I love my SSR but I saw this Cadillac CTS-V tonight and it's a fine car. What do you think.
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: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
Amen, Freeze - makes up for that Texas thing.freezer said:The CTS-V is a fantastic Sedan. Who wants a sedan? It has power hop and you will need to buy winter tires. If you were a stealth person you would never have bought an SSR in the first place.
:agree Yes lloger I have to say unless you are really needing or wanting tons of HP and or want a 6-speed I wouldn't trade in for an 05 either! (I have to admit I would love to test drive a 6.0 L six speed)lloger said:I wouldn't trade for the '05 for several reasons.

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:snip... If you were a stealth person you would never have bought an SSR in the first place.
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. 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.![]()
