Hi guys,
I had an interesting thought/question:
It seems like a lot of threads are devoted to making our CTS's look and ride more like CTS-Vs (more power/more noise/mesh grill/etc.)
As a member of the LS1/LS2.com forums, us 350HP+ V8 Trans Am owners are often the envy of the 6 Cylinder crowd. (A Trans Am ain't a Trans Am without a V8, if you ask me!
)
When I was looking for a second car, it was primarily as a more calm daily driver and winter beater. Hence the CTS. (Too bad it's rear-wheel drive, but what can you do!)
Even if the price of a CTS-V was $1,000 more than a CTS, the LAST thing I would want in my garage is another loud, Gas Guzzling, Rear-Wheel Drive, V8 Car.
I was wondering what you guys think? Is almost every CTS owner a wanna-be CTS-V owner (but shunned at the price tag), or do any of you (like me), truly want a calmer, more fuel efficient, quieter, less powerful, easier to drive in the winter, 6-cylinder car?
...just curious...!!
(Now, having said that, I think I feel like taking the Convertible Trans Am for a spin today!
)
