Look what I ran into today!
So me and the wife were out for a little joy ride when we came across a brand new 2 door CTS-V and a brand new Dodge Viper SRT-10. I really wanted to play but talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight 
I decided that I should snap a couple photos instead of getting my *** handed to me
Not the best pics but they are the best I could do as I was driving and taking pictures, no pics of the CTS-V (I figured no one would be too interested as it really doesn't look like anything special except that this was the first 2 door CTS-V I have seen, I don't like the 2 door as much as the 4 door)
Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture of the hood, it is so AGGRESSIVE

Yeah and I don't think that I gave the best analogy, YOU brought a knife to a gun fight I brought a spork (one of those plastic spoon/fork combos you usually see at fast food restaurants) to a gun fight

your smokey detector, did you place it near the A - pillar?
it's a bad place performance wise!
put it in the center for better reading.
I tried one of many smokey gadget trickery box my friend have and there was a helluva difference in performance depending where it was located on front window.

warningyou take your car to ACG? how do you like it?
BUT, nice spotting on those cars! the Viper looks extra good
I can't wait to see what the refresh is going to look like!! They said it's going to look more Italian supercar-ish

In my opinion it already does, maybe not so much from the rear but the hood TOTALLY reminds me of a italian hood

It does now in some ways, but they want a redesign; to make it more upscale and rival ferraris more closely, I just hope they come through with it, but if not I'm just happy they are continuing the beast and not axing it like originally planned.
