It has the original V6 power plant still in it, with a 5spd. The rims I ordered from procomp and alone were $3400....ouch!!
The car was built in Ontario using the archie body. It was lowered 3 inches, and interior designed after the original F40 (very plain) Here are some pics of it in the different stages of the build, and when it has the 20" rims on. I am sending it in soon to get repainted as there where some flaws from before that I sanded out in the fiberglass. Enjoy!:seeya:

Sweet car! CTS-V is on my list of cars i must own one day,i am a huge caddy fan anyway,have owned several sts's and a dts.My wife asked a while ago "why dont they make a four door corvette" I think thects-v is as close to a 4 door vette gm will ever produce.
 
Yup, is a nice car, wanted something to drive in the winter that was fun so picked up the V, I would buy a new one in a heartbeat
if I could afford it, just too much cash right now.
 
I drive a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 for a daily driver. I found this on youtube... A GCSRT8 vs ML63 off the line... The ML has tons of mid range and top end as you can see it catching the SRT8. Quick and fun video.

Sorry, had to remove that link as it was a street racing video. Find some where they race on a track an we are A-OK!:seeya:

Thats not bad at all, must have done a few tweeks to it, think they usually run in the 13's.
The Jeep carries alot of weight around with it, they are almost 5,000lbs!
The vette at just over 3100+ the power to weight ratio really makes a difference.
 
Here's another one to add to the old colection!A 1971 Cadillac Eldorado convertible,now i just need to figure out what exactly i'm going to do with the old beast.

Yah, that's always the chance you take and that is best left to the Mustangs.:D That looks like it would be an awesome highway car!
 
I guess I never posted up the other inhabitants of my own garage...

2010 Merc GLK 350 White w/ premium and sport packages (wife)
2001 Merc E55 AMG Black w/ only 47k. ("daily driver" that likes to also munch on the casual and unsuspecting Hemi LOL) Insanely fast and quiet for a "family car".

This heap. 1957 chev 4 dr (car for the family to cruise in) that has been eating at my time and psyche for too many years. It looks better than it is.... lots of sheetmetal replacement underway.

Cost of restoring that one vs finding one already done in the states? Or is that not the point? I know that it's not the same as if you build it yourself. What are your plans for the build? LS motor or a mild 350 with an overdrive? Turbo 350/400? Straight 6?
