This popped up on CarMax. I like CarMax because of no B.S. The price is the price. No hidden $10k in paint protection, their back office fees, or other bullshit they don't advertise when they list a price. I know Hellcats have been my primary focus, but CTS-V's have been and are also on my list...

It has the Recaro's and sunroof. My two things I want. I love the color too.

It's also a few grand cheaper than a Hellcat I have on the radar. I am sure insurance isn't as killer because people aren't stealing CTS-V's left and right and I probably won't hoon as much in this vs. a Hellcat, so I won't be replacing rear tires as quickly. :D

So... Not sure how to really explain this. I love the V. It's actually pretty flipping quick, has a capable chassis, great brakes, etc, etc. But the car has no hooligan'ism in it. It just wants to go and is all business. Even in competition driving mode, it only allows for just enough wheel slip to launch the car. I cannot hoon the tires at all (unless I crawl under the rear and disconnect the wheel speed sensors). Anything off center, the stability control reels right in. It just goes. Then you look down and you're doing felonious speeds. :D It's quiet inside. Like vault quiet. It's refined. All those things are nice. But I miss the "youthful exuberance" of a car like the Hellcat. It's loud, brash, and a giant middle finger to the establishment. I like the way the 'cat sits, with it's widebody flares, 20x11 wheels, yada, yada...

Regardless of which I go with, the problem is the Wife (as you know.. We've discussed via PM).

Stroking this and having an argument with the spousal unit right now... Need to soften her up a little. :D

Color: Octane Red
Mileage: 26k

I am stroking because they aren't putting this in the ad, but this VIN# comes back as quick order package 2BZ... I.E. a Hellcat Redeye. That means 797HP!

Problem is, you checked with the spouse instead taking your trade(s) over and making a deal.
