How do you get out of bed in the morning, you are such a negative person, never anything positive to say about any subject. |
I own an 08 300hp CTS AWD FE2 and a 2008 C6 Z51 M6 and I recently drove the CTS V and saw the CTS V coupe..
No question...in my mind...I'd buy the CTS V coupe automatic.. A personal favorite of mine.. and I've got a dozen or so years and three corvettes... That new cTS V is as fast as my 08 C6 M6 and really nice luxury at the same time.. The sedans cool....but the coupe...HOLLY SMOKES! Its stunningly beautiful. Nothing better looking for under 100 grand...IMO I will say I keep the roof off the vette all spring summer and fall..so my final vote goes the equally as fast...better handling Grand Sport coupe...(although I'd get a 6 speed manual as it comes with the dry sump oiling system and launch control...I'd buy a red grand sport but it would only be the M6 version) Nothing like top down driving when you want it and hard core performance coupe when you want it... Hows that for a flip flop! LOL |

Don't get us wrong, I think all of us like, love, respect, and some own a CTS/V but it's an apple to oranges comparison; and if you need an orange then an apple just won't do.
If you change CTS/V to Porsche Boxster you'd get 7 pages of discussion but if you need a back seat then a Corvette is not for you. If you want a Corvette, BUY A CORVETTE!!!!! If you're not sure, you better buy something else. My off the cuff answer would be, "Neither, buy a Chrysler 300 and enjoy it." |
Just had a guy park beside me at a car show today, he just picked up his new V coupe. This was a reddish/orange pearl. Wow, looks way better than those plain silver ones I saw in the pics posted a while ago. This was a nice car! :cool::cool: I shot some video of it, I am just processing, will have it up on youtube tonight sometime. :cheers:

So my wife and I are saving to buy a new car in about 1-2 years. We are going to pay off our mustang (2006 very base model with pretty low mileage) in about year so we will have a 4 seat car and will get the vette or cadi as a second car (that we'll probably drive daily though).
So in looking ahead we've been debating between a Corvette Grand Sport (we want a car with automatic) or a Cadillac CTS-V. The cadillac would be more convenient, we'd go for the four door sedan, though in keeping our mustang we don't necessarily need another 4 seat car. We really enjoy both of them for different reasons and are really torn, was wondering if anyone here is driven both and can share what the driving differences are. Right now we're leaning towards the vette since we'd rather have something more sporty and more fun to drive (we don't have any kids right now either so our mustang will last us for a long while for practicality). Also the vette has better mileage and we want to take whatever new powerful car we get on road trips, etc. Any thoughts, perceptions, or comments are greatly appreciated :) Buddy that moved from NJ to Vegas recently says "you don't see MANY convertibles in Vegas" with 110 degree days. CTS-V's are nice but there's nothing like a Vette, and the coupe gets high 20's on the highway easily. |

Come on Major. Just cause he justifies the Caddie? He's entitled. I see a whole lot more neg than that w/o ever having to go over to O/T. I bet he gets out of bed just fine. Now me, that's another topic :lol:

Get the Corvette unless you are too old to get in and out of the Corvette or need a baby seat in the back.
|
if you have kids the cts-v is nice to own
|
Buy the CTSV
Then contact LPE and buy their upgrade kit for the Cadi. I just upgraded mine and man-o-man, it is smokin:crazy:
Make sure to get the Recaro seats. I am putting down ~ 615 ft# and 574 WHP. The car is just plain fun and gets alot of complements. |
I test drove the beautiful CTS V coupe at monticello raceway today........and although its a great vehicle......Very impressive....
The corvette ls3 coupe or convertible is the better vehicle .....(as a sports car) I wanted to really like the CTSV coupe....but in the end...there is no way I could sell the vette to buy a cts v coupe... The vettes still more sports car than even the hot rod cts V coupe.. Just a heads up. Drive both then decide for yourself. |
