Obviously, the important thing is YOU like it.

It is a beautiful car.

It would be interesting to know the top 3 differences between the caddy and the vette, from your point of view.

Craig, like your new CTS. What engine does it have? Any mods? According to Dave from ESP, the one Nino and I saw there had trouble keeping the tires on the pavement. You may need better tires.

They are very different cars, but the CTS Couple is something like a grown up luxurious vette with more creature comforts but less performance.

The handling of the coupe is very very good and the ride is correspondingly firm but not as firm as the vette. It is and it feels much heavier also.

A big difference for me is being able to drive it year around, basically
I have been driving a beater in the winters to be able to afford to drive the vette in the nice weather months.
It is also much more confortable, although the vette was good too.

It's not a "V" so it only has a 3.6L 318hp engine, but still has plenty of power. The gas mileage is about the same for both cars, 20-21 around town and 27-28 on the highway.

I am still getting used to it and so far I love it!

Do I miss the Corvette? yes!!!! but I can't have both
It's kind of like a beautiful woman.....I can only have one!
