[QUOTE]Originally posted by 04 S281: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by M&M Performance *BlownMach1*: [qb] but his comment which u missed was that u own a non supercharged saleen, ok it was around 40k new and now worth maybe 15k to the right buyer..also it will run a 14.3 at the track stock..his new car runs 13.5s stock or better? [/qb][/QUOTE]I didn't miss his comment, I simply ignored it for lack of relevance. My opinion of the CTS-V doesn't stem from what I own, but from my past experience buying and selling cars. first, yeah, I own a Non-supercharged Saleen... a 2004 20th Anniversary Speedster... so? it was around $40k new, stills sells for $22k to $24, and still books for $29k thru insurance. I have 16k miles, 1 of 380, 1 of 14 in Sonic Blue, 1 of 2 Speedsters with optional chrome wheels. so... it's worth more than your standard 100k mile 99-04... which is what you'd end up with buying a Mustang, or a Saleen for $15k. second, it's rated 14.0 stock. if you're into that drag racing sort of thing. I didn't buy my car based on horsepower and performance, if that was my goal, I would have bought a Cobra, or a Mach 1 or LS1 Camaro and supercharged it with the money I saved. third, MY POINT, wasn't saying I had a better car than the CTS-V, it was that IN MY OPINION, the Cobra was a better car than the CTS-V... and that I wouldn't have bought it, or that I would have kept the Cobra, and got the CTS-V as a daily. Like I said, I was never a fan of 4 door cars, and in my dealings and both my own, and experience thru friends and family, Cadillac's are poorly put together and have terrible longevity and value. Maybe the CTS-V is different, I've never driven or rode in one. But i personally wouldn't take that chance if I had a 01 Cobra at home. If a performance sedan is what I wanted, I would have gone with an M5, 335i, WRX STI, or EVO IX... or MAYBE the CTS-V in a straight trade for the Cobra, if the Caddy had half the miles of the Cobra. But I wouldn't have come outta pocket for the Caddy, unless it had 1/4 the miles of the Cobra... straight up. Or it was the newer supercharged CTS-V. [/QB][/QUOTE]
