CTS-V is tempting me ><

Going to go test drive one this evening, found a good deal on a used one for around 40k, though i'd much rather have a zl1, should i keep waiting or save a hell of a lot of money and get nearly the same car now?

Wait. You'll look prettier in a ZL1

I don't agree it's nearly the same car.

Wait For The ZL1 As The Caddie Will Be Ho-Hum To You In A Month

Yes they are nice, but do not have dual mode exhaust, which to me adds a lot to the car.

Why do you want someone else's sloppy seconds when you can have the same thing but in a lot better looking package for the same price and virgin?

Of course it'll beat your Camaro unless it is modded a bit or a ZL1. the CTS-V is for the most part on parity to the ZL1 in terms of performance on the strait lines.

Curious as to what year you are looking at for 40K. I think Im turning my attention away from the ZL1 and looking at slightly used CTS-V. Everything in my area are 2009's for 42K ish and about 20-40K in miles.

Call the dealership, they will usually knock off a few grand

sadly they are all lies, they either are old ads or they are just BS'ing on the price . Also a used cts-v is around 40k vs the 60k zl-1, big price difference for the same engine/suspension
