Traded my Speed3 in today on a...... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Bubba Ho-Tep · 09-17-2012, 08:55 PM

New left-over 2012 CTS-V Coupe (black diamond, 6spd manual, fully loaded w/ recaro seats, nav, etc.)

Amazing car- gobs of power seemingly everywhere at every rpm range. Can't wait to do the intake, exhaust, t-stat, pulley, and tune. Should be good for 630 crank hp.

Just wanted to share my excitement (today is my birthday as well)- best b-day present ever!

Here's some photos from this afternoon:

Including the V we have 3 cars. The two others are business cars. So yes it'll be my "daily" but I don't drive much. I work from home- when I drive to shoots I use one of the business cars. I expect to put 5k max a year on it. But who knows- I put about a hundred on it this afternoon alone.

Such a blast to drive.
