Default CTS V-SERIES arrived at my work today :)

As I was driving up to work I noticed a CTS parked in the back with the V badge on it, before anything I dropped my car into park and ran out to inspect......


Its black, fully loaded.......and simply badass...


The shifter isn't really as bad as they claim.....its not a problem.....a tighter one would make it PERFECT though...

Clutch has a good feel to it.....

The LS6 badged STB looks nice, but the engine cover sits over the motor and the only thing keeping it from coming off is the STB, kind of suprised me....

The car is FAST for what it is, has a nice note to it, it wants to go all over the place with TCS on, taking it off is a whole different story, the 18's don't really stick too well....

The paint on this car is far better than any XLR we have gotten in, especially for being black, I couldn't find any orange peel anywhere....

For 51,000, its well worth it..........

I will be bringing the digital with me next time I'm here, but someone walked in today and put a down payment on it, so looks like my fun for driving is over........

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the front mesh grill and the front clip combo MAKE the car........the exhaust setup in the rear looks awesome too with the nice oval tips, the dash readout is nice and clear and it has a tire pressure moniter right in front of your face with the PSI of each tire.......

Still trying to calm down..........

Yea, I didn't think we were getting one in till the end of the month, next one up in march is a silver one or we might get it later this month........the thing my dealership did that I'm still crying over is they drilled the plate frame holder on to the front bumper........OUCH!

Who ever PDIed the car should be slapped in the face for defacing the front clip of the car.......

I loved the CTS when I first saw it (just cause it was RWD). The first thing I said was I hope they put an LS1 in that thing, and they went and put a beautiful LS6 in them, BLESS GM!!! I wonder if they will have to put LS2's in the future ones???

Brian where is your dealer at in EGV? Take some nice pics or I can drive out there and take some if you are busy... Try to get a few with nice backlighting.

Only a short trip away, one off 59 near Bisonette and another right at Dairyashford, imagine how nice a 382 would be in a nice luxury car...

Tony, DON'T go near it, I literally wanted to sell my car as soon as I got done driving it........... Just looking at it over and over again gives you the same feeling........


John, the dealership is in schaumburg, off of Higgins, RIGHT by woodfield mall........on MALL drive.......

That is such an awesome car. If I could afford it, I would get one in a heartbeat.
