Mallett, Hennessey or??
Ok I am in my 40's and like most when I saw articles about these cars I couldn't afford them. Now at a time in my life that I fortunately can. I hate buying new cars and love buying the cars I dreamed of. I have bought just about every car on my bucket list and now want a Tuner GM car.
I am no stranger to high performance cars and have had everything from 10sec street cars to Dinan stroker M5 as daily transport. I love rare fast cars.
Ok question is what is the deal with these Mallett CTSV's? Are they as fast and nimble as described? I always see one in SD Craigslist but it has LS2 which seams wrong for 2005?
Anybody have real life experience with a Callaway, Mallet or Hennessy family hauler? No Corvettes I have had plenty. Ctsv's. Suburbans. Impala SS?
Real life experiences with any??? How do they hold up against todays HP 4drs or SUV'S??? I have had a lot of high end German cars but want there tightness with US torque.
Thanks and hope you get question?

I don't have experience with those particular cars, but I do believe that 2005 was the first production year for the LS2. Prior to that, the Corvette Z06 (and presumably by extension, the CTS-V) was equipped with the LS6/T-56. If memory serves, the LS7 (6th Gen Z06) didn't come out till after the LS3 came out in 2008-ish (?).

How about a Trailblazer SS? LS2 and solid platform to build on. There are some mean ones out there.
