      I would if I were able to buy new, I'm not a fan of it. I just didn't understand why I was seeing so many similar ones.

        I think that's part of the "Black Diamond" package

          Some do not share your opinion. I like the way the car looks...even with the "played out" black wheels.

            That's it, I've heard of that.

              Of course. It's good to have diversity. If everyone's cars looked the same that would be boring. Do your thing bro, it's still a badass car. It's just my personal opinion that I don't care for a "murdered out" (such a stupid term) car with black everything. I don't see the point of having such a nice car and blacking it all out to take away from the details of such a nice car. Plus, black wheels always look really dirty, that would drive me insane.

                I hear ya...I am not fond of the juvenile "murdered out" descriptor either. But I do think my car looks perfect with the black wheels...

                I have my car detailed once a week.

                  Tou should bring the V out to the cruise at Denton on the 20th

                  hell to the no.
                  Wont be in town or I would. I've already been a lot of 7.0's without nitrous. I think its a mid 6 second car how it sits when we get some track time, but we'll see.

                  55k for a used one at say 9% (guessing here) versus 63k for a new one at zero percent , the new one would cost the same in the end be be a better value, IMO.
                  Hes already seen mine and raced me I think. That was around 180rw ago I'd like to take another swing

                  Hopefully mid 6's at 108-110mph but we'll see. Thats all speculation. It runs a little over 100mph on boost.

                  FYI guys the auto cars run pretty well for how heavy they are. I've taken down several 550hp Vettes, Fbodies, 600hp Cobras, came out barely on top of a 6xx RW Supra from a roll, etc... This car continues to amaze me, I love it!

                  By the time you are ready to mod yours I will have made every mistake in that book so just get at me lol

                    don't worry, black wheels have always and will always be good looking if done right.

                    Steve said Mustangs were played out back when he didn't have one. Then he went and bought a fox body!

                        Some cars look great with black wheels and some dont, personally I think it depends on the style the owner is going for. I love matte black wheels on a car that is supposed to look race themed or "mean" But its really hard to pull off a classy black wheel combo

                            700ish, I'm down for doing it this weekend, maybe hit kellers or something? Or we can wait a few weeks and let it cool off. Roll or dig?

                              I agree that the "murdered out" look is as queer as a three dollar bill. When it's a factory option on a 09+ CTS-V, not so much.
