i Give you, the CTS V

Let me first say. i got the previladge of riding in this car, a good friend of mine has one as a dealership demo (its their dealership). and the way this car pulls is just absolotly redicoulus. i have never experienced so much torque in my life. this is a very fast car.

This is basically a luxery CTS with a Corvette engine in it and huge breaks. this has become my new dream car. i am absolotly in love.

5.7L LS6 V8 OHV high performance, (400 hp @ 6000 rpm, 395 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm)

Wow, GM did something right. This car might be worth all of the inevitable electrical problems and being on a first name basis with my dealership's service manager.

ROCKET JOCKEY has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Its funny, you guys are so brainwashed . I live in Germany, and a cadillac is considered automotive perfection , espeacially the new Caddy's . Its a great car and competes and some time exceeds the German Super cars for about 20,000 less . In short you may not like the styling, but you can not say the car is not put together well , and you cant deny it has awesome peformance .

yeah thats why they are winning all of the SCCA races, get informed dude. Any for all of you comparing it to the M, AMG, or AUDI, just remember that ANYTHING that will make a new vette, 02+ V8 Fbody or GTO's engine more powerful will probably work on this car too (supercharger, internals) Lingenfelter already makes one with a 427!

Its the LS6. Its the shittiest GM engine ever built. Long term problems is what it causes. GM even wanted to pull back on production of the LS6 because of how crappy it got to be. Now the LS4, yum. That engine was saaaweeeeet.

Abe: Didn't Mary Eve say that car had issues? I think it went back to the shop the morning after they first brought it out. It's having problems cuz they mass produce the thing. They never used to make it for more than the Vette but now it's showing up all over the place like the retarded HEMI engines.

Domestic Mass Production = s.hit
