Honestly, I love my vette but,...now having something ELSE to drive,..makes me enjoy my two seat wonder all the more(even though the bastard ***** is underconsrtuction). Nothing like sitting on a moving sofa, lol.
The new CTs's....I gotta say, are beautiful cars,...if I can say that. I have a standing love for the "old" V's but..this new one, even the 3.6 liter direct injection, is wonderfully designed. I think the new look is sleeker,..lower appearing, and also, come with a proper stance out of the factory. And, that just the V6 version. In order (in my opinion) to make an OLD V look good, you gotta put some wild wheels on it, to give it a proper stance(the same can be said for my corvette) but,.... this new one,...looks great.
I do see several at our dealership with all kinds of wheels on them, which look great but,...I would like to see a proper 3 piece on one(haven't seen one yet).
My general manager went to a recent hummer/cadillac, where he was able to sit in the NEW V's....with the RECARO interiors,.....and he was star struck(this guy owns a C5R blocked fully built trans am with alot of upgrades)anways...he can't wait till they arrive,.... and he is ordering all of our V's with the interior upgrades.
A couple of things,...are however, hard to work on. We had a 3.6 liter, not to long ago,...we had to drop the fuel tank. What a pain in the *** that was,.... Now, the old V was kinda a pain as well, especially with the cars that had KARS cradle kits,...but,....the new ones, atleast THAT aspect, is harder to deal with. Like anything though,...it's a learning curve. They seem to be great cars,...that look sweet,...and drive like champs.
Truly lookng forward to the new arrival of our FIRST V. Can't wait.

,,, and stop being evasive, if you 'had' to get a sedan, the V1 would be your choice, of course it would have a C5R block and twins.

Funny you say that, My V was my road race car.....So I know more than they average about the V in the turns...my jeep on a SHORT track would murder a V in a turn.....crazy but true.....only because I have major track mods on a AWD platform.....Driver from here on after that.....
