Default Upgraded to a GT/CS

So I traded in my Alloy V6 for a Black GT/CS. What a difference!

The trade:
07 V6 Alloy with 10,000 miles 14,500 (stock with Pony Package)
07 GT/CS with 18,000 miles 21,900 (Magnaflow exhaust - K&L CAI - Full loaded)

Can anyone give me more info on the CS? Is there a place where I can put the VIN number in to see what the car came with stock?

The Old V6


New Black GT/CS

I don't know of any website that does that, but a CS is no different then a GT other then appearance mods. GT appearance package plus a CS front/rear bumper and 18" wheels.

That does not appear to be the stock exhaust. Side scoops are stock. Hood scoop is stock but part of an appearance package.

+1 also the muff tips are a little different on the GT/CS 3 1/2" vs 3" on the GT. Oh and the GT/CS stripes...which on a black model should just be removed. You can't really see them.

Yes they are flowmasters I think. I forget to mention that and it also came with a K&B CAI.

Feels like the gears have been upgraded also. Just way to smooth and you can catch somewhere around 70-80 in third. It appears to be lowered a bit then my V6. Maybe an inch or so.

The ride height on your GT/CS looks stock. I don't think it was lowered. Maybe it's an illusion from your V6 having lower profile tires?

Now, get rid of the K&N and put a Steeda CAI + tune. You'll be more than amazed.

Oh yeah I forgot about the side scoops on the CS (at work and can't see pics ), as for gear it probably has 3.55, I think those are still in option w/ the CS and not standard over the 3.31.

3.55 gears were a $100 ($150?) option on '07's. If you have 3.55 gears, at 2000 RPM in 4th gear your speedo should show about 45 mph. At 3000 should show 67. With 3.31 gears, those numbers will be around 48 and 72.

I like the look of the subtle stripes!
