lol, jokes. I know what a cts-v is. I just do not like being called a noob. By V he could of meant a lot of things. I am not a domestic guy but i do love the CTS they look great. Not a fan of the lastest ones tho, i think the older CTS-Vs looked best, and in black.

Nope, been too busy to do anything, but that will change soon a little. Still working on the intake. Also looking into a standalone to be able to fully tune it and get rid of the 150 speed limiter.

Just bought a trunk lid from the salvage yard today. Plan on modifying it and adding part of it to my existing trunk lid over the 4th. I took the whole week off to hopefully get some (as my wife calls it) "playing with the car" work done.

I always wonder what that guy is thinking. Just cruising along at speed limit and, "Holy shit! That guy's going fast. Do I get out of his way? Stay in my lane?"

I know right? That's all I was looking at... Until he passed 140.

I've only been able to get 130 in a stock TL-P with 87 octane.
