Welcome aboard!

Having been along time f-body type w/ the Camaro Z28 and a couple of TransAm's in the past. I'm in the process of coming over to the Caddy side w/ the purchase of my new 09 CTSV.

Enjoy!

Thanks guys!
Have you ran your car at the 1/4 mile? Curious what kind of times you're running. What is the current record for cts v? I have searched but most of the threads are kind of outdated just wanted to see if times have been improved.

I didn't think parkers had a centri. I see it isn't skydivers. What about the Johnson gentlemans car?

Just guessed, as not too many Madman rears out there, most were installed at Thunder. I do recall a V in there getting the stroker, ProCharger and rear. Sounds like a high 10sec car under the right conditions and DRs.
Good luck with her!!!

yeah from my understanding the car was built at thunder but it was never completed. The car is now being completed and a new shortblock being built. im shooting to get deep into the 10's on high boost, meth, racegas, and some DRs.
