Any New Leaked Info

wrazor1 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-08, 05:32 PM

Hello everyone, I have been reading this forum for the past couple of months or so looking for more information on the new CTS-V. If all of the rumors are true regarding this car I may need to sell the Lingenfelter C6 and get a Caddy. I thought about getting a V a year or so ago but the rear end problems I read about in this forum kept me away. So I think after 5 Corvettes and my ever advancing age (31), it may be time for something else. Needless to say, I am very excited about this car's potential.

Also, has any new info been leaked regarding real HP numbers, price, etc. from NAIAS? thanks and I'm sure i'll be posting more on this board in anticipation.

I'm anxiously awaiting the same information. I am seriously considering a 2G CTS-V. I am planning on making the short drive from Cleveland to Detroit for the NAIAS specifically so I can view the car and any new specs that are released. I only wish I could be in the press corps for the actual unveiling....

I think that's pretty much a given.

I think we all know it is a show, but usually, information is leaked prior to the official unveiling which occurs during the press preview. It always was with the Corvettes. Basically, we will know everything there is to know before the 19th. And I may take a trip to Detroit as well just to look at it.

No one has mentioned performance under 500hp, so I don't really see how anyone can be too disappointed. 550hp is very likely at this point. The number one unknown is PRICE. That is the biggest piece of missing info that will determine how intriguing this new car really is...

Very nice! Now we just need the pics and price and it will be time to place the order. Thanks!

Hand stitched IP and doors! Looks like a non-chrome front grill.
Meaty wheels and rubber. Anyone know if PS2 offers runflats? Can't image that combo being lighter than the current 60 lbs.

Looks they are touting torque management city! 4200 lbs looks like the lightest it will be.
