My wife gets sick in my Z. "I can't stand the G's." :roflpuke2:

So when I tour with her it's in the SL500 I picked up used a few months back. Fun convertible. However, still no room for human kids. Works well for birds and dogs though.

Can i ask what planet are you from?

Here are a few pictures of my friends CTS-V coupe. It has @750WHP and is a "one-off" becuase of the color combinations. The body color was not available with the wheels and calipers he wanted, so his contact at GM helped him have it built the way he wanted it.

These are bada$$ cars no matter which one you get :eek:.

Good luck

Thanks guys. The V is a hoot. She's not nimble like the Z but she can eat freeway with the best of the autobahn burners. Just drove her to Florida during our move and spent a day around the tail of the dragon. So fun!

Ownership isn't without it's woes though. I've already had the rear carrier replaced for a whining noise (now fixed) and the steering wheel is never straight. GM has been all over fixing it though. Now we're getting two new front tires under warranty for presumed radial pull. It's all fine though when I plant the go pedal and she leaves rubber strips through three gears.

She's already been voted fastest grocery getter in Naples FL. I still get pangs every time I see a Z go by though.

Beautiful color. I see quite a few V's out here in California, but I have never seen that color. And I understand the woes too. My SRT is at the dealer as we speak...got a Chrysler 200 rental. :shakes head:

Seriously? You just bought the goddamn thing.

I don't have a lot of money, so the "Z" was the choice for me. My "Z" is a lot of fun to drive and I never worry about the price of gas since it gets great gas mileage.

What camera are you using? Great great pics

Don't want to threadjack, but yeah it is having a knick on the hood repaired (hood getting repainted) that I didn't notice in the showroom, a headlight replaced for water buildup, front passenger interior door panel is loose, and a TSB for the head unit (center nav/screen/etc) update. But after that all should be well. And I put over 500 miles on it so now I can use the launch control button!!

So, standard Chrysler issues? :p

The two photos of the V cornering were taken by US-129 Photography (one of two 'companies' that snap photos of every car that goes down the Dragon every day of the year and then sells them online). The one with me standing by the car is with a Nikon D800. I used two remote flashes to illuminate the car and me since the sun was at my back. Top photo was a camera phone.
