Default Cts-v

Not a kill but did play with a spankin' new CTS-V yesterday on the way home from the grocery store

What do they run? He paced me and we both hit it, he chirped 2nd pretty hard, impressive for a guy in a brand new car

From what i've read, low 12's high 11's stock.
I've been wanting a 06 model cts-v for a while with the ls2 but looking at a 09 in a year or two for my DD. If the prices come down enough that is.

dam bill do you just drive around at all hours of the day , you seem to get more races than someone at the strip.

bad *** cars for sure , my friends dad is obsessed with caddy's and has a nice collection , new 09 cts-v(auto), sts-v, xlr-v, and the new escalade.

we were in traffic so really couldn't get lined up but got to see that thing WOT which was a treat in itself. I was going to pass up my street and see if we couldn't line up at the next light but the wife insisted the eggs might not survive so I turned off. Just nice to get a little 2nd gear action from a new Caddy, damn Vettes hardly ever want to play

I don't cruise around looking but I know how to get someone's attention

I like the the 09's front appearance over the '06. I've been told the '10s are especially nice with the 6spd .... just not sure about the note.

Awesome! The CTS-V with the LSA motor is in my top 5 cars I would want to buy in my lifetime. Really wish you woulda had the wife take pictures or video, I'll teach her how to do it!! I know how technology is hard to learn when your past a certain age, and I need to knock off a few community hours so working with the elderly fits that bill, Bill!!

jfwy Nice run in you had!

wow, so from a slow roll he probably could/would stomp me! I love a good race, maybe I'll see him again. By the way, it sounded awesome, not what you'd expect from a Cadillac!
