I'm not sure why the mods decided to merge my thread about actual deposits on 2009 CTS-Vs into a rumors thread...

Well, for a while, I think the newbs with their "better" V's are going to be rich old guys, most of whom do not know what an internet forum is.

Yeah, in a straight line. The SRT does not have close to the handling prowess of the CTS-V, yet is has a far more punishing ride. Why? Because of 500 lbs of extra dead weight. I would give up 50 hp (from my bone stock 400) if I could give away 500 lbs with it. And supposedly, the 09 V is going to be about the weight of an SRT (4300 lbs). The current CTS-V is already a pig at 3800 lbs. I don't understand why it was anymore than 3500 lbs.

Because this is the first gen CTS-V forum. I have been saying for months there should be a second gen CTS-V forum. Many of us do not care about the next gen V and do not care to discuss it.

Saw a nice Mallet V in the classified's. RT should sell her CTS and buy that one.

We are talking about someone who ran over a lawn mower. In reverse at WOT.

RT's husband is lucky the laws have changed. For your wife to drive you had to walk in front of the car while she was driving. He probably would end up in the hospital and wouldn't let RT drive anymore when he did get out.

And an extra-large "STFU" goes out to Rob.
