Raced a new CTSV wagon
First Ill say it wasnt much of a race since we didnt have enough time to really stretch them out. Second Ill say it was black diamond with dark rims and was freakin beautiful. Man I was gawking for some time.
Anyway I was in 3rd about 3500 rpm and was messing with him and after a while he finally gunned it but I wasnt ready. He got a about a car length on me and then I started to catch him. By the end of 4th I was next to him. We were then coming up on traffic so we both hit the brakes. He had 3 people in the car and God knows what else and weighs 4400lbs. I doubt it was anything but stock since it had a temp plate still. I have exhaust and a tune and a 4.10. Nothing else. I was kinda happy at first because I expected to get my butt handed to me, but once you add in all the weight he was surely at a disadvantage. Man what a sweet car. |

Re: Raced a new CTSV wagon
Haha, awesome! Yeah, those cars are ridiculous, that wagon could probably do mid 12's bone stock. That's awesome that the guy ran you when he had three other people in it!
If they didn't get such poor fuel economy, I'd probably have traded my V1 in on a V2 sedan already. But I only get about 16-17 mpg in my '06, and that bugs me. Getting like 14 in a newer one would really annoy me. But it's 400 lbs and 156hp more than my car, so it's not a shocker that economy suffers a bit. |

Re: Raced a new CTSV wagon
It's not cheap in Old Lyme, but they know what they're doing and get results! Comes with a warranty too!

Re: Raced a new CTSV wagon
I don't believe Callaway has any packages available for the CTS-V of either generation. The engine is already supercharged, and the TVS1900 has decent headroom, so most people could install their own pulley swaps, etc. No need to take it anywhere.
