But I like radical! And I appreciate hard work no matter what: nice tuner or modded muscle.

My only thing with buying a Vette or the CTS-V (or even the Viper I've been talking about) is that they are the final product. I would prefer something I built with my own hands and own decisions, which is probably why I'm into Stangs so much. But that's just me...

So I will work on my Mustang, help my wife with her tuner... and drive a CTS-V as a daily driver! Ha! Nah, prob something more practial...

He can have my Cobra ...actually got the hitch on this one and then the terminal velocity of the ball and shaft magnetized the magnets!! Well, things got pretty ugly and it was all down hill from there!

I think I'm gonna try a Ferrari next.
