For what its worth? The 1985 corvette which rocked the world with its 245 hp V8 was a cool ride.

Wasn't it until 1997 that the corvette finally went from a base lt1 v8 with 300hp to the all conquering 345 in 1997?

I remember my 345hp 1999 C5 coupe was fast as hell... (weighed in at 3245 lbs)

I think the technology today is amazing and with that even the base vehicles are amazing.

I'll probably go for the 300hp DI motor myself when the CTS finally hits. yet believe its important to mention that 255 hp is nothing to sneeze at either!

Just suggesting we keep perspective on how the automotive world is evolving.

Thanks for the heads up on the new caddy.

If any of you guys have camera PHONES don't be shy and use them.

Would have been cool.

BTW how were the stock rims with regards to the body stance..?

Did the car look like the show car or were the smaller rims a detriment to how well the car looked on the street?

TIA.
