Default Hello from Northern VA
Specifically, Chantilly/Dulles airport area. Just a quick shout out to everyone in the area. I just created a photo album of my 79 Trans Am and 05 CTS-V. You have probably seem me roaming the streets in these. I look forward to chatting with everyone.

Welcome to the board. I have tuned a few dozen CTS-V's from the NoVA area; seems like as many of them as F-bodies.

How do you like your 05CTS-V? I am trolling online until I can manage to sell my LGT and go pick up a 07(LS2 and I want the 5 year 100k warranty) CTS-V.

Let's setup a time to bring it down... we can throw it on the dyno and see what it makes. We can get it tuned too. Just let me know!

Thought your user name looked familiar. I've seen you on TAC and Hitman's site.

We'll have to try to set up some type of meet and greet in the Spring.
