question about the caddy CTS

I have a friend who his dad has a new CTS and he acts like it will kill everything .I think it's semi-fast(like the last series of Tarsus SHO) but he said once i get my CL-S 6 speed he'll me like some cheap weed. I don't think so.

but i heard the 03s they put on a turbo or something I don't really know cause I don't keep up with caddy

CLS should walk away from the CTS without a problem.

That'd be interesting to see if they did that. I doubt GM anytime in the near future will be looking to do anything like that though.

They're gonna dump the 5.7 V8 in the CTS. You will be able to get the six or the eight. The six you will mop, the eight will mop you.

yup!

the CTS really isnt fast at all. They never gave it its full potential, hopefully they'll offer some engine upgrades, and not just talk about them.

The CTS would be no problem for the CLS, unless you cant drive worth nothin', rest asured, youl beat him!


I;ve raced plaent of CTSs, and they cant even keep up with my ETC...

Yep, they're going to put in an LS1 motor, possibly the LS6 from the Z06 Vette(I doubt it). They will offer with a 6 speed manual, and the target competition is the BMW M5. With that being said, it should be pretty pricey. The base will get more HP as well.

You should not have any problems with the current CTS though, except maybe in the twisties. Caddy really did a good job on the suspension, RWD doesn't hurt either.

Thats awesome to hear that GM wants to get into the market with the M5 and cars like that (even though nothing will top the M5). Too bad the CTS looks nothing like an M5....maybe Lutz over at GM should work on a new body...
