New to the Site!

Good morning. Found this site by accident.

I am a gear head, love horsepower and performance vehicles.

In the performance stable:

2009 CTS V (Stock)
2004 Ram SRT 10 (Roe TMTS supercharger, internals forged)
1997 850R Sport Wagon (Over 300 front wheel hp)

Can be found most of the time on the Cadillac CTS V or VTCOA forums.

Thanks for the compliment.

I never thought I would be driving a Cadillac, never!

Until I started reading about the CTS V.

556 hp
541 ft lbs tq

12.3 quarter, with the LSA engine...nearly the same power plant as the ZR1, but with a smaller supercharger, de-tuned, and the rods and pistons are not forged.

But imagine getting a low 12 second four door sedan for under $70k with a 100,000 mile warranty!

I only have 2000 miles on it, but it is the quickest, quietest and most comfortable daily driver I have ever had.

Love it so far...

Nice stable. Had a friend with an 850 Volvo and it was pretty quick with the mods he had. I had a soft spot for the T5R's wagon in yellow back in the day. Love the CTS-V. Nasty car stock. Whats the power levels on the Ram? Im guessing around 650rwhp?

Very close. 685 rwhp...it is just a garage queen these days...drive it in nice weather and show it once or twice a month.

The 850R Wagon is for sale...don't have enough posts to put it in the for sale section here...it pushes just over 300 hp with a motronic flash, IPD exhaust, Bilstein struts, shocks and M&H racing springs. Its a one owner beauty...I have run out of garage space...wife has a Prius and we also own a Lincoln Town Car...one too many cars...so the Volvo has to go.

Nice. Big fan of the V myself. Can't wait to get a chance to mod one for someone. Awesome awesome car. Can't stop talking about them. We just got a White one at our dealership, which is the first white one I have seen in person.

Nice truck as well,....used to street race against a guy with a sean roe viper back in the day. Nice setups.

Thank you sir!

Sean did all of the work on my supercharger...it was the prototype for the street. I lived about 40 miles from him in '06.

I am trying to resist the mod bug on the V2. But it will get headers, and a pulley before long...and 20 inch wheels...I am tempted to drop it an inch too...but you know, a 100,000 mile warranty is incredible on a supercharged LSA engine...I would hate to go too far and sacrifice that...if I were to do so...forged rods, forged pistons, the larger supercharger...and maybe a small shot 50 or 75 to keep the charge cool on days at the track...
