Default Have I lost it?

I hadn't been drving my CTS-V much in the past 4 months, so I sold it to a guy in Kansas. He picked it up early last week and after taking him for a ride, I missed it. I went straight to the Dealer the next day and picked up another one.. My last car made 670rwh 629rwt, my plans for this one is to twin-turbo it. I'm hoping for 750rwh and be smooth and quiet. I had a new BMW M6 on order but after driving one, I wasn't impressed and went back to a Caddi..

I picked her up on Monday, drove straight to the paint shop. Getting trim blacked out, grille blacked out, all the chrome painted body color. KW coilovers will be here tomorrow, complete clear bra on Monday and then I'm going to drive it a bit to break it in before I twin-turbo it.. I can't seem to get away from these damn Caddy's..



My buddy is getting the same stuff done on his white one...

Have you lost it? Yeah, maybe a little. But you know, having lost it sure looks like a lot of fun!!

I'm surprised with the additional torque being supplied by the Twin Turbo Bimmer M6 that you didn't find it to be more entertaining.

I just spotted one on my way home from the dog park. Great car. I can understand why it would be hard to get away from.

I think you're good.

Isn't asking this question like asking a drinking buddy if you drink to much?


Love those cars.

I miss ours also. We had two different Z06s,and while they were quick, they didnt compare to the feel of the caddy....

Nah, you haven't lost it. Now if you take the Caddy to Hennessey, then I'll tell you you've lost your marbles.

Can you tell us what your recipe for 670whp was ?

And what your changing for the TT ?
Will they fit in the engine bay ? What headers etc. ?
whatever details you want to share. I'm not all sure what goes into these cars these days.
