    Mike, I have had 05 Escalade ESV Platinum for a couple years now and could not be happier. The fuel economy sucks ASS (AWD 6.0l V8), but everything else on it is perfect. Heated/cooled front and rear seats, nav, heated/cooled cupholders, sunroof, dvd player with 2 screens, all the room in the world, seating for 7 and still PLENTY of room for cargo, etc, etc...

    I believe they can be had for under 20k these days.

    Also, the comfort of a massive SUV is an amazing feeling.

    You could also look at the 300c srt8 as they fit your criteria

    Mike one thing you have to remember. Your not a small guy. Nothing against you but a vette would not be very comfortable as a daily. I use to work at a Jeep dealership and the SRT-8's are bad as hell. Get great gas mileage, plenty of pep, one of the best interior's of an SUV, and just a bad ass looking truck. Lightnings are nice, but for something you dont wont to mod, a srt-8 is better. Look into the 05-07 GT's, nice, plenty of pep, open interior, and can be had for around 15k. Also on the GTO's only thing about there rear's is there IRS, which if I remember is almost the same exact design as the vette rear ends.

    I've pretty much made up my mind

    C5 base 6 speed and I'll do I/h/e cam
    c5 z06 with exhaust
    ctsv

    I think for what I want the base c5 fits my needs. It's cheap, I'm gonna mod it anyway so I really don't care about the z06 cam and heads, I don't track the car so brakes off the z06 I could care less about
    I think I can take a base c5 do some mods, wheels and have the perfomance and looks tht I want

    the z06 just adds $5000-6000 in stuff that I really don't see value in when I'm gonna do mild mods anyway

    Love the G8, and if you wanna go luxury and comfortable any Lexus 430 models will do.

    I'm not gonna read through all of this but, I did read the first two pages.

    I would chose the CTS V. The issues with the rear end are well known and they are caused by the sheer amount of wheel hop that they produce. Caddy has since sorted this out and the aftermarket has also solved this as well. So long as you sort out the wheel hop issue its just as good as the vette if not better IMHO

    as far as G8's go ive seen em in the low 20's which im sure you could get em to 20K out the door depending on your credit.
