"It is the world's only 54-degree V6 engine design (most are either 60 or 90 degrees). The CTS V6 is smooth and quiet, and responsive in traffic. However, with only 220 horsepower on tap, not reachable until 6000 rpm, and 218 foot-pounds of torque available at best, it will not thrill any driver who has had previous experience in a German or Japanese V6 of the same displacement."

From a CTS Review.

Even if you have a TL-P, the win should be your's. Go for it.

Is it the v6 or v8 CTS??? The v6 I think is ours, but if it's the V8(especially the CTS V) you will most likely be burned out of the hole. CTS V is top speed of about 168MPH. Watch TOP GEAR and see how well that car handles, it is no longer the American Boat we know of. It rocked the Audi S4 driver as well(straightway and turning!!). Haha, but I don't think your friend has that V series... check if it's a V8 though.

there is also a 3.6 CTS with 255 hp i have driven that one and its no slouch. it would take the tl-p and give teh tl-s a run until around 100 or so. but i can say its a HELLA LOT MORE FUN to drive than the TL

If he has the 3.6L CTS, and you have a TL-P... it'll be a close one. I think I saw times for a 3.6L CTS as 7.0 seconds to 60.

it will take a unmoded tl-p to 100 teh tl after that will take it more than likely
