Please don't flame i know it doesn't belong here but just had to make a comment
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.

yea, the cts-v, with the corvette ZR-1 engine it it......

Detuned ZR1 engine making 556hp

Yep. It's a freaking impressive car.

That will get you in trouble in 4 sec.

No surprise, it is an impresssive car even at the regular trim, nice for DD.

The CTS-V is a monster but too expensive.

I'm in love with the performance, but at odds with the styling - not the shape, but the chrome, and something else. The coupe is much more appealing than the sedan, but I guess that's usually the case.

Love the center mounted exhaust though - that works on that car.

That's something i don't like about GM. To me it cheapness the corvette line.
I've owned vettes when you buy a corvette you want it to be different have something special.

whats next nissian sticking a 3.7 inside of a rouge

Very impressive numbers and car, just not my style.

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. :D

CTS-V is serious business.

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

I guess I have a problem agreeing with this statement. I have never thought of the Vette as an exclusive car. Maybe the Z-0 series, but every other garage in my neighborhood houses one and you see them as often as Mustangs on the street. My Z is more unique than any of the Vettes will be.

It's not your fathers Cadillac, that's for sure. I am looking forward to meeting one in the twistys. As soon as the straight aways show up, its all over.
For the money I'd pony up a little more and grab the GTR, but I am predjudiced against the thought of, being old enough, to consider a caddy. It is nice to see GM competing with Germany, and the world.

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

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.

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

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

GM has been putting detuned Corvette engines in Caddies and Camaros for years

I'm sure we'll see a VQ37VHR in a Murano one of these days

Nah, they just drop in the 5.0L V8 and call it an Infiniti FX50.

the cts-v? What model and year. The latest model has an impressive suspension package thats been over hauled from the previous year. The latest cts-v are in a whole new category of car.

yes, but what do they weigh?

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).

I'm not sure where you live but around Michigan vettes are anything but something different and special, they are about as common as Mustangs and rarely ever turn a head in these parts.

And yeah vette engines in sedans isn't anything new for GM, the impala was the car that got it in the 90's.

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

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.

Not really. The CTS-V is nothing like a corvette. That's like saying a Ford Lightning cheapens the Mustang line-up. Two totally different vehicles.

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