Simply AWESOME, if I ever needed 2 more doors for kids or something I'd get one in a second. It is almost like a 4-door SS lol.

They are ALL RWD, you drove a RWD car.

?!@ i don't think so , the STS was a FWD , and from the short test drive that i made at GM's car dealer on the car i felt that the handling isn't right , you make me wonder !!
anyways over the regular one i prefered the 9-3 Aero ( maybe i remmber the saab more couse i liked it more ) but ill check .
thanks for the correction

The STS is a TOTALLY different car and platform. The CTS is the RWD Sigma platform.

It's good, I'd prefer the new M5 though, when it comes out...

well, duh :lol: :lol: hell, i'd take the older M5 over it, what i'm saying is, these 2 are in way different price ranges, but it seems that the CTS-V can really kick some ass for a lot less $$
i never like the CTS at all, untill now... :) but not the V6 one

boy this is kind of a tough one. I think it's too good to be true. I'm wondering if it can out handle the benchmark of it's class, the M3. About the same price, but the CTS-V has about 67 more horsepower. And do you think the CTS-V has a tuning capability like the corvette since it has a vette engine? I think it might. More so than the M3 engine. You can't make that engine better. It's impossible.

The M3 engine is very tuneable, but the LS1/LS6 engine has endless possibilities.

The M3 engine? Really? I thought it was so well made that tuning was extremly difficult.

It is exrtemely well buit, but every engine is tunable. :wink:

yeah, but i never thought you could supercharge it or turbocharge it.

Its surprising what the Germans can do ya know but there aint a lot a space under the hood....
I know that AC Schnitzer does a tuning packet for it i will try to find out more ...

Even if I could do that, I wouldn't do it... ruins a perfectly good engine.
