Either Cadillac's claim of the CTSV's total weight is underrated, or the 525HP is overrated. Or both. Something does not add up here. This car should be quicker and faster with that much power with a manual tranny.

I was literally 3 feet away from it at Milan dragway a couple weeks ago. Sorry, but I didnt see it run. I noticed it was different from the standard V because it had gunmetal rims & another badge on the fenders. The one I saw had a M plate.

Traction is the reason. I bet the thing doesnt hook up thru second gear.
