The car has lowering springs and tint now as well, it looks much better now then before, I need to get some new pictures.
Post up the pics of your car with mine. Can you get a sound clip of the exhaust?

Yah, we all seem to be dealing with wheel hop issues. Its not too bad unless you are agressive with launches. There is a TSB out to help with the wheel hop but I'm waiting on the parts from the dealership still.

Want to try an aggressive launch in my (dealer serviced) V and see if it fixed the wheel hop? In my opinion it has but it's always good to get a 2nd opinion.

The Cadillac CTS-V vs. the STS-V

I knew the CTS-V would win hands down, who can afford the STS-V. Don't get me wrong the STS-V is a very nice car, but I don't think their is any car that is worth $77k.

Better car?

It has to be the CTS-V, not that I would play favorites or anything. It always makes me happy as hell everytime I even catch a peek at my baby. I also have an M3, but the rumble from the V can not be matched for the price!

srt-8

The chasis on the 300 is terrible it is very weak and not beefd up enough to handle the power or weight of the srt 8s motor. The frame will warp and the front end begins to sag leaving a large gap in the front bumper. Chrysler knows this but hasnt had a recal. How I know this you ask? I work for a company that laser cuts prototype parts for Chrysler to get there parts ready before they go out to the stamping presses. My source is someone that is directly envolved with the production of the 300s. We had this info about a year ago wheather they have corrected the problem that I dont know. Im not saying the cts v is better God knows it has its problems too but what would you r?ther drive a Dodge or a Cadillac?
