    Factory stock 600hp Cadillac CTS-V

    right off the assembly line, 100k mile warranty and it'll probably still knock down 25mpg on the highway. LMAO.

    New 2009 Caddy

    Holy Crap! I've recently installed a new all aluminum LS engine in my hot rod, and these new GENlll & GENlV motors are potent...but they just keep get'n more & more unbelievable horsepower out of these things! By far, the best pushrod motor GM ever came up with.

    funny how it has taken most of the automotive public 10+ years to realize how bad f'n Ass the LSx engines are... yet if the japs or Europeans produce something new, its instantly a world beater. (like the camshaft eating tundra )

    Clevelands were some bad MFs back in their day, if you could keep the bottom end in them nothing some R&D wouldnt cure. they were some gas guzzlers though.

    Jim , A customer drove in with a 05 model cts-v last week . LS6 , 6 Speed Manual .What a Sweet Ride . I told him it would make a nice box of truck parts . CTS-V / Tahoe . What you think ? As for the Action ,I think you should go with that blue ,but skip the black . Those boats lend them selfs well to solid colors . Rich Martin 018

    yea just skip the half-shaft wheel hopping IRS in the V and stay with your solid axle.

    I'm shooting for the design that these had back in the late 70s early 80s. (just with different colors than the white/brown they seemed to love) its hard to explain, but check out some of the pics action 17 posted.
