Actually I believe they pulled a 2.6L straight 6 with twin turbo's from a Nissan Skyline GTR and transplanted it into the '67 Mustang Fastback. Wikipedia is your friend...

I already posted my thoughts in an earlier post as to why I think it's logical to compare the CTS-V against the M5 instead of the M3. However the CTS-V did beat both the M3 and M5 in fastest lap time around the 'Ring. Link

I own an "almost" M3 with my 330i ZHP...and I like the compact size of it. The CTS from a spec sheet perspective (dimensions, weight, etc) matches up with the 5-Series, which is the rational comparison. The only people who seem to "get" this are either BMW 3-Series owners or Cadillac CTS owners -- the armchair critics seem to miss the point. Hurry up with the alpha based Caddy to compete with the 3-Series. And give a less expensive version to Pontiac to replace the G6 to take on the BMW 3-Series CPO sales. With all the leasing cutbacks, odds are the luxury brands sales are going to diminish in the coming years...

About time the CTS started getting compared to a BMW 5-Series instead of a 3-Series.

Hopefully that was just a Regal dressed up as a Grand National since they wrecked it.

For a brief moment, Pontiac was CAR...

You might want to check the year on the front page -- say 208, instead of 2008 in the headline.

Seems like something Camino might add to his future project idea list...

I pulled the crappy Generals that GM put on my truck from the factory. I'm on my 2nd set of Bridgestone Dueler AT's, I got almost 60K from the first set. I expect my AT Revo's to last just as long and they're even better than the last set so far.

I found some pics of my 1970 New Yorker, circa 1988-1989...it's even wearing its studded bias-ply snow tires in the pic. One small rust spot covered in gray primer that I repaired with "shoe goo" to pass inspection :AH-HA_wink: I paid $50 bucks for the car -- an estate deal my grand father found -- if I could start it, I could have it! Awesome car.

Wow, so people might have to buy a car they can afford? Another over due correction to the market place.

Already a thread on this here.

Saturn Outlook demo.

It wasn't always that clean! One day I will post some of the rebuilding in the project car section...it's really a street rod constructed into stock form. It scares commuters when I take it to work occasionally. I had a 1970 Chrysler New Yorker 4 door hardtop in Avocado green with a black vinyl top and a 440/4bbl (and front disc brakes!). The front grille was steel. I loved that car!

It was Jeepers Creepers.

I happen to have one of those in convertible form, though it pre-dates the 70s.

Hidden roof rack AND an available 6-speed manual trans. Nice job Cadillac. Bring on the V!

GM finally color coded the dorsal fin, yeah!

2009 CTS-V 2009 Saab 9-3/SportCombi XWD Also for 2010 I thought there was a chance the Silverado/Sierra were getting an MCE and the new 4.5L diesel engine options in the 1500s. 2009 brings wider adoption of the 6-speed autos.

Fastlane also has a video of a (camo'd) Volt scale model in the wind tunnel. Link to Article
