I sold my Evo IX with 13,700 miles on it, on Saturday. I got $28,500 for it with all of its modifications. When it left me it had 338 Whp and 340 Wtq on a Mustang Dyno. I'm now a proud owner of a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V. Since 2006 they now manufacture them with the lighter LS2, instead of the LS6. This lightened it up from the previous 3,800lbs to 3,500lbs. It's a bit more nimble because of this. At least, I think so. The vehicle is built much better than the Evo, it has the same, if not better stock straight-line acceleration. Mine came outfitted with the suspension upgrade, corsa exhaust, as well as a carbon fiber engine dress-up kit. I enjoyed owning the Evo, I may get a X when they come out, or perhaps not. It all depends on how it looks and drives.

 

Sorry to hear you sold your EVO, welcome to the 60^ yr crowd .

 

Will it go around a track as fast as an EVO?

 

That carbon fiber engine dress-up kit would have sold me, too. ;-)

 

what about handling? Acceleration from a roll or dig is better?

 

It get's to Bingo night awful quick.

I love how they sound at WOT(its like a jet engine). It's to bad the're too slow around corners.

 

The CTS-V R does good in SCCA, they won quite a few races with them. I'm not sure, I think it would depend entirely on the driver. The car handles excellent with the upgraded suspension. A lot of turns you can just drift or power-over into, so, it would depend on the track as well.

 

It's a good pimpin' car :}

 

Sorry to bust on ya bro, but that is the only caddy that is worthwhile to me.

 

I'm going to supercharge it and go with the Lingenfelter suspension, so in the end, I think it will be a monster.

 

Funny part is, I have AARP " The Hartford " insurance, through my parents policy. Costs me $87 a month to insure my CTS-V.

 

Not to burst your bubble, but I had a Grassroots motorsports article where they reviewed the Caddy program, and those cars have the shell of the production vehicle in common and not much more. They have won races, but again not applicable to the production vehicles capabilities.
