Its almost a shame to trade her in

Put the XV manifold back on my Jeep, and its running so smooth. It almost makes me wanna keep her. Nobody wanted this mani, so I swapped it with the Inertia I've had on the truck, since I can sell that no problem. Its running so much better with this mani. Sure, theres a serious loss of low end power, but it still pulls better then most cars on the road. Not to mention it just looks so much cooler then the stock barrel.

I'm going up to the dealer on Sunday. If they're willing to make a deal, I'll buy the V. Its not new though. 2009 w/ 16k on it. I can't touch a new one. Trying to get my payments down, not way up. ;)

As far as the intake gasket leak goes, I have no intake gaskets at all. I'm running the Thermalnator spacers and they said to run them without gaskets since they sorta act as gaskets. A leak would not surprise me in the least.

Was so close to making a deal on a new 2011 V sedan Black Diamond edition. And then they lowballed me on the Jeep and killed the deal. She's gotta go back to almost stock. Thats the second lowball this weekend on her.

The deal is as good as done. 2011 CTS-V Sedan, Black Diamond edition, Automatic, every option. Getting it for Invoice. Don't have a firm value on the Jeep yet, but they guarantee it won't be less then $30k. Gotta drive up to Hartford tomorrow or Saturday to sign off on it. :twisted:

Let the games begin.........

InTune Beta section? I don't think I have access to that. I saw that you were looking for cars with certain GM computers in the Cars Wanted section.

You'll love it even more once you get a taste of Johans trans tune, it is truly a thing of beauty.
