I love my SSR but I saw this Cadillac CTS-V tonight and it's a fine car. What do you think.

great response guys. I knew it would be a tough sell on the board. I wanted to see what you guys thought of it. I'm not doing anything anytime soon.
Rick SSR, the CTS-V is a limited production also. It is not the same as the regular CTS. CTS-V
lloger, I'd be interested to know why you wouldn't want a more powerful 05 instead of the original? Do you guys think that the SSR first year edition will be considered a classic?
BTW, I spent 4 hours painting the calipers this weekend, I don't think I'm in a big hurry to trade it in, was just an idea. :jester

Why would I?
I wouldn't trade for the '05 for several reasons. I didn't buy the SSR to race it, I bought it for what it was intended for, a cruiser. I personally believe it has plenty of power for it's intended purpose. I love to drive it and I drive it every day. At the price of gas now if the mileage was any worse and I had to put premuim gas in it, I'd probably have to drive it less. I've already done quite a few little detail upgrades to it and after it's lowered and the ghost flames are painted, I'd hate to have to start over again. As with anything we buy it's all a personal thing with each of us and these are only my personal opinions.redssrloaded said:

Fun Wow!!!
"...If you were a stealth person you would never have bought an SSR in the first place..."
Whoa.... that is the BEST I have heard in a long while there Mr. FREEZER!!!!!! :lol (I am still rolling on the floor laughing my guts out here....) :glol
PS So... isn't it great that we can have so much fun with all our SSR buddies here? :grouphug

It's all up to you
I too was taken by the CTS-V and, with the SSR being my 2nd 2-seater (the other being a C5) I sometimes wonder if the CTS-V would be a better 2nd fun vehicle. I still have small kids and often have to leave both the SSR and the Vette behind and take either the Impala or Tahoe. Depending on your personal situation this could be the right choice. No doubt, however, you'd miss the SSR. And you'd be going from the epitome of "non-stealth" to the absolute opposite with the CTS-V. I vote for a black CTS-V, by the way.

That is exactly why I probably would not be happy in any car if I sell my SSR. I came to that conclusion once I thought it over. I'm such a loser, I would miss the attention I'm getting. No other car turns head like this one.freezer said:

See that's exactly how I felt. With the Small kids, every time I need to take my wife for a ride in the SSR, we need a babysitter. It sux. Another option would be to sell the BMW and lease the CTS-V. I don't think my wife is gonna go for that though. She wants to save more for retirement (am 38). Like I'm gonna make it to 50...Russr said:I too was taken by the CTS-V and, with the SSR being my 2nd 2-seater (the other being a C5) I sometimes wonder if the CTS-V would be a better 2nd fun vehicle.

Take a very close look at the legroom in the CTS-V. I am 6' and with the seat all the way back there is less than 2" between the driver's seatback and the rear seat bottom. Which means that anyone in the rear seat would need to be an infant. Basically you are looking at a "four door two seater". I'll keep my SSR.

Grundy insurance classification of SSR
SSR General DiscussionI recently applied to Grundy to insure my 2005 SSR, based on input I have read in this forum. I was declined in part because Grundy said the SSR "has no collector status"! I thought that was interesting since I have read several posts on this forum that indicate SSR owners had obtained Grundy...- 9
