I concure...Try looking at the 2009 model with 556bhp, as that Caddy should blow your hair back for sure...0-60mph in 3.9 seconds...That Supercharged LS-A motor is a nice powerful engine.......

Starting price $60,000 though.... I'm looking at it my self but I am just not that thrilled about the body style and design.. Maybe with fatter rims and tires and some tint it might be doable.....

Warranties usually aren't transferable when re-sold... That's the one good thing about buying a powerful new car, beat on it then take it to the dealer to be fixed for free...

However, buying a new car usually isn't the smartest financial move as they start losing re-sale value immediately and fast...

I would not mind daily driving a 2007 S4 with the feather clutch 6 speed, since we were talking about DD manual car's. But heck, who am I kidding, I daily drive my 1989 Eldorado and I love it! It's no CTS, but I love my Cadillac. Check out my photo album.

I am 99% sure they are offering one in 09. I remember because I read the auto version has a top speed of 17x mph while the manual tops out at 191 mph.

It ain't your grandparents Caddy

I'm not a Ford guy at all but this 2007 Saleen Mustang is something to notice too for $50,000.

This 2007 Saleen is selling right now on Ebay for $49,000 and has 5000 miles on it...Owner claims it to lay down 550bhp and is faster then the GT500...

These Saleens are bad *** from what I can tell... Any thoughts on this Mustang? Can it hang with a Z06?

That may not be that good of a investment with Saleen going out of business.


Your Z may be fun to drive but like you stated about how good the caddys ineriors.Look at the F-Bodies interior. Its horrendous and with the new Camaro coming out when you see one on the road you may feel like you are driving a old car i know i will. I have had 12 4th gens and i do love them but keep searching in todays market im sure you can find a dealership and get into one with a payment you can afford

You can look at this two ways, if Saleen is done, maybe the cars will become limited collectors items and go up in value...Vintage Saleen how does that sound? You never know... Long shot though...
