Default New guy with an 04 V

Pleased to meet all. I just picked up an 04 cts v and have been a fan of the car for a long time. I look forward to building a refined streetable 12 sec ride. Thanks for the available tech and I hope I can add to it in the future. I used to race hotsaws, hence the name sawracer. I live in Orange CA (SoCal) and play with traditional hot rods also. I own a 30 ford coupe and it is built to be pre war specific. I respect the performance of some imports but can't respect taking pride in owning one. American muscle forever!

Default Hotsaw?

This is a hotsaw. The saw is fast, but I am no contender, Pretty tough to beat real lumberjacks when all I have to practice cutting in the OC is date palms. But competition is fun. LOL.

An educated guess? 15 hp on 91 octane. 20 on methanol.

That is awesome. Welcome. I like the car too, I've always loved the CTS-V's since I first saw one.
