Rumor has it the new CTS-V will be 550hp, but I haven't heard whether it'll be all motor.

Dont superchargers work the same way as oil pumps? It is not "squeezed" between the rotors/gears.

Buy the condo, it's value will go UP. I would not buy from the 1st year, as there will certailnly be bugs. You will spank these at the track and then go home to your condo.

The new Z is certainly a georgous car, its just too bad I can't afford it and even if I could I really doubt I could convince my new wife to let me have it.

I'll bet if you trade in your old Z06 on a new ZR1, and your new wife on a newer wife or at least a more sympathetic wife, you could swing it.

i love the idea of trading in the Z06 and gettting a ZR1, but if you get rid of the wife all together then you dont have to worry about her point of view

Default Sick Vette

Man that vette is sick. Bet the price tag is going to be hefty as well. Gotta pay to play I guess.
