The time slip was on the windshield of an all black 09, rather large looking Cadillac Sedan at a car show today. Owner saids it is factory stock except for a tune. He said it smoked several Vettes and GT500's. :cheers

The stock CTS-V I drove was clearly faster than my GT500. It is a great car. I think it's the best car GM has made to date.

I am very happy to hear that. Hopefully Cadillac can lure more buyers away from the European sedans. Although I've never owned a BMW, Audi or Mercedes, the CTS-V appears to be a much better value than anything they are producing with similar performance.

'Small aside: the CTS-V's optional front buckets LOOK great...and I would imagine they actually are.

Buuuuuuuuut, Pockets wants to see the new coupe in 3D. Four doors is two too many. (Four doors iz fer OLD people!:biggrin)

How much are you guys getting these for?

I think it would make a wonderful family hauler and performance car...

Not sure if it is worth getting one though, since I will have to listen to Sam harass me for the rest of my life...

And Obama got rid of Waggoner...!! Seemed like he had pretty good vision. Hope the replacement carries these good ideas forward.

The 552 hp Z/28 Camaro has already bitten the dust because of "PC" concerns generated by the bailout...:frown

Yep, soon GM will be build mostly eco-friendly cars that will only sell with a subsidy from the government. Big HP, CO2 belchers will be canceled as a condition of financing.

Hahah.

I see that you waited about 6 hours before getting curious...

That Thunder Gray looks really nice. Wow. That is the perfect set up that you saw. The dealer on Harbor has a $2K ADM on the window of a Thunder Gray, auto, regular seats, hard top.

"Good vision?" Are you being serious? He was the embodiment of Mr. Magoo when it came to seeing the big picture. Hell, he was still preaching that GM's financial woes were all caused by the financial crisis...never mind the 30+ years of poor management that preceded it!

Back on topic....the CTS-V looks great. Make mine Thunder Grey w/ Recaros and a 6 speed!

GM stock lost a staggering 98 percent of its value during CEO Waggoner's turn at the helm...
