Default Buying a CTS-V Tomorrow!! whoo hoo
Well I sold my FRC last week and found a perfect 2006 red cts-v with 16,000. CPO warranty and bone stock. I am paying 27k for it. It is red with beige interior. I have pretty much committed to buy the car sight unseen. I have seen pics of this car but have never driven a cts-v. Is there anything I should look out for other than rear end whine while test driving this car? Thanks
John

I have already owned an ls1 vette and an ls6 vette. Time to give the ls2 a try. You can't go wrong with the newer motor with a hair more cubes.

not in a cts-v it wont. Good luck even trying to muster that out of a 6 speed ls2 vette. Try and be a little more realistic...
I could see a ls2 V putting down 400 with those mods

not a bad looking car(not usually a fan of red) but could definetly lose the spoiler and get a lip spoiler instead. makes the car look like a regualr cts IMO
