Nice plate, but they jacked those plate prices WAY up and that is Bullshit! I remember they used to be an additionaly $50 a year. And the plate isnt even stamped anymore should cost less.

Better watch out with that new M5 coming out. Also the AMG E63 beat it in the latest comparo. So it might be CTS V-who in a second.

You seem to have mistaken me for someone who drives stock vehicles.

crank pulley + free airbox mod + tune = 550 rwhp on these cars. Good enough for 11.50s typically.

From what I remember from the newspaper article a few months ago, the "regular" ones were going sky high also. Of course its very likely they were talking about the "myplates" ones and didn't have the correct info.
