Default Proud New Owner of a 07 CTS-V
I come from a F-Body Family. Sold my camaros and wanted a Corvette But couldn't put wife and Kid in it. So went looking for a family Car. The Results:
2007 Magna Charged Full Exhaust CTS-V. 46k miles on her, so she still has that new car smell.

Thanks guys/gals.... Yup, the color is thunder gray and its rare to see one on the road the same color. Its currently stock height but I do have the H&R lowering spring that I'm debating on installing. Although those tires make it look like its lowered. My future mods are: Water/Meth injection then an aggressive tune and probably nitrous after.

Man that looks good. I think you just persuaded me to do the same to my thunder gray 07. Are the rear lights tented as well?

For those wondering how much it cost me. Well I financed 23k and put 2k down. Total for the car was 25k.
