I am considering selling my current car (information concerning car deemed inappropriate for forum) and getting into a CTS-V.
I've read about the 04/05 being more prone to rear end failure, but hadn't heard much concerning the 06/07. Are these still prone, and does anyone have any documentation concerning cases of the latter years failure? If so, what seems to be the most popular fix/solution?
How well do these engines hold up to forced induction, and at what level would you recommend using a forged bottom end? What appears to be the weak point? Rods/piston skirts?
Thank you for your time and attention on these basic questions. If any part of this thread seems to be braggish or advertising, I do apologize. I did not post any pictures of my current car, nor speak of its performance characteristics in hopes the mods would not lock this thread.
