Nice Don.

Hey so now that you've had the car for a while, tell me...
How do you like it? How's it compare to the 4th gens you've owned? Can it be as purpose built as the 4th gens for similar cash? Just curious.

You can build it the same as the old ones for the same $$. Right now it makes 375hp/385tq with headers,intake. In 2 days it will be making more with a cam.

Biggest downfall is the weight.It weighed 4015lbs last time I raced.

As for the car, no cars really do it for me nowadays. I prefer the Avalanche on daily driving.

I hear yeah, well when you find the car that does it for you let me know, lol.
I've been seeing 5th gens everywhere now too, I haven't even driven one yet, but my wife already wants one and she loves that green too. I don't think I could give up the TA, infact I'd like to go farther with it a bit later. but I wouldn't mind getting another fun (M6) street car once we get some cars paid off in a couple yrs.

I think a new CTS-V would make me happy thought... (dreaming)
Daily driving trucks are the best, except for the mileage.
