Default Caddy CTS-V

I am not sure if this is the right area for this thread...But I am wondering if any of you have seen the new Caddilac CTS-V? I recently looked at VISION, Caddilac's magazine; seems like an exciting car. It has the LS6 engine, and the brakes are huge! Does anyone have any information on the pricing of these cars? I am sure that it is way out of my price range, but here's to hoping

I read a review stating the price to be $49-51K

I'd definately buy one if I could afford it. LS6 power and seats 4 comfortably! Plus all the available heads, cams, intakes...etc will fit this car.

DragginTA - according to the Cadillac web site, starting at $49,995+ way out of my price range, nice car though.

I went to the New England Auto Show in Boston this weekend and saw the Caddy. Awesome Car! $55K for the one with the LS6 in it. I smell a conversion. By a wrecked V6 CTS and pop your own LS in their. Unless you got 55 large lying around.

DragginTA....there were several that were delivered to our lot early last week. I work at GM Design Center North at the Technical Center. They had 6-speed manual transmissions, 18 inch wheels and 13 inch brakes on all four corners. I kid you not. I can just imagine how fast that little car must boogie.

Well hell , I think I will take my house over a car, and it will have to be a dream car for a while. Maybe my local dealer will let me test drive one though. hehe
