Potential replacement for the SS?!?!!

Potential replacement for the SS?!?!!
OK, so this was absolutely the most fun driving experience I ever had! I got an invite to the Cadillac CTS-V Series Performance Lab in Joliet , IL last weekend! It was an all morning, all-out, race around the road-course track day with your choice of coupe, sedan or wagon CTS-V! (yes, that's the 556hp supercharged 6.2L) It was absolutely a hoot!
I fell in love with the black sport wagon with the 6-speed manual trans and was grinning ear-ear as I speed shifted & raced that baby through the twisties and roared down the back straight at the Autobaunn County Club! It was absolutely awesome! Now I just have to figure out how to come up with the extra $50K or so when I sell the SS! Heres a few pics...
Wagon looks great in black I think...
The new coupe is awesome also!
My buddy strapping on the bucket to go out for another run!
All kinds of cool cars and models to check out!
Best looking sedan there I thought... a new "Cadillac Blue" concept car with suede Recaro seats and Corsa exhaust. This thing really barked!

It was very cool! I coupldn't believe the smooth power those cars had. What a bucket-load of torque, something like 550 ft. lbs. at 3k rpm! Any time you nailed it it just pulled unbelievably!
The auto was fun as a start, to get used to the track, but the stick really woke it up much more! It really felt like a true race car... but there I was gliding along in this sweet luxury car with roar of the exhaust and tires burning! Very nice!

So someone finally found something that's more fun that our little race wagons. I enjoyed driving the S6 wagon too, I just can't pay the price, and I don't think 50k is going to take that one home either ?? When you start with FUN and divide by MONEY, and then multiply by VERSATILITY, I haven't found one to match the little bowtie wagon. It really sucks, that I couldn't be there with you, for me. That must have made your adrenaline flow pretty good !!
I really like the wheels on that one (silver) the blonde is standing by. Think we can get them in 5 x 110 ??

It must be fun to run it and have onstar call about your "accident". The CTS-V is a great vehicle and I would love to own one. Just not going to happen for me anytime soon. Unless someone wants to loan me 40K. Anyone?
