any difference - 2006 or 2007??? I am looking for a 2007 CTS-V , I figure this year has the least bugs and problems of any first gen V. I found a 2006 with the special FG2 suspension.. and was wondering if there are any differences with the 2006 - 2007. Is a 2007 any better, or the same stuff?
What year did the diff get upgraded and 'fixed'? I think I read someplace that it was 2006.

Diff was upgraded in 2006. I don't know if there are any differences from 06 to 07, I've been looking that up as well for the exact same reason as you.

fg2 is one of the very fews options on the V and was just better shocks.
06-07 are absolutely identical.....only difference between the 04-05/06-07 are the upgraded diff(which most 04-05 have had replaced under warranty), and radio buttons on the steering wheel for the 06-07....+ the LS2 onbviously.

Sweet, good to know. My decision between an 06 and 07 will be entirely based on price+mileage+condition+mods (if any) and I'll leave the year out. Obviously if everything else is the same I will get an 07 just to have the warranty for another year.

The seats really don't get "that" hot....I guess it's the suede, but I will say it's over 90 here now and I left it parked @ Walmart and hopped back in and it literally takes your breath.....but even if I passed out and fell in the parking lot I could still say I was layin next to the most badass lookin ride there ahahaaaaa

I live in west Texas as well... with a black on black car. Thank GOD for covered parking. At work I'm screwed though. I make do with maximum legal tint(30% sides, 5% back), keeping my windows and sunroof cracked, and a shade in the front window.

My question is this: If I did a 402 or 427 LS2 block with LS3/L92 heads and topped it with a Kenne Bell 3.6LC or a TVS2300, will it fit? Obviously the only variable it the supercharger height, but I never hear anything about gen 1 Vs with anything other than MP112s (LOTS) and 122s (1).
