i also like the look of the new caddies, but lets be honest, theyre not a real threat to people who are actually into performance cars.
Alot of people said the same thing about the E55 AMG...LOL

I really like it, but the price tag is retarded.
How is it retarded?

You can call $70,000-$80,000 a good price all you want, but you could get an SRT-10 or Z06 for that. I'd much rather have one of those coupes. So yeah, price tag is retarded. I'm pretty sure you could grab an SRT-8 300C and spank the Caddy for less money overall after modding.

*GASP* Now you're using my Corvette argument against the Viper...... you flip flopper!!!!

The CTS-V is a street legal racing version of the CTS, and will be priced around $51-55k. Now, I agree that its a bit pricey, but for a supercharged V8 pushing 550/550 out of the motor, you cant find that performance in its class for that price. Nothing Dodge/Chrysler has is in the same class. Sorry, but the 300C is not a luxury sedan.

Sure, you could grab an SRT-8 300C, but the amount of modding that would have to go into it would be substantial. We're talking about a 4dr sedan that could run almost the same times as a Viper in the 1/4 mile STOCK....

Remember, not everyone wants a coupe that feels like a coffin either.....and they are getting ready to release a coupe version of the CTS soon, possibly as early as late 2009...

Good point, the 03-07 SRT's drop in price fast.

55k. Now, I agree that its a bit pricey
You're off your rocker grandpa! 55k is a great price, it just has friendly competition...

Derrick, you couldn't make me dislike the Viper even if Honda made it. It's just that sexy.

It's like holding delicious gourmet chocolate in front of a woman and telling her, "No, you can't have this! It's too appealingyou cheap *****!"
