Went ahead and traded my built 01' Cobra in for a 2005 Caddy CTS-V. Got a good price on it, with low miles. Ummm... Can't really say I'm missing the Cobra lol...
The Cobra:
and then the Caddy:
the guy that owned it before me was the original owner. He powder coated the stock wheels, lowered it on Eibach Prokits, and he rolled the fenders. So far I'm in love!! It's stock besides a K&N intake, it ran a 13.4 @ 111 on some shitty 245 tires... I think 12's with Some good tires is possible.

Mario: does he have a V?? And pics for sure!!
John: I've got some 03 Mach 1 heads in good shape. And it wheel hops no more than my cobra did, but the diffs are weak on these. Pretty much the only downfall on the car....
Thanks guys!

Looks sweet man, I was real close to picking one up a few months ago, But decided to hold out for an 03/04 Cobra.
The rear ends are supposed to be okay as long as you're not a stupid driver. If it wheel hops let out, or you could stay in the gas and destroy it lol
Nice car

Damn, I was trying to figure out what you were doing dumping all the Cobra parts. Looks nice though, as long as it makes you happy then roll with it.

I respect what those cars are & I would LOVE to own 1. I respect what GM engines do, but I couldn't stand to be stangless. Gotta at least have 1. Plus, Ford stepped it up with the new 5.0...
Like I said to you when you got the car, Just please don't turn into another 1 of those guys that bashes Ford's just because you have a GM product now. A couple of other buddies who were die hard ford flip flopped & then became Ford haters & LSX nut lickers... LOL

I guess it's a nice car... I woulda kept the Cobra. Something about Cadillac makes me uneasy... like the fact you can get a 4-6 year old $100k car (2004-2006 XLR's) for like $18k-$24k? Or the formerly $50k+ CTS-V for $12k-$20k?
Meanwhile, 8-10 year old Z06's (MSRP $50K) are still selling for $17k-$20k... even the 99-01 Cobra's (MSRP $28k-$32k) still sell for $10-$15k... You can even go back around 20-22 years and look at 80's-90's 5.0's... original MSRP was like $12k-$16k... and they still sell for like $5k and in some cases still sell at MSRP!!!
So 75-80% depreciation versus 50-66%... all in the same economy... Fuck that... I'm straight like indian hair...
