Sold it
Well my camaro...my 'other woman'. Has gone to a new home. I took a real low mile cts-v (04 model) plus cash for it. I had planned on flipping the V and now I can't decide. Pondering just driving the V and wait and see what the 6th gen may bring at the possible January debut. This v is sweet though. I see foggy plans of Cs8.8 rear, cam heads nitrous...570-580 whp in a sedan...I dunno. Never can tell!
This makes two 5th gens I have had and have no plan to make it a third unless maybe a crackhead deal came down on a used ZL1. But I highly doubt another 5th gen is coming for me. I will hang because I learned a lot and helped put together a very successful combo. Thanks guys!

I'm seriously kidding. The V is pretty cool stuff.

V's are fun cars. I've owned 2 05 V's in the past. Post a pic.

Sad to see you sold your car but understand life happens! At least your still in the LS family.

On a positive note, I added up what I paid for the car and the price of all the mods (no labor), and came up with a 72% residual on the car at 3 years. Not too bad. Good job Chevy!

CTS-V is a pretty nice ride. LS6 power and the appearance is pretty nice too for a 4 door. Sorry you had to sell but congrats on getting the CTS-V!

I think a 2015 challenger R/T with the 392 would fit the bill for a new ride. Change is always nice Just saying ;o)

Can I have your C5 user then? It's a keeper.
I love those older Vs. So much fun to drive. I would like 4 doors. I would do the rear and get some turbos. if you keep it let us know how it turns out.
