I wish I still had this one to convert into a dedicated track car today. I think I found the current owner and may reach out to him.
The CTS-V was a GREAT car! LS6, 6-speed in a 4-door sedan which handled better than the Z28 did.
This was a mistake car. I thought I would be 'ok' with a turbo 4-cyl, and bought it to get out of the V car payments. It lasted about 6-7 months and I sold it. Then bought the GTO.
70 Malibu. Was a 307/350 car when I got it. 2 weeks later the cam went flat and I started my senior HS project 355 build with then new & cool Vortec heads.
72 Nova. Started as a 6cyl/PG car. Converted to black interior with the multi-leaf rear out of a 71 Rally Nova. Put the 355/350 from the Chevelle in it.
Even with 2.73 one legger in the Chevelle and 2.56 one legger in the Nova, I won 25 out of 30 street encounters with that motor. Shit was slower back then. LS was brand new and not everyone and their dog had a H/C 200 shot version of one like these days.
This guy was buckets of fun. Cosworth turbo, intercooler, cam'd, wicked turbo lag and a ridiculously loud BOV - I do however not miss having to get towed home every couple months.
My 1st LS CAR 2002 ws6 6 spd sunset orange-only did exhaust to this car
Traded it in for a brand new 2004 gto 6 spd and joined ls1gto.com hit a deer and sold the car shorty afterwards had the car a little over a year, did exhaust intake and nitrous and ran 11.80 on street tires.
Then bought a 2001 ws6 sunset orange 6 spd(yes another one) held on to this car over 5 years and spent all my money on it, head/cam nitrous, moser 9 blah blah and stayed over on ls1tech.com....car was sold on ls1tech last year and now lives in Beaumont, TX
Now, I've been back on ls2gto.com for a month now where I'm am happily back in a 2006 GTO. I don't miss my f-body....the gto's are just nicer cars and I'm getting older and like the ride and the room. Picked up this 06 PBM M6 with a little less than 50K miles with CCWs, prc heads, custom grind cam, fast 102/NW TB, Driveshaft shop DS, KONI's....couldn't be happier.
And there it is with my wife's 09 GT(don't hate they are great girl cars)
