I'll show up in my CTS-V if I have it fixed on time. Anyone know any mechanics who are knowledgeable of the CTS-V in MD preferably Montgomery County.

What do you need done and where in MoCo are you? I just sold my 06 last week.

IMO. Go slightly out of MoCo and go see Rick Kim. Really the best guy close to us IMO.

None at all. Even less if you put a LS1tech sticker on it.

I'm in Gaithersburg and either my kooks header cracked or I blew the manifold gasket. Need that leak fixed, plugs and mounts and bushings. Where's Rick Kim located and how can I get in contact with him?

My surprise is out. V is sold. my 13 1LE is purchased. Short the power and rawness the V had. THis is an upgrade in MANY ways for me. one being 9000 miles and a 6 year bumper to bumper. The other being the interior and suspension. Oh and the 285s at all 4 corners.

Badass. Congrats man. You plan on throwing the warranty out the window and doing some mods?
