Really nice ride! ... and I love black cars, especially screamin' fast ones.
I almost bought a 2012 CTS V when I was looking and picked up my '13 SHO, but the price point of the V was a little high with all the dealers here didn't seem to want to negotiate much.... and honestly, there were a few things for a car that I also had to use as a DD; first, I had to crawl in, not like a vette (I drove C6 and C7), but still a bit of work for an old man like me and I liked the SHO back seat as well for all my ancient compadres, second, I couldn't find one in a color I wanted that had the Recaros and I found the stock seats a bit firm as well as lacking thigh support as well as bolstering, third all three of the V cars I drove had a lot of road (tire) noise from the rear wheels wells above 40-45 mph... (I think a few pounds of Dynamat or a better seal for the fold-down rear seat might have fixed this) and, finally, (remember I'm a old computer nerd) I preferred the revised FoMoCo sync system operation and extensive LED implementation. So I told myself I'd use the $30k I saved to do the mods.
That being said, a beautiful car that accelerated like a go-cart with a V8 was a big draw for me and the decision was hard. I know you'll love it. Glad your not letting this great forum go. I have learned a lot here! I'm looking forward to seeing your mods develop. I was interested in the Hennessy kit like SHOdded. Imagine your CTS-V with 1200hp!
