Test Drove a CTS-V

[v6h.o.]

grins from ear to ear!!

400HP LS6 6spd. Brembo 4pistons on all 4 corners.. beefed up suspension.

that car flat out hauls!! (well not as much as a Z06 does, -driven one of those too)

but damn fun car. put it sideways sidestepping the clutch into 2nd gear on this one street near our dealership.... hehe. just about smoked the fucking curb....

ugly?!/1?!?!/!!?!!?!??!?! your drunk if u think its ugly. Thats the #1 car i would buy if i had the cash, no imports or z06's, take the ctsv to LPE and see what else they can do to it

Whether it's ugly or not I'd still buy it if I had the money. I'm starting to think I'm the only person I know anywhere that's not hung up on styling. I'll buy anything no matter how ugly it is as long as it performs right. The WRX is horribly butt ugly, but I'd still buy it if I was in the market for that sort of thing. If the Aztec performed like a CTS-V or BMW or something, I'd buy that too.

Am I the only one around who doesn't give a holy flying fuck about styling? Styling is not simply on the bottom of the list, it's not even on the list at all. It's all about performance, and that's it.

I'm all about performance, but I still love the look of the CTSs. Told the wife I was gonna buy her one in a couple years and she said she'd never drive it... because it was ugly and because it was a Cadillac. She's lucky I love her...

[VerbotenZ34]

You're so lucky. And I think the CTS-V (with its enlogated nose full of LS6 goodness) is sooooo secksy!

[geoffinbc]

Yea I love it too. XLR is better though

[pocket-rocket]

I don't like the rear end of the car, but I don't have to look at it. The ricer in the next lane I just smoked does though!

Ben said you got married. I just got married Friday. Congrats! After 8 years of calling her my girlfriend it sounds funny calling her my wife, and I keep catching myself calling her my girlfriend. Old habbits die hard.

I find the Scooby to be tolerable, and even attractive in a geeky way. I liked the older pre-bugeye Imprezas best. I'm not sure whether I like the bugeye or current models better than the other.

I just can't tolerate the styling of the CTS... they shoulda stuck with the line of styling they had with the Catera. THAT was a beautiful sedan.

[Zboy]

I dont get GMs styling, do the designers just hack up pieces of clay with Ginsu knives? The more sharp angles and edges, the more likely they build the damn things? and what hapend to naming a car instead of designating it? CTS-V is an abbreviation for an engine. Now Charger R/T is a name. 3000 GT VR-4 sounds like someone dropped a can of alphabet soup.

Collin, just watch axle hop on those launches. Some forum the guys were already in the dealership for replacing axles. Both C&D and Motor Trend mentioned axle hop on launch hinder accleration times. The thing over heats the motor oil on the roadcourse too.
