I enjoy how light the Mustang is. The CTS-V is badass, but it's a battleship at well over 4,000lbs. If you want to go GM, I'd put a C6 at the top of your dream list rather than a Caddy, if you really enjoy a fun drive. Not to say the CTS-V isn't fun, but the curb weight to me would seem lumbering after a while. I often ride in my friend's Hemi-powered Dodge truck and the sheer weight is just unpleasant. Even the Hemi always feels like it's struggling to move.

I have the same problem with the newer Mustangs and Camaros... not saying I wouldn't take one, but it would be a learning curve to get used to the lumbering weight, and I'd miss the lighter weight. I think the over-equipped new models are a mistake on the part of both GM and Ford. Maybe it's time for another "Mustang II" with a light weight, short-length frame and minimal equipment? Nav system? If you're a lame moron who cannot use a map, sure. I'd rather have a good regular-a** stereo. Sound deadening? Why? I bought a muscle car, I want to hear it.

Anyway, nice looking car you're selling there. The next owner will love it!

Tuned ECM/TCM, CAI, Efans and 160deg thermostat will be here today. that should put me in the low 13's. With this money one idea is built trans, converter, long tubes and a cam. Not sure what I'll do yet.
That trailblazer ss is 4500+lbs a bit less than 5000 i hate that we traded ours in bc it ran a 14.4 bone stock with crap in the back and me leaving from idle. good luck and build that beast up.
