Default New to the forum and the CTS-V platform

Hello. Glad to know there are other people into the same things as I am. I just purchased my first CTS-V. It's a 2006, 6 speed with 110k miles. Black ext with tan leather int. Sunroof. Has a swapped LS3 out of a 2011 Camaro SS that had 50k miles on it. Mid list so far. BTR stage 4 cam. Double valve springs. Titanium keepers. Hardened pushrods. LS7 lifters. LS7 clutch. Kooks long tubes. Corsa X pipe and Corsa exhaust. H&R lowering springs with mighty mouse spacer on rear. Tuned by SSLSX. Dyno sheet puts it right around 485hp. Sounds amazing. Love driving it. Turns heads everywhere I go. Hard to say about anything else that's 16 years old. Planning on front splitter with side skirts and a trunk spoiler very soon. So I guess I'll be in and out of this forum looking for advice and motivation for other mods and performance ideas. In the process of buffing and waxing right now. I'll post pics when done.
