Very nice Petro! I guessed well because my brother and I test drove the coupe a few weeks ago! He said he wasn't sure what was faster (CTS-V or C63) but I know there is a lot that can be done to get insane power out of these beasts! Plus I think they look awesome!

Much better deal for the sedan. So good, I couldn't pass it up.

GM made an awesome car.

Blower pulley, tune and cold air intake = 100 extra RWHP for about $1500

I tried but it just didn't happen. I'll try to go 10's with this.

(a)'12 C63 P/P, LSD, 19" m/spoke,comfort pack. (b)Astra SRI.
Thumbs up

G'Day from Australia...Nice car...it has the LSA engine, right?
We were hoping to get these cars here, but owing to the GFC it never happened.
Our local GM brand is Holden, whose "Hot Rod" arm is H.S.V. who make modified Commodores.....we are reasonably confident that a H.S.V. Commodore will eventually be released with an LSA engine.....we already have one with the mighty LS7.
Cheers, Pickles.

Actually, the ZL1 and the 2013 GT500 were considerations but ultimately it came down to the Caddy because I've always been a 4 door sports sedan kind of person.

Thank you.

It is a great car. The interior and nav are miles ahead of the C63.

I do plan on tracking it once the weather cools down a bit.

Also, the dealership gave me a free pass to Monticello Motor Club in NY for some road course racing with their vehicles. Should be fun.
