Mike-
I don't know about you, but axle hop is generally a bad thing- will
kill CVs quickly. Not only that, the axles die relatively easily on
any of the IRS cars with big American torque. I wonder how the MBZs
fare- they're so new and no one really drives them like you would a
Cobra or a CTS-V. I would, but I don't own an E55.

Rather than worry about the CTS-V (which, incidentally, has a pretty
crappy interior for a $50k car), why not just turbo the RX-8, or go
get a triple-rotor Cosmo engine and stick that in there?

I'd only get a CTS-V if it was a couple years old and half price,
that's usually what happens to American cars anyway, all the reason
why I was looking at the C5 hardtop.

Taka
