Nik is thinking of upgrading again before he even has the car back together!
I guess that will be one if not the meanest CTS-V's around in North America
and its coming out of Manny's shop.

Yeah, and completely did not mean to go that far lads, honestly 
Some more items for the itinerary:
1. 55w HID fogs to burn your eyes out before
2. the sound of B&B 3" stainless steel header and catback guts your ears (I suspect it'll compare favourably to some of Manny's crazy cammed vette creations)
3. We have a new dual pod pillar mounted gauge setup consisting of a digital wideband AFR gauge and boost gauge as well as my old Aeroforce Interceptor multi purpose gauge that I've become so attached to albeit it's been mounted on the car for 3 days total out of the last 150.
New fancy shmancy offset racing trailing arms are being fabbed as we speak.
New fancier beefy toe rods are also being planned.
Never ends I guess

Aeroforce Interceptor, great gauges, had before in my last blown car, might get for the vette also.
They have made some great updates to the unit now.
