Not Just a CTS-V , but a BLACK DIAMOND , 6OF9 BUILT IN 2011

Alright that does it. My next Texas vacation, usually includes a ride to McAllen, just may stop by to see your shop, if that's okay?! Do I get to test drive a few of them, i'll pay for the tires we burnout. Got a good spot to test them out and see what they really can do?

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN, I WILL RESERVE THE DRAGSTRIP FOR THE DAY , AND MAKE A PARTY OUT OF IT WITH THE LOCAL CAMARO CLUBS

Now that's Texas hospitality! Never been on a dragstrip. As long as we don't "borrow" someone's car where I might end up in the trunk like my husband. Must be all those Border Wars shows I watch. LOL! I was having some fritos chips the other day and poured some of my chili into the bag of chips. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, I said its a Texas thing.

Exactly. ALL inserts are made of carbon fiber; however, it just depends on whether you opted for the $600 "exposed" option. If you didn't, it gets painted (2012-black, 2013-gray).

ECF is in fact an option. If you don't have the ECF insert then your Carbon fiber isn't exposed on your vehicle.

Be happy you have a roof, mine sleep out under the stars every night.

Very nice garage. What other rides do you have in there? I spy a CTS-V, TF3 Camaro, ZL1, and a Merc (not sure what type I know nothing about them)

Understand they just built 20 CTS-Vs in Matt Black (flat black). Would be nice to have one of those.
Killer car collection, congrads.

Yes - the ZL1 mohawk air extractors are all made of carbon fiber.

some (standard) are factory painted black and or ashen gray.
some (B92 option) are exposed CF weave with clear coat.
