol.

[ChampCoupe]

ChampCoupe, you owe me a new set of boxers. I seem to have soiled the ones I'm wearing.


Though I don't want that lame V700.
I'll take the V800

i correct my statment, i want a v800 now. and Deev we are even, i soil my boxers looking at the v800.

At my track, a helmet is required to race at all, even if you're running 18s.

If you break 11, I think, and your car does not have certain things installed (roll cage, shatter shield, etc...) then I've been told that you will be escorted off the premises and forbidden to return with that vehicle until it meets their requirements! I've never seen it happen though, nor have I seen it in writing, so that could be pure fiction.



You're right though, Jon... I don't think I'd want it THAT crazy, or it would ruin what makes it special. If I just want a fast, noisy, uncomfortable car that runs the quarter mile really fast, I'd do it to a lightweight sportscar, like a Corvette. Not a hulking behemoth of a luxobarge!

Boise

We have quite a few people in boise who make the one run a year and get kicked.

Its funny because they all try to pick the event to get kicked at.

This year they did import vs domestic.

After they get kicked some of them toss on a smaller turbo and run autocross for the rest of the season.

you could read war and peace during those shifts..

sounded automatic to me

[Makaveli2k]

AM I the only one who thinks the two door CTS's are absolutely hideous?


Looks like a pile of barf that's been frozen and painted.

[Dani Filth]

i think they look amazing. so beefy looking. stupid pedestrian safety laws keep cars looking terrible but i think they made the best of it

[ChampCoupe]

i love the coupe but would buy the sedan. even thought the coupe has plenty of back seat space. i like the sedan a lil bit more.


but, this bitch right here. if i had the money would be mine.

[deevergote]

The coupe would be my choice. I do like the sedan, but the coupe appeals to me just a bit more. WAY more than the old 1st gen that I'll be getting... but I can afford to buy a $15,000 used car. $63,000 for the CTS-V coupe... yeah, I'd rather not.

The wagon is pretty badass too. I've never seen one of those in person. I've only seen one non-V wagon, even. Kinda makes me think of the 1st gen SRX though (which was based on the CTS.)

i went to the dealer today to just look and the cts-v wagon and i almost drooled on it... the guy i was talking to said if i was 20mins earlier he had a coupe that was in the showroom that was sold.

"Let's cram the LS9 into a Cadillac..."

[deevergote]

Is it the LS9, or a variant of it?

Either way, it's a big freakin motor!





I can't wait until I get my CTS-V. I might have to settle for an 04-05, though I really want the 06-07.

Who wants to come over to help stuff the engine in my hatchback, so I can give it to my friend? I need driveway space!

[MikeW]

It's based on the LS9.

And you sure that's a "when" and not an "if"..?

[deevergote]

it's a "when"... just not sure EXACTLY when!

Waiting for my 1099, and for my accountants to tell me what I owe for 2009 (yes, I'm a year behind on taxes...) Then I'll know where I stand financially. I have a bit saved up, but not $15k. Hopefully I'll be able to get what I want for $15k-ish, drop as much as possible, and finance the rest. Then pay it off as quickly as possible.
Then I'll start doing serious work on the CB7... and MAYBE looking into a supercharger for the CTS-V
