GTP to CTSV Full Chassis Swap

[crzystve42]

Ive been doing some research and the GTP and CTSV have almost the same dimensions. I want my GTP to be a rwd, manual V8 like they should have built it, so this seems to be the easiest option. I know itll cost a bit so money is already considered. I talked to one shop already and they said it would cost between 20-30k for having to redo the whole underframe and chassis. I feel like if I got a wrecked CTS, made sure the chassis was straight and fit it to work on the GTP it would be a lot cheaper. Any suggestions?

Good luck

talk about custom...im sure you will catch crap on here for it but if it came together nicely in the end that would be friggin beyond awesome

Neat idea. but why not take the 20-30 grand and put it towards a ctsv...

Maybe if it was a two door GTP? You should also look at Monte Carlo's if you want a do a two door.

Monte's should have been RWD too!

For the cost, just go buy a CTS-V, first gens are going for under 20k now.
