I Want This Car :)

[Fish Chris]

.....and about 20 others, that I'll never have

 

Jay says, a lot of people buy really expensive "race cars" for the street, and it they just end up not suiting their needs very well. Jay says, "THIS is a car that you could take out to dinner, then drive it up the coast, then put it on track mode for some fun on the weekend". It's totally made for the steet.... but still not exactly a slouch, with almost 600hp

 

Oh, so even if you only watch a minute or two, then skip to 12:00 and listen to this thing, when Jay gets on it ! Yea' buddy

 

Jay said the bright blue paint wasn't his favorite. Are you kidding me ? That paint is off the freaking chain ! Perfect for the car

 

Peace,

Fish

Nice. I want one too.

looks like leguna blue same they had on the BMW M3.....nice for daily driver but plenty of cars i would rather have at the same price for a fun car

 I'm with Jay on the color, but that's just subjective. Very cool car though, and totally out of my league.

Nice....but with the little time I do get to fish (more than most maybe) I still want something that tow's a bass boat!!!

I am pretty stuck on a cadillac cts-v fully tuned right now.  There is a guy in Memphis with a 4 door full leather auto everything with nav that does 10.87 in the 1/4 mile.  All he did was tune, exhaust, intake, pulleys and cams(dohv so easy to change).  Oh yea, Leno has one of those too!

Those caddys are sick. Loved them since Letho was throwing their LMPs around against the Panoz and Audis and the original CTS Vs took on Derek Bell and the S4s in the speed world challenge.

 

Have you seen that one where it has the super charged wagon! that is sick too.

[Fish Chris]

Derek, wait..... don't tell me.... You would want a white one, right ? Or dark blue ? Red ? Something that would just blend right in, so nobody would notice you ? Then what the heck would you buy an Aston Martin Vanquish for ? LOL

If you want to blend in with some boring color, you might as well just buy a Toyota Camry

 

If this thing "wasn't" this bad @$$ blue, then it would have to be some kind of crazy, poison green !

 

~~~~~~~~~

CTS-V's are bad @$$, no doubt. But the CTS body shape is just pretty darn common. Kind of like driving a Corvette. I mean, they are also super awesome cars, but everyone and their grandmother has seen a CTS... and unless your a real car person you would probably not even notice the "V".....

 

On the other hand, nobody looks right past a Viper, without noticing it.

 

For me, being waaay less common, is a HUGE plus.

 

Peace,

Yea thats the thing though. These V's are outrunning vipers....and they look stock. Imagine pulling up to a redlight in your "granny mobile" and smoking vipers, vettes, gt's, ss camaros.....you name it!

Jeff

[Fish Chris]

No  doubt, CTS-V's are bad a$$, as are the new 2014 Corvette Stingray < A straight up American supercar ! {may I please have one of these too ? }

 

In fact, I'll admit, Vette's are beating stock Viper's.... but of course you can do anything to a car that you can afford ....and if you live in CA, just register in Nev

 

Their was a guy here in my town a couple years ago, with an original Dodge Viper RT10, onto which he had added big, fat twin turbo chargers. Dyno'd at 750hp.....

 

Anyway, the all new 2014 Vipers, are no slouches either though, with 640bhp !.... and again, they get my vote for standing out in a sea full of GM's  LOL

 

Hey wait.... didn't this thread start out about a beautiful "luxury car" ? ....oh yea, it did ! ....also with nearly 600hp

CTS-v's have one cam. They are not DOHC. They have an old school pushrod OHV engine.

Just letting you know.

Whatever the tech, the performance numbers don't lie !

Thank you for the correction!

Chris, wait 18 months and you can get that car for half of sticker price with hardly any miles.  Most people that buy AM's have it as their 3rd or 4th car and rarely use them.  I know 2 people with the old body style Vanquish, and each car has less than 3000 miles.  

 

Jeff, that is a SICK CTS-V!

RedLine, I'm sure your right..... but for my broke a$$, it would have to be about 1/50th the MSRP, for me to be able to afford it LOL

That CTS-V is awsome.
