Random thoughts for the day

Well then.... not sure if I like it over my beloved E63 S AMG but... it looks good and I'd probably drive one. Maybe.... idk. Can't bring myself to the GM side that easy.. http://m.caranddriver.com/features/2016-cadillac-cts-v-in-depth-with-the-four-door-corvette-feature

I'm trying to stay true to Ford, but that new CTS V might be enough to pull me to the dark side. It's either keep the SHO and pickup a 13/14 Shelby or trade in the SHO and roll a CTS V for both work and play. Waiting to see what the pricing of the Caddy is going to be.

The V is a great car (albeit not as comfortable as the SHO IMHO)...BUT if you can get a real Shelby... especially with Caroll just dying... sweet!

$85,000 plugnplay for the V.

 

[wasinger3000]

Yeah..... not sure if any US made car is worth 85k. Only exception being the Ford GT.

Maybe a used E63 would be my choice over the CTS. AWD will always win in my book.

That and a twin turbo handcrafted 5.5L is far more attractive than a supercharged GM motor.

My brother has a 09 c63 amg and that thing is wild. Def a looker as well

I like the c63 as well but it's a different animal compared to the E63 S. 0-60 in 3.7 without brake boosting.

Damn, 85k?  Yeah that's a little strong.  For that price I'd much rather have an E63 over the V.  Can't believe they went up 20k on the price since the last version.

No more bailout?

Tesla does the 1/4 in high 11's right?

Wonder what type of mods are available because it looks like top end gets shafted a bit with that great 0-60.

Got a 2015 Suburban LT 4X4 for a rental car.  Damn, I love this thing!  So big and comfty.  Rides like a Cadillac compared to the 2007 Durango.

wash:
They had a couple of them at our car show. Looked really well made, just a might plain of course with no engine & them not showing the batteries could account for it. but it's an amazing car that's for sure. nothing i'd buy as i like some noise from my car, but is for sure the future.

Started a trial run with Lubegard Fuel Booster in the Edge today.  Anyone here give it a go yet?

 

[Airbornemaikai]

All white but still the Odd man out, but there are some eco boosted vehicles in there

Cool story, also cool they gave him a taurus but i would of thought they would give him an awd version because of the snow... Unless i missed the awd badge. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/28045659/man-who-walks-21-miles-to-work-surprised-with-new-car

 

[PokerMunkee]

It has the optional wheels the SHO has.  Isn't it AWD?

 

[PokerMunkee]

Nevermind, those wheels are optional on FWD as well. 

That's a sharp looking Taurus.  Good publicity for Ford, some people will give the Taurus a look now.

 

[panther427]

That's awesome. Hope he enjoys his new car as much as we all enjoy ours.

TRUE to that,guess thats why they dont recommend changing the original fluid if you exceeded more than 60k on it.
