The CTS-V sold last week.
New owner flew in, he tossed me a sack full of cash and I tossed him the keys and off he drove.

It was a great car, but it was time. I've logged a whopping 1500 miles on it over the last three years ... 600 the last two.
She sat in the back of my shop under a car cover most of the time.

So the stable is empty and doubt it will ever be refilled.

I sat in a new SS today. The rear visibility is likely the worst of any Camaro in history (it needs towing mirrors, like a panel van). I mostly fit, as long as there's no sun roof (then my hair drags the roof). It was raining so I didn't drive one...yet.

That's why IF I had the coin, and was in the market for a new pony/muscle car today, I would be looking at a Mudstain GT with the track pack, or, IF I could swing it, and wait for one, a GT350, or 350R.

Yes, I know everyone (all of the rags) rants and raves just how much more of a handling, 'driver's car' the 6th gen SS is than the base GT (or even the track pack version), but that does one little good if they cannot see out of it through bunker gun slit side, and rear windows, due to the sky high 'belt line' the GM stylists insist on using in their designs.
