CTS-V are nice and quick but the diff can be a problem if you launch it hard and often. The updated diff helps a lot but it is not perfect. Other than that, not too many issues. My number one complaint is you have to remove the bumper to change a headlight bulb. Horrible design. ---

They had the same diff as the GTO’s correct? I remember a lot of people complaigning about diff whine on the GTO forums but those were also the people that bragged they could spin into 4th, go figure. ---
