    Looks like a pretty solid pack. The Spyker and Hornet will suit my collection quite well.

    No worries, I will have more pictures soon. The engine is the original L48 small block V8 that it left the factory with. It's a 350ci pushing something like 250hp. And while 250hp doesn't sound like much from a V8, the car weighs basically nothing, so it doesn't take much to get it going ;) It is an automatic, manual 1977s are super hard to find, and usually command about a 40% higher price. Thanks! I really appreciate it. She is a fantastic cruiser. She was freshly painted back in March and just got a carburetor rebuild last week. So as of now, she is running good as new. There is no feeling like jumping in the car on a sunny day and blasting around the lake. It is one of the most relaxing things in the world.

    So, this is essentially going to be TDU2, but done correctly. This pleases me.

    Another picture of my baby. My graduation gift was the title to this car. She is officially mine and I am truly blessed. [ATTACH]17691[/ATTACH]

    Sounds to me like you need to drive your Silverado more. The brakes on my 2009 are fabulous, and the handling is the best I have ever experienced in a truck. As for me, my driven list goes as follows: 2012 Cadillac CTS coupe (rental) 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (Family friend's. What a car, I was speechless) 2011 Nissan Rogue (boss's) 2010 Chevrolet Equinox (sister's) 2009 Chevrolet Silverado (mine) 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe (mom's) 2006 Chevrolet Impala (grandma's) 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe (grandpa's) 2001 Lexus RX300 (sister's before the Equinox) 2001 Ford Mustang GT (friend's) 1977 Chevrolet Corvette coupe (mine) 1958 Volvo PV544 (grandpa's)

    If only we could sell them back on the auction house lol.

    Hybrids have no place in the performance car world, in my opinion. There is simply nothing about the thought that makes sense.

    Looks great, needs more power. Typical Hyundai small car.
  13. gingervette
    It's a hybrid. Therefore, it is crap.

    The CTS is not made to compete with the 3 series. The CTS was originally produced to have the capabilities of a 5 series/E class, at the price of a 3 series/C class. It was a vehicle made to essentially hold Cadillac over and keep them relevant as they create a more diverse lineup. The CTS will grow larger in 2014 to compete directly with the 5 series/E class/A6 while this ATS is aimed squarely at the 3 series, and that entire group of entry-level luxury sedans.

    The much anticipated 2013 Cadillac ATS was finally revealed this afternoon. It is the car that Cadillac has aimed squarely at BMW's fantastic 3 series. From the styling and options list presented so far, it looks like it may give some of the Germans a run for their money. Since this forum is made up of people from virtually all nationalities, I am curious as to how this car will be accepted (or lack thereof) in the foreign market. Presenting, the 2013 Cadillac ATS! The options list includes the following: -Bluetooth phone connectivity with voice recognition- -USB, auxiliary and SD memory card ports -SiriusXM Satellite Radio with three-month trial subscription- -Keyless access and keyless push-button start -Reconfigurable 5.7-inch instrument panel cluster display -Full-color reconfigurable heads-up display. -GM Magnetic Ride Suspension -Brembo Brakes -Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control -Intelligent Brake Assist -Forward Collision Alert -Brake Pre-Fill Automatic Collision Preparation -Lane Departure Warning -Side Blind Zone Alert -Rear Vision Camera With Dynamic Guidelines -Adaptive Forward Lighting -Hill Hold/Start Assist (Standard, manual transmission) Pretty impressive options list for an entry level sedan. What does everyone else think thus far? Bare in mind that no one has driven it yet.

    This is what I worry about the most. More and more people are starting to realize the lack of entertainment that the last few Top Gear seasons have presented. Previously, JC's racial comments were hardly noticed or scrutinized because everyone loved the show so much. Now that it is less lovable, his comments are gathering much attention, since they are about the only funny things he says. BBC may be more inclined to crack down on JC's shenanigans if the show does not improve. It is still certainly a good show, just not near as good as it once was.

    Hopefully season 18 will not be near as scripted as the Indian Special was. Why can't they just let the show flow naturally, like it used to? It was much better all around then.
