Default New guy from PDX

After searching for the better part of a year, I finally found a clean V1 2005 CTS-V. Had to fly to Boise and drive to Idaho Falls, but it was well worth it.

With only 44k the smart thing to do would be to enjoy it for the next ten years. Realistically, I'm already planning to replace it with a V2 or C6 a year or two down the road. Because of this and the fact that it's getting harder to find clean, low mile V1's, I'll be doing the next owner a favor and keeping modifications conservative (headers, exhaust, tune, etc).

Looking forward to meeting my new LS friends

Bring it out to one of our StreetcarSyndicate events and see how she runs before the mods. We had a v1 out a year ago that ran damn good with an stock ls1 on street tires.
Heres a thread on the events

Anyone know of any dyno days coming up? I'd like to get a baseline.
