    When I recently sold my 2011 CTS-V my Son told me to buy a Demon. I told him that it will perform in a straight line but I wanted another Corvette. I opted for a 2016 Z06 3LZ, I don't regret it. I'll bet I could drag that Demon around a track., or in the twistys. My Cadi with the LSA and cold air intake had a screaming supercharger. I do miss it in the LT4 Corvette.
