Default New LS Owner

I wanted to introduce myself:

I just bought a 2005 CTS-V right before Thanksgiving. She's all stock except for UMI motor mounts, a short throw shifter and white LED interior lighting. She is very clean and well kept and un-abused, so I'm looking forward to modding her into the ultimate daily driver. I love the power and torque of these LS6 motors. Hearing tires chirp in 3rd gear puts the biggest grin on my face - I'm sure I look retarded when it happens. Anyway, this forum has a wealth of information and I appreciate everyone's contributions.

Thanks! I'll try not to spend ALL of my money since I have a 2 year old who needs toy cars and trucks to play with. Also that's really cool that you do bodybuilding. I workout a lot but I don't have enough time to get to competition level. It's a lot of damn work - I can appreciate that. Congrats on your accomplishments there.
