STS-V

Post by kevm14 »

Remember these? 4.4L supercharged Northstar. 469hp. Automatic only - one of GM's first applications of the 6L80. Rides on a stretched Sigma. Poor resale compared to my car. These went for over $70k and are worth about what the CTS-V1 is worth (which was about $50k).

Quite a bit heavier @ 4,295 lbs, so it's about the same performance.

It's dialed back to something perhaps more fitting for an executive sedan. Most likely a lot less fun on the Dragon. Probably great for daily driving.

The two cheapest ones:

Comes with some fancy features that were unavailable on my car:
- Rear HVAC
- Power tilt and telescoping steering wheel
- Rear parking sensors
- Heated steering wheel
- BOSE 5.1 surround audio w/ 15 speakers
- Bluetooth
- Rain sensing wipers
- Huge ass moonroof
- 19'z
- Projector high beams
- It may have the MR shocks (the base STS does) but I can't seem to confirm it

What a deal. These cars are awesome. 0-60 in 4.8s. Quarter in 13.1. Absolutely beautiful car.

2006 CTS-V - 50,000 miles, 15K
or
2010 Toyota RAV-4 40,000 miles, 16K

and I am picking the RAV... How depressing...

One of my friends from business school actually owns one of these. He also has a 76 Eldorado Convertible. He has a thing for big Caddys.
