2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe 0-60 in 3.9 sec! Does anyone know what engine GM is
putting in it. It hasn't been that long when 0-60 in under 6 sec was the benchmark. i'll be more care with the next 4 door i mess with. just kidding safety
first.

Just a couple weeks ago, I had one sitting in front of me at the light on this long straight road my home is on (sort of heading out to the country.) I could see him looking in his rear view mirror at my Z behind him... the light turned green and I swear to god, he was gone before I ever had the chance to START to accelerate. And it was LOUD too! Crazy fast..and it was a Cadillac CTS-V (from what I researched!) I was floored. (meaning, I was..not my car. LOL!)

I'm not sure what my 0-60 time is now on the GL..but it seems right around 1.2 minutes.

CTS-V is serious business.

waiting to see the CTS-V WAGON! now that will be something sick

These things are pretty wild. Didn't the last CTS-V set the fastest Ring time for a sedan?

ChrisSlicks · 10-01-2010, 04:00 PM

They go fast, just don't try to auto-x one. We've had a few try but they usually go home with their head hung low after getting spanked by just about every car there.

4,300 Pounds. lol. For a road car, its beastly. You can't really compare this car to our Zs, corvette, or GTR. Now if you compare it to similar cars of class such as M5/M6 or C63 it really gives those cars a run for the money.

We've had everything from '05 to '10, doesn't matter they weigh 5 million pounds and the chassis cant respond to quick changes in direction. Around a track it wouldn't be bad as you can set the car in a direction and it will go (with crying tires).

Cannot get over the Coupe's styling, it's horrendous. Now the V Estate and Sedan are awesome.

jaedub · 10-01-2010, 04:33 PM

for the price of the cts-v, i'd rather get a GTR

90 ST · 10-01-2010, 08:23 PM

Yeah my buddy has a CTS-V, with a stick, quick in a straight line, but thats about it, too heavy to throw around...

ProfessorDave · 10-01-2010, 08:42 PM

Saw one today. Old dude (well, older than me) driving. I mean swerving.

+1 for impressed by the performance, but can't see myself in a "caddy". When I grew up, caddy meant "loaded buick". And "loaded buick" was just one click away from "herse".

I have a friend who drives a modified G35 sedan and test drove a CTS-V, fell in love with it. Is presently saving up for a used one.

I agree that if sharing an engine family cheapens a car line then a lot of companies are screwed.
