dude, that car is in a category of it's own.....

Slithering_Joe

A new generation model typically means that a model has changed extensively - exterior and/or interior changes. I would hardly say that the CTS-V has changed extensively from '05 to '06. Yeah, the engine changed but to the inexperienced eye, the '05 to '06 model years look identical. Compare an '07 CTS to an '08 CTS or an '07 CTS-V to an '09 CTS-V , it doesn't take much to see the differences.

You have a point! But you must also agree going from LS6 to LS2 is a big change too!!!

UnsafeAtAnySpd

Not really. .3 L displacement change with the same power output.

Slithering_Joe

Nah, I can't agree to that. A 0.3L difference is hardly a change when you are above the 5.0L mark, both have the same basic V8 architecture (pushrod) and especially when both have the same posted ad-hoc HP & Torque ratings.

A 1st-generation CTS, MY2003-MY2007). It had two engine variants for the V-series - LS6, LS2.
A 2nd-generation CTS starts at MY2008.

Label your poll to address those three releases.

I have an 04, i love the thing, but Im curious as to why people think that the ls6 is better than the ls2. ??

Slithering_Joe

LS6 v. LS2: Oh no, not that debate again.

because it's what we have.....mine if better than yours kinda thing

besides, the ls2 is a truck motor

2004 LS6 with the updated 06-07 Rear Diff!

skydiver

Yes it is, But due to the excelerent level of the zagerhaust system & the contoriumassist valve being changed on the
hyperextremistsystem it became well adapted to the cts-v from the truck in which it came

I'll 2nd that, I really like the radio controls on the steering wheel of my wife's cts.

Slithering_Joe

I like the Cruise Control on the steering wheel as on mine. It seems every GM vehicle has it on the stalk.

The ssr saw the LS2 first.....so not only is it a truck motor....it's a girly truck motor.....

I would vote 2g because of the updated diff and the extra cubes. Hypothetically, it has the potential to make more power because of this.

lol... Thats a f-cked up thing to say....
oh well, guess I'll just have to baby my girly motor when I get the LS2 V

Jon05CTSV

I'm with you on that. I looked for a 04-05 because I wanted the LS6, and it's really not that hard to find one that has either had an upgraded rear (or needs one). I would really like the steering wheel radio controls, though.
