Decided to go break some records today, 9 second CTS-V

[BlackGT]

A fox body with 3gs in it will not out run this car. Ha!

Everyone knows it takes $5K...

damn, can't keep up with all your rides!

you also had a gen 1, right? what all was done to it?

my mom has a real clean gen 1 currently that i'm about to swap all the mounts over to the creative steel units. she loves it, but the shifter is terrible (already put the upgraded shifter bushing in it).

Yes sir I had an 09. It was a built 414, direct port, big cam, all that good stuff. That car sucked! It broke all the time. The Gen 1's and Gen 2's are so different its not even a fair comparison. This is my 3rd CTS-V

mostly rear end related failures or what? she is an older lady, so her's lives a pampered life to say the least.

I broke every drive line part, not just the rear. Also the 6lug shit bothered me

ya, the 6 lug was a strange choice by gm. she still loves her v1 though, i may try to get her to upgrade to a v2 at some point, but this car has been great for 80k miles plus i'm not sure she'd enjoy the reduction in fuel economy for 150 more hp she'll never use!

Congrats Will!

EPA ratings are only 1mpg less (14 vs. 15 in city) and in a lot of cases the V2s actually get better mileage.

she averages ~22mpg mixed driving (hand calculated) with her v1, they show the v2 to do 14/18 (then again they show hers doing 14/23 so who knows). she just took it to st. louis and got ~26mpg average both ways.

[Junkie]

Damn she's getting good mileage! I get 17-19 on average On the highway

i'm willing to bet you two have slightly different driving styles!

i've averaged over 30 (per the cars little data screen) in a bone stock ls3 vette down to waco and back.

Sweet ride.

[CRASH]

I mean, it's no 5.85, but I guess it'll do.....





























Just fuckin' with ya. That car is hauling ass, Will ! Congrats man !
