Yea right......

My friend got his CTS-V last week and I am very impressed with it. The exterior looks real good. I like what they did with the mesh on the grill and front diffuser. The brakes on the car are HUGE. Overall, it makes the CTS look real mean. The interior is improved too with some minor touches. The G senor on the instrument cluster is a real neat feature. My friend already pulled .8 g's You can play DVD movies in the Navi system when the car is parked, which is kinda cool. The car has 300 miles on it, so next week I will let you guys know the most important thing, how the car drives.

 

I love that car, wish i could afford it...

 

any pics bro...

 

Not too many customer car photos floating around, but this guy took a few shots of his after installing a spoiler.

Nice car, the price is very fair as well.....assuming you can get one for MSRP.

Rear brakes are funny, they're huge.

 

M3 can be had for about the same price. the CTS-V still lost in comparison to the M3 and M5 in a shootout bewtween the 3 cars.
I am not knocking it though, good job Cadillac.

 

Well, I'm not saying I would trade my M3 for a CTS-V. Tell you one thing though, would get a CTS-V over a B6 S4 any day of the week.

 

good car, but i can't stand its interior

 

Great car but why would u get it over a M3 or C32 AMG? or the new C55 AMG

 

Ill get some tomorrow....As for the M3/M5 comparison, the C&D car had a bum tire. The CTSV should be able to post better lap times than the M3. I guess we will see over the summer because my friend plans to use it as a "track" car.

I personally would have a hard time choosing a car like this. I wouldnt be able to pass up the LS6, but love the M3 interior.

BTW....Every night I come home from the gym my friend follows me home in the V. My car is in the shop and I have an Altima, so I nail it and try to mess with him. I wanna see him get on it, but he has some major restraint.

 

I wouldn't. The thing is damn ugly. Embarassing.

 

Nice Car but S4 and all wheel drive over it any day of the week. Like the interior but just can't get used to caddy's new edgy styling. I hate it

 

I really like the CTS-V... For those of you that say it looks horrible, it really does look much better in person. The changes made to the CTS-V over the regular CTS are subtle but make the car look much better.

I'd take this over an S4 or C32 any day of the week. Taking it over an M3 would be a more difficult decision though

 

and what's the story with the six-bolt lug pattern?

 

I like it but would still prefer the M3 and possibly the S4.

 

This car is easily the best buy in its class.

C&D did their road test up against the S4, M3 & C32. Held its own against all 3. Except on the skidpad.

 

sorry! I never liked Cadys. I'll stick with the M3 and M5. These will be my next two cars.

 

Cant wait to see them RUN. Did they test 1/4 mile. I would think it would be somewhere in the 12s? I will know soon. A few guys on the z06 boards are buying it for a Daily driver, and taking it straight to the track.

LS6!

 

i like the ctsV alot


this girl i know has a reg cts, black w/dark tints...very sexy imo

 

according to road and track, 13.4 @ 109.0, it's trapping a lot higher than the M3, which is around 106mph, so they may have had traction problems on the launch

 

How much does the cts-v weigh?

I would think it should trap higher too. We'll see....

 

Heavy....3847 curb weight.

 

the car is ugle in and out, its just got lots of power...

i hope i dont run into one and mistake it for a regular cts

 

hmm interesting comparison

i think both m3 and the ctsV are equivalent in terms of performance for all but the 1% of people that xcross their cars etc, but id still get an m3 if only for the beauty....the ctsV isnt ugly, but an m3 is an m3...presence incarnate

 

What the hell happened!?

What a pig.

Choosing btw those cars id pick the m3 also.

 

These small V8 super sedans are just heavy as shit. The S4 has AWD and that also tips the scales at about 3850 pounds.

For comparison purposes the E39 M5 (which is a bigger car of course) has a 4024 curb weight.

 

How much does the m3 weigh?

I heard somewhere it was 36xx.
But, I couldve sworn it was 34xx.

 

Coupe is 3415, Cab is 3781

 

the ammount of mods that will be and that already are available is outrageous.

 

Hell yeah man. Throw on a heads and cam setup on that ls6 in the cts-v your putting down 500+rwhp.
:P

 

THAT! I would love to see.

 

maybe no ls6, but its fast.

close

 

more pics

 

here one with new shoes.
I was trying to find the racing car one, but...

 

nice, but thats not the CTS-V

 

I dont think this car competes with any of the cars mentioned really. If youre in the market for a German performance sedan, you wont even be looking at this car. I give GM credit for stuffing a monster motor in this size car and apparently getting the chassis fairly close. They are never going to copy an M or an AMG for pure handling prowess, so they've done exactly what they are decent at, big power and decent chassis at a fairly reasonable price, and did it pretty well for a first try, from all the reviews.

 

From all the AMG cars I have driven or read about, the handling leaves a lot to be desired.

 

the z06 which is in the m3 and c32 amg price class HANDLES much better than both.

 

i think it looks nice..
