Default Not a Porsche but a nice car...

I switched company cars today and decided on a cts-v.
Got alot of nice little stuff and mainly its 400Hp/395 Torque V8 is very impressive. Great acceleration and handling. Its got big brembo breaks with great stopping power, 6-speed and 4 doors, little cooling slots under the fog lights for the front brakes. Even got a digital G-gauge. The only draw back is the gear box, it's a little to sluggish. Feels like the shifter is going to break when you put it in gear a little hard. Other then that pretty nice car.
I know this is a Porsche forum but i thought you guys would enjoy the pics and info as we all are car enthusiast.
I have my priorities straight though, the 951 gets the garage

It might be faster but i dont know if it will run as good in 19 years. 0-60 times is not to far from a Turbo S.
It still does not have that feel the turbo has. I enjoy driving the 951 more then the V.

I seen one of them today, it was at the gas station, it sounded pretty mean.

Nice car.

Wow, what the hell do you do for a living? Sure beats the Taurus or Malibu most people get.

GM is finally getting their stuff together. I love some of the new caddys, even though the rear styling is questionable.

I wouldnt say they're getting their stuff together, they are suffering big time.

This may not be true for their financial position, but with the new Vette and Cadillac pushing its V series, I am more interested in Detroit metal than ever.
