Default A new LSX for me!

Ok, so I really like the TBSS, but I think I need a car for a daily. I ended up getting this last week. 06, 40k, Corsa and short shifter.



It made 340RWHP and 345RWTQ as it sits, probably no mods for awhile other than wheels, black out the grille (except the emblem) and some clear corners. I'm talking to Nine Ball about some wheels right now on another site. After TX2K11 and I sell the TBSS I'll probably look into getting a TVS1900 or a tuner Whipple kit.

I love this thing though, nice interior, 6 speed, NAV blah blah, perfect daily.

My dilemma, I love the TBSS, but after getting this I probably won't use it. The CTS-V is paid for, and I only owe 8k on the TBSS, so keep it, or ditch it? I don't really have a use for it, but I don't need to sell it either. Thoughts?

VERY NICE Cadillac Trust!

IMO, If it doesn't really hurt you to keep the TBSS, I would keep it. But if you just want out from under it, Then let it go and put a TVS on the Caddy.
Either way, very nice car and glad you got another LSx.

Good Luck with the car(s)

I'd have loved a V2, but I really wanted to stay lien free on this one, and I couldn't have done that on a gen II. Maybe if I waited and sold the TBSS I could have, but a $50k daily seems like a bad idea to me.

TBSS is listed, I guess I'll just see what happens.

My thoughts are that you suck! Lol.

You have a TBSS, CTS-V, and a Viper! 3 vehicles I would LOVE to have!

I say keep them all, or give me the TBSS since you don't want it. Lol.

That's really the only thing I'd use it for other than just switching it up. I'm trying to justify it, but I'm not sure if I can.

Yea, I wouldn't really put much of it into the V except for the maggie, but I don't think it needs it. It makes great power for a daily, I don't need another project so it's a fine line. A maggie would be awesome, but I don't a headache either. Confused.

I'd say a TBSS and a V is kinda pointless.

If I were in your situation with the kind of vehicles you have i'd buy a nice Silverado for the convince of having a truck you can actually tow/have for whatever you need to haul, parts, stuff for the house etc.
