I'm on mobile at the moment but I do have some quick questions.

    When I say that I find myself pushed into a corner where I'm seriously considering a CTS-V, know just how uncomfortable that makes me.

Have you thought about the new S550 Mustang? People seem to be head over heels for the car and you could get a decent one for much less than the price of a CTS-V.

I'm not familiar with the engine. I'll look it up when I'm home tomorrow morning. I wonder what the dollar/hp ratio is. I see your argument about the LS being dated, but I'd half bet part of their popularity is due to price, availability, and widespread aftermarket support. An F1 engine, as an extreme example, could murder the LS series without even trying. The price point of such an engine though, would make it impractical.
