[TampaV]

Mike,

It looks fantastic. I agree with you about the Recaro seats. They really make the car complete. As you know, I had a 2005 CTS-V1. The V2 is such a big step up in all areas. It's quite amazing the species has evolved as much as it has from V1 to V2. Don't get me wrong, the first gen car is a great hot rod, but just not the same design goals as the new car. I have to applaud GM for going all out to address so many issues with the V2. Time will tell if they have pulled off what it looks like they have, but it sure seems they have checked off all of the right boxes with this new V.

I am quite jealous, but then I think about my '09 Cyber Gray Z06 with your beautiful Caravaggio seats (thanks buddy) with track upgrades being installed over at Phoenix Performance and I guess I can live a little longer before I take the plung into my own 2010 Cadillac hot rod.

I can't wait to take a spirited romp with you in January.

Enjoy the new ride and get those snows on the car if the white stuff starts falling. We need many more reports as you explore the paddle shifters in sport mode and run it through its paces at Autobahn. I guess the track report will have to wait until they open again in the spring.

Congratulations on having one of the first (if not the first) customer delivered cars. Somehow, I knew you would.

Great pictures!!! Take some of the engine bay if you get a chance.
