Great car in concept and they suck in reality. GM just failed to finish the engineering before they sent them out of the factory. It's a fun car while it's working but nothing like a Corvette in reliability.
Ouch. I WAS thinking about one..

don't let 1 guys opinion ruin getting one. Cars have warrentys for a reason. Him having to spend 1200 on tires every 8k miles is purely his driving habits. The differential is a common problem though as i've heard. Check out this V forum for more info if your looking. I'm Gritter on that forum as well..http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...-series-forum/

What is it, the stock rear end can't handle the torque from the LS6

Congrats on the new ride, John. I get a "boring" V6 SRX and you get a CTS-V. I'm jealous.
