CTS........mine.

Just picked up my CTS today. Black on ebony, 3.6, M6, 18" wheel performance package and sunroof. I got a great deal on it in IMO. Still getting to know it. It's quite a substantial car...very rigid and feels like it has lot of mass. It's cowl height seems to be almost as tall as my IROC's roof (not really, but it's tall ).

I haven't really put the spurs to it yet, but the motor feels pretty sweet, and chassis and brakes are impressive for a "luxury car". I wish the exhaust played louder music for me though.

Amazingly, the car was delivered to the dealer exactly 2 weeks from the day I ordered it.

Okay, I'll be back. Gotta read the owner's manual....

Re: CTS........mine.

This thread is worthless without pics!!!


My boss just bough a black 06 with 2.8L auto. I think she has grey leather.

We are probably gonna pick up a used 04-05 in the next 6 months. To keep this thread in forum correctness, when is the next CTS due at the car shows? NAIAS '07?

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

And....if I couldn't have gotten it with a stick, I wouldn't have bought it.

Hope GM takes note of that if anyone working on the Zeta Impala are reading this.

As for the quiet exhaust, I'm sure there's a cure for it. There's a CTSv in the area that has what seems to be an aftermarket exhaust with a set of mufflers that give it a loud but impressive rumble.

Re: CTS........mine.

Congrats!

I am pretty shocked that the car went from initial order to delivered to the dealership in 2 weeks. That is totally amazing.

What's the build date on the car? I mean, they would have had to start building it with a day or two of placing the order, I'd think.
