Quote from: 4DRHTRD on March 13, 2014, 02:36:54 PMQuote from: mval on March 10, 2014, 03:06:08 PMMy friend who does my work just got a '11 CTS-V like Mike's except 4dr. I love my SHO & everybody's on the sight but when he hits the supercharger I hold on for dear life. Smoke the tires multiple gears, it's crazy fast. Cost him about what a new SHO would cost. GM has one advantage Ford doesn't, if it's got the room just drop a Corvette engine & you got a runner. a friend up the street has a new XTS non turboed from the back you'd swear it's a Lincoln.mikevI just added a lower pulley and exhaust, should add another 50HP.My last pass in the V was 11.5@124.9 hitting rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd - solid 10 second pass according to other's passes, that was at 600HP, I should be at 670+ HP within 48 hours. Looking for mid 10's@130.Luckily mods were on the car already except for the lower pulley, injectors, used Billy Boat exhaust and BAP I installed.I should be happy there but I also have my nitrous system just laying around.... I've given other V owners rides with 500HP V's and they thought it was crazy fast in comparison. My friends describe it as a jet airplane acceleration. It puts you in your seat hard like taking off in a jet, I've pulled to 140 and it never stops accelerating like that.

Ford had a 8.8 Billion dollar profit last year. Ford is doing something very, very right. GM may sell the most cars, but Ford makes the more money per car. So GM may have "corporate welfare" going for it, but Ford has something going for it as well.
