theblue Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'd love to see these in the series, but I just don't see how they could be competitive in any way. Why wouldn't you you CTS every time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think the CTS does have a major advantage. 300 ish lbs lighter out of the box, smaller, better front suspension setup (Dual A-Arm on the CTS versus a modified McPherson strut on the G8) Factory manual, and the same engine. The G8 Does have almost 3 gallons of fuel advantage.  I just did a little internet digging and realized the V6 G8 could not be optioned with a limited slip either... 9 minutes ago, wvumtnbkr said: 25 pt hit for trans swap. Unless you mean it would actually be a 100 pt hit for losing the 75 pt modifier from going from auto to manual.   Ah yes, thanks for the correction. That was a bad quote from memory of the Pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
