Default Greetings from Indiana

Hello everyone! Found out about LS1tech from a friends son. I made the recent purchase of an 05 CTS-V with 3500 miles on the ticker. Stock other than the Michelin PS PS2's I purchased. I've wanted a V since their announcement in 2003, just couldn't justify the $$$. I've looked at several since 04, always talking myself out of them. This one seemed like the one, especially considering the mileage. Looking forward to chatting with you!

What he said. I have friends living in the Anderson area. Is the V your "all-year" vehicle, or do you park it when this white crap hits the ground?

Welcome and your at the right site for your new ride. I'm also from Anderson, on the northside. Those CTS-Vs are sweet, Exotic Performance Plus has built some awesome ones. I was up there to get my WS6 tuned and they had one on the dyno that was just wicked. I've done put my cars up for the winter so I'm in the middle of a 96 Impala SS project, but can't wait til spring to hit up Muncie's track again! Again Welcome!!

Thanks for the welcome fellas! Look forward to running across all of you cats sometime. As for the snow, about 6 inches which is melting pretty fast. The V is tucked away for the winter... covered up and with a battery tender on her. I'll put some TLC into waxing her over the winter and look forward to spring to get out. Safe holidays to all!

Well, most of you guys aren't too far from me. I live in Greenfield. I think that is roughly 45 minutes to an hour drive. Is that Exotic Performance Plus in Anderson a good place to get a car tuned? I was curious as to what would be a good place to get a tune that is close to where I live. Sorry for hijacking the thread and as always welcome!

Thats because I also have a GTP for a DD. My WS6 doesn't come out much at all only put 3K miles on it in the past four years. I bet you've seen my Typhoon or my old mini truck before. I always passed you on 67 or on rangeline on my way back from work. Did you go to Highland because I thought I seen that car leaving there a few times?


Anyhow EPP is in Columbia City just between Ft. Wayne and Warsaw, great place to have your car dyno tuned
