Just stopped to say Hi. Found this site after purchasing an '05 CTS about a month ago. I was looking for information about water pump failures on the 3.6, mine failed 2 weeks after I bought the car. It was covered under warranty, as my CTS was "Certified" and only has 36K on it. Is this a weak are for the 3.6, or was I just lucky? Otherwise I love the car. I traded out of a Mustang GT and was worried I'd miss the power of the V-8 (can't justify the CTS-V), but so for the CTS has "sufficient" power, at least until I can start tweeking things a little. I've never owned a "stock" vehicle, don't see it happening now.

 

Looks like you're going to put your own V after the CTS emblem

 

A little NOS wont hurt ...
