Default Traded the CTS V off today

Made the 5 hour drive to trade the V away. Glad to get into something else. The transmission was starting to do it's chug a lug thing again. It was flushed and filled with Mobil and worked for a little while.
TrackHawk did good coming home from Ohio. Got almost 19 on the highway with the cruise. Of course in town when you play you pay. Saw a guy in a Hell Cat and had to tip the throttle a little. Damn this thing has a bark when it shifts gears. Not the tires barking but the exhaust, sounds great.
I think it will take a week to clean the Hawk up with all the damn rain I drove thru.
Trying to figure out all the nannies on it now.

Once the Monsoon weekend ends and I get to clean it up from the trip, I'll post up some pictures. I think I've driven it 10 miles when it hasn't been raining. I've got 322 miles on it and I need to put another 180 on it before it allows the full 707 HP.

Congrats! There was a trackhawk with nitrous and a bunch of stickers from a local nut swinger of a “tuner” who is well known for stealing customer parts, faking cam swaps and just generally selling shit, on it at the Texas mile. Before it grenaded and caught on fire that sucker had the hardest awd launch I’ve ever seen.

They definitely launch well. Just playing now and it is a monster off the line. I can only imagine the name of said low life tuner you are mentioning, bet is starts with an H.
