Negative. These were bought off a local CTS-V owner. no changes were made to the wheels. They are just as they were when bought new!

The cam - isn't too aggressive. I can try and get some video this weekend of the car idling and driving by. I don't know exactly how cams w/ stock manifolds and cats work with CA emissions.

I could contact the guys at A&A (Charlie). They've done a few cam cars that pass emissions in CA. The car did pass VA emissions with the headers and cam.

There a number of things, mainly, based on valve events, how much overlap is there? That's what makes the exhaust dirty, intake and exhaust valves open at the same time. Generally on a 346ci in Ca. the most cam is a 224/228, and that can be tricky.

I think I'm going to take it to a local tuner on the east coast (ECS) and have them tune it and maybe add a little meth for this heat we are getting.

I will talk to them about emissions and what not.

does the car have any problems with detonation? Is it user friendly for everyday driving? What kind of mileage do you get with it?

thanks

Well I think I have decided to sell the car, but I won't be able to go lower than $37,000. If anyone is interested at that price please PM me.


Please no lowball off the wall offers.

Also keep in mind the car was in a slight fender bender prior to me taking ownership. I can tell you that is drives and looks 110% perfect!

I'd rather have someone local purchase the car. At this time I cant work on the price nor will I have stock wheels for the car.

What you see is what you get.

Thank you,

I may or may not have a job in the next few weeks.




I may have to go back to being poor. I would love to have another C6 but as it stands I may be going back to work in the legislative world (specifically for Mitt Romney) which doesn't pay enough to have all the toys I do.
