I have been thinking about a new car for awhile and had it narrowed down to a few. And this is what I got, 07 CTS-V. It appears that it may be more rare than my SVT. There are under 900 for 2007 and the red is a rare color on top of that. I will be selling either my truck or the SVT in the spring. I am in negotiations with the wife to get rid of the truck. Sorry about the picture I need to get a photo bucket account

The 2007 CTS-V is somewhere in the 400-450 range I believe. The new 2009 CTS-V are 556
 
07 is the 6.0 with 400 hp. This is the last year of the first generation. It is really comfortable and the torque is amazing. I was only looking for 06-07 because of the more common 6.0 and updated rear diff. It also has some wheel hop issues. Although I have never really had a problem with my SVT and this car doesn't seem to bad.
 
I have an '05 CTS V and I love it. Couldnt be happier. Honestly I dread driving the contour, thats why its my winter car.
 
Yea that is sadly what is probably going to happen to my SVT. The most annoying thing I have found with the cts-v is the pedal configuration the gas to break pedal distance is terrible compared to the contour and other cars I have driven. I will be fixing that first.
 
Loooove my '05 CTS-V. Making around 400whp off the spray and well over 500whp on spray. They are 400chp from the factory. Doing a direct port nitrous system over the winter and I'm going to run it as a dual stage with my plate kit!

It has a TON of suspension work done and a lot of modification to the rear cradle to help prevent wheel-hop.

I have seen you over at cadillacforums and here. Your car is pretty sick. I don't think I will be doing much to the engine yet but will work on the suspension down the line. What do you have for recommendations for wheel hop any cheap fixes to at least help with it. I haven't driven it enough to get a feel for how bad it is, but a few times I got on it there was some hopping. Maybe shoot me a PM.
 
Yeah I've seen your car over at the caddy forums. I dont think i will be doing much of anything until my GM warranty is over, or i get an 09 at a good price. sorry kim if you drove a V around you would feel the same way. :)
