What is this CFA thing people are talking about? I would definitely like to roll, however my Z is in bad shape, I got nailed by shopping cart one day and the next I got backed into the other. If I roll out I might have to take the family wagon, FX. She is a think of beauty. I can definitely see Tammy rolling in that car. That thing looks like one bad ****...

Not new they can't, and a new car was a requirement for this purchase. According to Caddy's web-site, the MSRP on a CTS-V, comparably equipped is $55K. Are they selling $10K below sticker?

It was just reaching the point that the new clutch, brakes and blower motor it was going to need were going to cost more to purchase/install than the car is worth.

They were having some issues moving them off a few lots ..

I've seen new ones go for 45K plus dont forget GM Exe. vehicles .. they do have some mile on them but go for around 39,000 and they are considered NEW when you purchase. Plus the V doesnt have any options...they are all standard


You got a great car - if I were going to get another sedan it would be an SRT8 Charger...


Now how about this weekend we go check out that SRT8 Jeep .... bring the Navigator

That's a heck of a mark down! And how in the world does GM sell any vehicle that's been titled and driven as new?

As for the Jeeps, they're just a bit too small for my tastes (compared to the Navi anyway). Perhaps we should go test drive the new Escalade...

The escalde is the rumored motor to be going into the new Corvette SS ...along with a roots type blower on a 6.2 liter motor and almost 40% Carbon Fiber body....less than 3000lb total!!!!!!!!!!!!

After I get a better tune, bump up the #'s, and add alchy - we'll see what she does.

I haven't talked to Dave and Juan - but I think this would be a great idea to kick off the warm season. Then again my voice isnt very powerful....

Ok-kinda misleading to post claimed 1/4 #'s in your sig if you havent been out to the track yourself

Im not trying to set up any races, putting up advertised track #'s is like some newb putting "356whp Z" in his sig cuz he added up the claimed #'s for his bolt-ons, pretty funny if you ask me.

OMFG... Someone actually posted WHP numbers based on claimed HP numbers from mods? That takes the cake.. Never heard of that before..

It's an auto, you just powerbrake and go....there ain't none of this 'hit your shifter with a baseball bat" crap that you do on the track... Anyone can do it!

(I'm kidding of course...I'm in one of those moods)

i was at the track when he ran that. i bought the car from a friend chill fellas ...

I have the dyno sheet somewhere at the house and if you REALLLY want to see the time slip I can call Jimmy and see if he has it.


The guy has 3 alchy fueled cars - I don't think he collects time slips on his daily driver lol

He replaced the caddy with an SRT8
