I'm strangely drawn to the Cadillac CTS-V.
A nice economical and eco-friendly 6.2 litre supercharged V8. ::) putting out 640 BHP and 630 lb ft of twist.
I like the way that it looks so different to anything European.
Only seems to be available in LHD though.

Get it bought lad you know you want to :y
LHD will be handy when you pop down to Cannes for a little winter sun and some local talent ;D

Can't seem to find a price.
STMO once owned a Chevy. ::) I imagine the 'Caddy' would feel much the same on the road. :)

Camaro Z28 if I recall
incorrectly correctly :y

Bit of a nancy hairdressers car to me ::)
Starts at around £75K. Go on get a couple . . . . just as runabouts

;)
And . . . . yes, you do need help

Seems a bargain, what's 75k to a gent of your means :)

You'd look a right tit in that. Behave yourself.

You're right.
I'll buy something dull. What would you suggest?
You seem to have a preference for dreary cars that most people wouldn't be seen dead in. :) ;)

I rather like it. And 650bhp should be enough for it to move you along at an acceptable lick.
Sterring wheel on the wrong side is a bit of an issue though. All that power and no way to overtake anything without risking life and limb :-\
-
Camaro would be my suggestion...
Convertible if you're feeling poncy. Coupé if you're not.

And for the price of the Cadillac, you could have one of each 8)

Certainly a major consideration. :-\ :-\
Personally, I think cars built in the 'British colonies' ::) should have the steering wheel on the correct side.

Al, They may still not be up with the best that Europe can offer, but 'Yank cars' have certainly improved over the years. :y

Makes the current VXR8 look expensive too...
-
Can the chassis handle the power and can it corner?

Seeing as the running gear is VXR8, yes to both... ::)

it does look good though. :y
At least to my eyes it does.

Makes a new Mustang look overpriced and under powered 8)

I like the red and black interior. :y

If you are going to chuck £75k loose change at your late life crisis, go full fat and get a Vette Z06 at £92k. :P 8)

Go on, you know you want to.

IIRC The Z06 held the Nurburgring lap record for a while despite the pushrod V8 engine, if it was RHD then it would be a serious contender for ownership over here.Eclectic is the word you're looking for ;D
