anybody wish . . .

[lilgCTS-V]

i was just wondering if anybody wishes that our cts-v's came with the 4.4l northstar supercharged instead of ls series motors? the modding platform would have been so much easier from what i see with the sts-v's

[SkullV]

its the automatic trans that holds their diffs together not the motor. There are MUCH fewer mods for the northstar.

Push rod = hot rod

Although I like the northstar engines (I have a baby northstar in my 99 aurora), I'm so glad the cts-v has the ls motor. Before I got the V I looked in to modding my aurora but there just wasn't much you could do with a northstar and back then nobody could even program the pcm.

I bought my V BECAUSE it had an LS.

Nope.

That is exactly how I feel.

Add another vote for "nope".

^^THIS

and i the fact it's a 6 speed manual caddy.

[repenttokyo]

yeah, ls plus six speed is why i bought the car. northstar is too exotic with too small of an aftermarket.

[lilgCTS-V]

dont get me wrong i love sayin i got an LS2 but isnt the sts-v motor pretty tune-able ?

[jrosevear]

I love the LS2. I love the power curve and that I can tune and mod it so easily and that parts availability will never be a problem.

But the dealer who sold me my car had a sweet low-miles raven 06 STS-V parked right next to it, and I've gotta say... if that car had a manual trans, I would have been sorely tempted to buy it instead.

[maxspeed96ct]

if the V didnt have a LS motor I wouldnt buy it.

If they only made autos I wouldnt have any intrest in the car at all
