Default Back in the Game

Back in 2011 I had purchased an Infared 2007 CTS-V. Later in 2012 I had to sell it due to a new baby and life etc.

Well, 5 years later I've gone and done it again.

2007 w/ 34k miles. Flew up to Buffalo and drove it back. Guys who were selling it were stellar. It was probably the lowest mile, lowest cost V anyone could find.

It's Black w/ black interior. It's nearly mint in every aspect. Previous mods were H&W springs and I believe there's a Diablosport tune (gag). Also I'm pretty sure someone has deleted the cats.

It has the typical balancer wobble, so I ordered an ATI replacement and ARP bolt already. Just picked up some NGK TR6's and I'm going to order a PUO Hurst shifter later today.

Future mods are Kooks, Corsa black, and CS bushings. Possibly LS7 clutch in the far future. And waaay further out would be LS3 heads and intake and a cam.

Here's a couple pics:

congrats on the new ride. I saw a couple in that area on autotrader not long ago when I was looking for mine. Maybe that's it.

Congrats.

I'm in Poquoson so you're just right down the road. I'm going to be doing a clutch swap in mine when all my parts come in. I'm always down to meet people so you're welcome to join if you want. I'll start this weekend and depending what I have available parts wise it might finish up next weekend.

Ok awesome. I have an abundance of tools as well and don't mind lending a job. I think I'm headed up on the eastern shore saturday, but I could swing by sunday for sure and even lend a hand.
