Default Saw an STS-V today

Blacked out windows on a black vehicle. Wow. Thought it was a CTS-V at first, then I realized it was too big to be a CTS. Didn't know they were out yet. Very nice looking. First thing I would do would be to remove all the badges, to keep everyone guessing, but that's just me. All-in-all very impressive looking, and with that 6L80E that I wish I had.

I don't know where you got those specs, but they are incorrect. The STS-V has a 6-speed transmission and a 3.23 rear end.

My boss has had the XLR (i call it the caddy corvet) since they came out. He had a blue one for a wile then I look in the parking lot the other day and see he now has a maroon one and look a little closer to see it had a "supercharged" badge on the side of it. That thing must be bad ***. Im not sure of the specs on it but im sure it hauls.
