Now THAT is the car Cadillac should put into production! I would probably go into Hock up to my left and right nut to get one of those.

Drem specs:
1000 RWHP
1100 RWTQ
395's on the rear
NO Pop tramp nav
M7
Lambo Doors (JUST kidding!)

What exactly would you do with that much power? Drive sideways everywhere?

Dream specs:
500 RWHP
550 RWTQ
315's all around (AWD)
NO Pop tramp nav
M8 paddle dual-clutch
Lambo Doors (it's a must)

It could be a new form of ALL wheel steering.

Driving sideways doesn't sound like a bad thing to me as long as there is nothing to stop the car!

I know you want to preserve the originality and uniqueness of the V, but let's be real here, GM needs to sell cars and adding a 7 speed automatic will help sell cars.

Can't let the 09 V rumor thread drift too far off the front page

C. Tony,
I heard a rumor that D3 is going to be selected as the official V-series Performance Tuner, and will have sales and tech staff at every Cadillac dealership. True, or is someone just trying to get us excited?

HUH? I happened to hate the pop up NAV, but I've kept that to myself. I still can't make up my mind. I may keep the SRT-8 and just add a Z06 and get it over with. If I can find a used one this winter for $55K or if GM offers GMS pricing, I'm in. A new 1LZ Z06 is $61K with GMS.

Damn, is that $11-12K off MSRP? Buying a new C6Z would be a great choice, but on the downside you would never drive your SRT-8 again, well maybe to the grocery store

#1. There one advantage that AMG has over ANY GM vehicle - dealer capability. Frankly I'm tired of cheap shitty support.

#2. A 7, 8, 9, bazillion speed transmission is not going to sell more Vs. See #1.
