Default Cant pick a Daily Driver.

I have been having a real tough time deciding on a daily driver. I am building a FD LS1 swap and I am now looking for a new DD. I currently have a 04 Sierra RST and I love it. But I need a 4 door so I can fit some friends and really just need more room for my DD. I cant deicde between, CTS-V, 06 GSR Evo, TB SS. I would love a V but I am afraid of all the problems with rear diffs leaks and interior wear. A Evo would be great in winter and rain also beats the others in mileage. I owned a 300whp DSM before and it was aot of fun. But the Evo wont be as comfy as the others. Also a TB SS would be great there is something about a 13 second suv I like. But do they also have rear diff problems. And I owned a Envoy before that had tons of 4wd issues and some other wiring issues. That is why I traded it in for the RST. Basically I cant make up my mind so I figured I would see what you guys think. I also thought about a Silverado SS. But sense I already have a beeter truck for when it really snows and fun I think a suv or car makes sense. If I need a truck for work I can just use the beeter. Also mpg is important but I am still considering a TB SS. What do you guys think. If you have anyother reccs lets me know. I would love to find the perfecr dd. Thanks

I have heard that but alot of 05-06 V owners are still having the same problems. I would be affraid to have one out of warrenty. I guess if it came to that and TR Indy 9" ends up being to price I could jusr swap a strait 9" in. lol

Buy an XLR and make your friends walk!!!



Seriously though, a CTS-V would be badass.

I V would ge great and they are very pricey. If I do decide on a V I will wait until next summer so a 06 will be a little more affordable. I would love to get the LS2 and hopefully stronger rear diff. I have never really been a fan of the XLR northstar or there even steaper price tag. I would take the V over the XLR. I also am looking into a deal for a Whipple blower for $800 for my truck with everything it came with new and 10k miles on it. So if I can get that my truck would be alot more fun. Thanks

the CTS would be sweet, but the TBSS would be great too... the early TB's had wiring issues, but the bugs have been worked out as far as I know
