Afraid it might be a bit much for her?

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

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

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.

Bad answer, Jimmy.

..why not two-fiddy?:thumbsup:

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.

Then don't click on the 09 V threads, it's easy as that. We'll see how long all the Negative Nellies can refrain from talking about the next gen after it gets released and is on the street kicking ass.

damn this thread has over 6k post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the new CTS is about 300lbs heavier than the old CTS (3870 vs 3560) and the old v-spec was about 3950lbs? If the V maintains this course, it too will weigh about 300lbs heavier.. I truely hope that isn't the case, because the car will be a tank, and like some have said, I don't care how much HP they give the car, no one wants a lead tank..

no it would be 4570 with my fat ass (4350+220)

I sure hope we are wrong on the weight but how could the 09 V be any lighter then the base CTS? With the weight of the super charger it will be an even larger spread.

Got a feeling the AWD V will have Tank tracks on it.

Not to make this about Kraut mobiles, (but they are Cadillac's target competition) the new C63 AMG weighs in at 3800 pounds, has only 450hp and is drawing rave reviews for both its acceleration AND handling. The weight is not a huge factor as long as the chassis and suspension tuning is done properly. Remember that the Sigma II chassis has a 2" wider front track, which makes a monumental improvement in handling.

Don't fret.

Yeah but the C63 is lighter then our current V and the 09 V is going to pack on even more. The extra HP will take care of the acceleration but I would think you would feel the additional 300 to 400 pounds in the turns.

The C63 is a coupe, no? And it is ugly as hell. If that is the car I am thinking of.

No - 4dr sdn
Yes - ugly as hell (imho)

Other than the body cladding being way too busy, that is not an overall bad looking car.

Whatever I saw the other day was a coupe and was bug-eyed in the front, and was def an AMG. The guy was a jackass too, I would have handed him his ass had I been in the V.

I personally like the look of the C63 but I wouldn't trade in the V for it.

Where do you guys keep getting these C63 numbers? You're wrong. The C63 is OVER 4000 lbs...

Nice catch, Jim. I Googled it and found several sites showing it weighing 1,700kg, but it appears they were incorrect.

why is MB so clutch-phobic? Do they offer a standard in anything but the bottom-barrel C class?

And it has a pop-tart Nav™ :duck:

The new V is gonna be under 4k lbs. With all the honeycomb and carbon fiber, it will probably be under 3750.

I hope your right for the V's sake.

Then there is no way it will be under $60k

Maybe it will be the V06 version. (new rumor)

Sticks don't sell well in Sedans or most luxury cars.

I forgot, Texas cowgirls are bigger hard-asses than Northeast boys...

RT needs to get in touch with her feminine side, maybe a lesbian experience??

That video got me in touch with my feminine side........

Cadillac is a division. MB is a corporation that spread their clutchphobia to Chrysler as well. Not that I care about either company really.

Reality is Sticks don't sell well in expensive luxury cars. It just makes sense anyway you look at it not to mess with a Manual Transmission unless it's a 2 door sports car or an econobox.

Once upon a time nobody wanted a Automatic BMW, then all the YUPPIE scum started buying them and for the most part a manual BMW is a totally unwanted red headed stepchild.

You may be right, but I will still take my three pedals, thank you very much. They should have DSG perfected by the time my left knee goes arthritic.

Does anyone remember what the topic was here?

I think it was about a new cadillac that was going to crush the competition by sitting on it.

my local dealership is taking 500.00 deposits for the 09 v... i am gonna do it... it is fully refundable, so no risk...
