That V is sharp!! GTR.... lame from the rear. I saw one today on the road in Singapore... guy was driving with his head phones in. But I think it looks ugly from the rear, along with the stangs'.

The way you describe your self looks like u are very successful guy. My opinion get the cts-v coupe looks elegant. It will fits to your personality (i think).

You amde agreat choice. I have ridden in a CTSV coupe and it was a rocket. Very refined and had a great ride. Perfect for a business owner to take clients out in. The Camaro would have been too sporty... and honestly not professional enough for you. One more thing is the resael on the CTS-Vs have been very good. They have not depreciated to the level of a standard Caddy. But you arent driving just any old Caddy either.

I would've said CTS-V over ZL1 as well. That luxury factor...I mean, if it was price, sure the ZL1. But if price is no object...CTSV Coupe.

By the way, the hole in your paints belies your success,

You bought the right car! Congrats and best of luck with it!
Can't believe all the negatives about the rear end of the CTS Coupe. Personally, I think that is what makes it distinctive and beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. BTW...I had an '11 CTS Performance Collection Coupe prior to the Camaro SS. Long story...it was a lease missed the performance and manual transmission of my previous Vette etc. etc.

Carzzy,

Do you get new plates every time you buy a car? That's quite a collection!

Yeah lol...just got the "In God We Trust" plate yesterday on the Camaro. It eventually will be on the garage wall too! I have 188 plates hung on the garage walls.

I have a spanking new sedan V......4600 miles in the last year....compared to 3000 for my S/c SS.

i saw a coupe... i can't say its not nice...still i prefer the elegance of the sedan

if the sedan merely had the center exhaust it would be superhot.

those are some long doors and you think you need to worry about your camaro.

my cars are modded....the SS more heavily.....and they are 2 totally different beasts

i have coilovers bushing inserts alot of suspension...but the caddy is just as fast ( 1/4) and it exudes luxury....its hard to belive its a GM or American..

40 gig boys.... thats like 4 x what the lunar lander had.. nd more than some private jets.

anyone wanna trade a CTS-v sedan for a zl1....anyone think that a good idea?

as i have s/c SS that runs 11.6- 11.8 depnding on heatsoak and Florida night weather!!

I was in the same situation and picked up a 2010 CTS-V Sedan because of my business. My LPE 600 Camaro was a little faster but not much. I do miss my Camaro but I love the CTS-V also - no regrets.
