Nice ride SS! Really jealous of it. One of my dream cars. If I ever hit the lottery, first thing I'll do is buy one of those, except in coupe form.

Thanks man. I was thinking coupe but at end of day I just hate the look. Looks like a station wagon IMO. Anyway I already got a fast coupe. Time for a fast sedan! I think I got a killer deal on it...

2012 fully loaded automatic 6,000 miles on it. Raven black. $55,000 flat. The pic I posted was another one and in the end it was Tri color black or some ****. Prefer the Raven black. Here's updated pics of the one






Going to black out grill and tail lights as soon as it gets here.


Wtf OD!!! There is a 5th gen section.!!

Dude that's awesome. I want a wagon lol. I was thinking a lot lately about buying a c6z... I don't own a house yet, and barely pay rent. My bills are currently low, and I can get one for 40k or so.

That thing looks bad *** and you're gonna have a hell of a time with it. I don't think you can troll as hard as you do here, in the separate sections.

55k is a steal. I couldn't find one around here for less than 62k. They only offered me 37k for my kidney in trade anyways, so I wouldn't be able to afford it.

Haven't, I just know I'm getting older, and I'll eventually have to stop renting and get a house.

Heard that. When I graduate, I'll likely rent for about a year or so just to make sure I want to stay at respective future career and area and then likely go through the process of throwing down a 20% down payment on a starter house with room to grow

I hate rent and the concept of paying without "ownership", but it makes more sense than buying something, realizing you don't want it, and selling it and paying all of those miscellaneous real estate costs again

Sick ride, grats.

Is it blasphemy that being a Camaro guy I'd still rather have a CTS-V then a ZL1 camaro???

Not too many vehicles better epitomize the term "Best of Both Worlds".

Agreed.

@2SS - Search in that V section. Lotta guys are using ARH headers, 2.38 pulley. Intakes, probably Lingenfelter. You can get into the mid to low 11s on dr with intake, pulley, tune only.

Not bad for a 4 door.

[edit] Forgot to mention you'd have to grind the snout a bit with the 2.38.

If it was my build:
AirRaid CAI or New Era CAI
2.5" Upper Pulley
9.1" Lower Pulley (Innovators West or ATI Balancer)
ID850 Injectors
Ported Snout and Headers

It'd put you in the mid 500s, low 600whp range, depending on tune and fuel.

yea man, my biggest issue is housing here is so damn expensive, Im better off moving upstate, or out of state, where I could get a castle for the price people pay here for a tiny house. I love it here, but its too much money, and if Im making a huge purchase that ill be dealing with for 30+ years, I might not want to stay.
