Have you ever heard of bear hunting? When one is exposed to an open forum, you have to deal with the ignorance that occasionally permeates said forum. This 56 year old opinionated old lady has the audacity to try and press her ignorant views on gun control on me and my son. I just had to laugh it off when I discovered she couldn't even maintain custody of her own daughter and is still most likely just a bitter old woman following her ugly divorce. I actually don't wish her ill will....maybe she should have just learned to shut her mouth. Trust me, I toned down my earlier retort. And now back on topic. Order going in tomorrow for a 2011 CTS-V coupe with Recaro's, sunroof and alcantara option. Best part is I can keep two handguns in the glovebox(loaded) and another in the center console. I may even be able to fit another gun in the door pocket. ;D Rich, you can get the new bolt on supercharger! The owner of our dealership had one put on his CTS-V after we had the prototype come buy for a few weeks. 680 hp anyone? It Dyno'd at 553hp and 561 torque at the rear wheels!!!!! DECENT! lol

Newer model supercharger than what is factory installed? smaller pulleys or new lobe design? Now if they could only get the piggy caddy to shed some weight.

I need one!!!
Hey N8, what have you seen people do with their Chevy Avalanches? I'd love to get a supercharger on mine someday. It's kind of pointless, but I love the truck, and I'm going to have it for a while, but it just needs a good 100 HP more or so.

yuppers, I'm pretty sure it's the same thing as the ZR-1 has on it. I can get the info from work on monday if you'd be interested.

It's kind of pointless, but I love the truck, and I'm going to have it for a while, but it just needs a good 100 HP more or so. whats you engine? 5.3? if it has the Variable valve tech option, you are not going to be able to put anything on it lol I've see a few guys put chargers on their 6.0L's but they can only run about 5-7 pounds boost (about 80-100hp) you could also chip it, cat back high flow mufflers, cold air intake. Little stuff like that adds up real fast. I have a 2011 GMC Sierra with the 4.8L (very good engine BTW) and re-programmed it for another 35hp from the stock 305 hp. I want to do more but it's brand new so I'll hold off for a while. my 86 Regal-T is going to need a good $2000 in parts as well as an alky kit this spring. I'll be pulling low 11's and hopefully 10's in the 1/4 this year running with 24lbs of boost! lol

Yeah, it's a Z66 with 5.3 Vortech. I've never personally done anything with a charger on a 5.3 with the valve tech but I'd imagine with a re-program you'd be able to do it. We've been having a few issues with the 2011 5.3 this year. Nothing major but it's a PITA (it's all electronics). All the other 5.3's and 4.8's from years past are great though.

Yeah, it's an 05, so no problems here. It's been a great truck. If it takes a reprogram, then fine, it would be worth it as long as it remains reliable. I already have a cold air, cat back, and plan on a chip this year maybe. It's got plenty of power, but I do a lot of towing with the quads and dirtbikes up hills, and would love the extra power of a charger. Plus it's just flat out cool lol.

The re-program won't become un-reliable they are good to go, plus you can just hit a switch and turn them off. You should get about 25-35 hp and a mile or 2 more per-gallon! the programmer is about $300 here in Canada so I'd imagine around 250 in the US.

Rich I'll do my best to control my dangerous hobbies! I also wear sound deadening earmuffs when I listen to my Emo gear, Loud music is dangerous you know! ;D I love the LCR! I bought it at the end of the summer, but didn't get time to shoot it until deer season in November. It carries real nice, and shoots even better. Even with the +P's it's real manageable with the short barrel and light weight. I'm still getting used to it as I haven't had as much time with it as I've had with my .44 mag. The trigger pull is real smooth, but it's a double action only. There is no exposed hammer as on my Redhawk. That's not a bad thing; however, I need some time to adjust to the extra pull. With the LCR I'm tending to shoot a little high because I'm used to shooting my .44 single action style. Maybe it's because I'm a Ruger fanboy, but I have nothing bad to say about any of my Rugers! ;D The new LC9 looks like a nice pistol. I've never been a big 9mm kind of guy, but I'd consider that or the SR9c in the future. Right now I'm thinking about stepping out of the box and buying a Springfield Armory XD 45 ACP! It's been hard to keep myself from buying one. By the way my name is Steve, skrainz sounds so dirty I'm not very creative when it comes to screen names! I would have posted back sooner, but my friend stopped by to audition my new ERC-1! Not only am I a Ruger fanboy, I'm a Emo fanboy too and proud of it! ;D

Steve, buy the XD45! I have a 4" inch barrel version with a silver slide and OD green body. I absolutely love it! It's also my carry weapon, and conceals a little better being a 4". I had a Glock 21 before the XD, and the XD beats it in every way IMO. It's very accurate, rock solid build quality and reliability, and it has never jammed or misfired with any type of round(over 9,000 and counting). Highly recommended! It's also quite a bit cheaper than most .45ACPs out there as well.

You guys and your little cap guns. Here's my latest purchase: Figured I'd strap it to the Viper's bubble top roof and (hopefully) scare away any possibility of Rich trying to pass me in his new chick car. ;D ;D ;D Just kidding! SWEET Caddy Rich! CONGRATS!

I love this car... I hate myself for liking it given the aircraft-carriers-turned-Cadillacs that my father would buy in the 1970s , but I have to admit, I really do dig the CTS-V. When I saw a commercial for the stock version and made my comment, ratherwife turned to me and said, "Dude, don't be old..." I don't care... I still want that car... lol ;D

Yeah, my grandparents had a huge caddy. My father likes them and I vowed I'd never get an "old geezer" car. The V's break the mold.

We actually raced one against a 2011 Z06 and it did lose but not by as much as you'd think lol. It's a quick car with lots of performance options to really make it move.
