^^Viper insurance would kill me. Im not 25 yet lol.
So regular C5. Ive heard there is a difference between the 99-02 vs. 03-04 vette's. Correct me if Im wrong. And all C5's im assuming have LS1's and not LT1's correct?
And is gearing the same in all vette's?

Caddy CTS-V, pick on up for 27-30'ish sitting at 400'ish HP.

Mod it up a little heads and a custom cam/program, virtual ghetto stomper with heated seats and ample room for four "big passengers". Plenty of power to scare most anything buring rice and alot of others that arent. Plus you can roll with the car loaded with friends in the front and dead bodies in the trunk.

P.S.

Sidebar: If your 25 and really ready to spend 40k for something used why the "insurance" question.

How about buy a V6 camaro for VIN number purposes, drop a Lingenfelter "you choose the combo 408 twin turbo etc" have less than 40k in it and set land speed records.

NO!, have u even read this thread, a CTS V may have an LS 2 but its not going to do dick against the other cars mentioned, hes not looking for a semi quick car that he can car pool his friends around in, hes looking for something that will destroy all on the highway, a CTS V is a worse idea then the GTO was.

this thread is bullshit.

get an '01-'02 automatic f-body, a 4000 stall and throw a procharger on it and 3.42's. you'll pull and pull like no tomorrow at nearly ANY speed and beat 49 out of 50 cars on the road, maybe more.

BlueSix

You, child, are an idiot. You don't want a stalled car for high speed runs.

ChocoTaco369

**** yea you do. just get one with a LOW STR. the lower the STR the better. i'm sure they can make you a high stall with a near-stick STR, making it just as efficient up top as stock with higher shift extensions.

actually hes right cause i know a guy that raced another friend on the highway from like a 60 roll one was a high stalled A4 not sure how high making around the high 300's and the other was a M6 that was making like 400 to the wheels and when they started going the A4 jumped out a car length and were staying like that all the way down the highway then the M6 had to spray to catch him and obviously blew by him. so it is possible.

BlueSix

Ok...with a low str you'd be right. You'd need a converter specifically designed with top end racing in mind. With an A4 car youd need some tall gears though since OD simply won't hold the power needed to sustain a high speed run.

AUTO= NO, why the **** would you put a 3.42 in a a4 anyway he wants a top speed car and you just knocked down his top speed prolly to 170 or less...and if i personally was building a top speed car my goal wouldnt be 170 when i was spending 42,000.00$.... you wouldnt need to change the gearing if you just stuck with the stock gearing on a m6....just one more thing to have to **** with and spend money on.....why would you go to all the work of getting a stalll with a low str specifically made for top end speed....he specifically stated that he wants the ability to pull in any gear at any speed....3.42's are plenty enough to get a ****** mad jump off the line with a good mickey dr....and if your worried about the 10bolt of the line for the few times he might take it to the track then he can always have it reinforced....there are a couple of people online here on ls1tech that have built 10bolts that are sub11's with 1.5XX or better 60'......if you plan on going top end at all go with the m6 an auto just wouldnt make sense....6th gear on the stock o/d on a m6 is good for at least 190+....i have done 159 in 5th and sixth feels like it never ends i have a ws6 m6 and its the stock gearing at 3.42......once again this thread is

ChocoTaco369

get an M6 w/3.23's and a supercharger then. either way, i'd rather take a stalled auto. how many people race from 120mph anyway? you'll be fine with an A4.

moderator's, you can delete this thread. I got the suggestions that helped me decide my choice. Posts are getting out of hand, people aren't realizing this is just the internet, and no matter who is right...well, that doesn't have to do with the original topic question anyway!

What he said, or do the same to a Vette.

CTSV is an LS6, i dunno about the new ones if they have an LS2 but all the current ones have LS6's, either way the CTSV shouldnt be a choice.

agreed i personally thought aerodynamics were common sense why are these people still suggesting boats

Uh, you dont have to mod the internal of a supra engine to run 10's.

ChocoTaco369

you don't have to mod the internals of an LS1 to run 10's either. full bolt-ons and blower it or turbo it. say bye-bye to the supra.

no, its definatly a LS2. and yes it shouldnt be an option for a highway queen.

Yea I knew the 04-05 CTSV's had the LS6 and I just checked the caddy website and your right the 2006's are LS2's. They should have tossed an LS7 in there though, that would have been pimp.

$42,000 and you can buy my car. It pulls on the highway pretty good, and that is about the only place you will get traction lol. A cashiers check will be okay.
