Cascade Crew

IROCDave

One of my tower crane operators " mentioned " that he picked up a new car to me yesterday. This is the same guy that has a 69 RS/SS 396 4sp car with a 496 Jim Greene built 496 stroker and a 2008 Z06. He said he ordered the V coupe last summer and picked it up last November for his wife. I havent seen a single CTS coupe let alone an V coupe yet. Anyone seen one of these beasts yet?

It really is a shame that the guy has these cars. I tease him reguraly about the carpet never being depressed under the gas pedal. After several years of prodding he has no desire to run any of his cars at the track. I have even tried to bait him into running my IROC, but no dice.

I haven't seen a coupe yet in person. I have some serious lust for the sedan, though. I think given the chance, i would get the sedan anyway...for the money if I wanted a coupe, there are other options. But, the sedan is one bad arse 4 door family hauler.

There are some options for a 560+ HP luxury coupe, but none at the price range the Caddy is at. The Z06 would be the first choice but if you already have one of those and was trying to pursuade the wifey into another ride the CTS-V coupe makes sense. The liscense plate says " BADCAD".

When I went to Wisconsin last August, I got to sit in the first 6 speed ever delivered to the state. One of the sales managers at the Buick/Cadillac dealer asked me if I've ever seen one, I obviously said no Laughing

He walked me around back to the service drive and there was one in black. Absolutely gorgeous. The interior was phenominal and the sound of the engine was badass.

Defenitely a good opportunity. Hefty price tag, though.

Smitty ( guy with the V) said he got a great deal on it plus loyalty+ freinds and family discount. I would guess that it still costs 58K. Badd car though.

I've seen a couple cts coupes and a couple ctsV's but never a ctsV coupe. That rear quarter panel is huge, but I think I could make due with 560+ hp. Shocked

560 + HP would be a blast in a car like that. My buddy said it actually makes more bottom end power and comes on harder than the Z06. Hard to believe, but hey, he is the one with the cars. With that in mind I know he doesnt wring them out. I cant wait to get my car dailed in and take him for a ride, he will be suprised. I know for a fact his 69 RS/SS 498 69 camaro would be embarresed by my car and if he cant shift his Z06 would be a close match. That is after I get new injectors and a decent tune.

I played with a new 5.0 Mustang tonight on HWY 9, had to let off several times to not rearend it.
