First Cadillac CTS-V performance test published

The CTS-V ran the quarter-mile in a scant 12.5 seconds, besting the 12.7 it takes for either the BMW M5 or the Mercedes E63 AMG. Getting back to a standstill was another hit to the Bimmer and the Benz, with the Caddy stopping from 60-0 mph in 109 feet – five feet less than it takes the M5 and six shorter than the AMG. And if you're thinking that brakes and power are easy to upgrade and that the Cadillac couldn't possibly best the Germans on the handling course, think again: the CTS-V ran the slalom at 71.1 mph, while the M5 and E63 ran it in 68.5 and 65 mph respectively.

Amazing

 

Yeah I love the magnetic suspension that auto-adjusts dampening.

One of these may very well find its way to my garage.

Finally a GM to compare the M5 to

did you read the review?

 

The new CTS-V is engineered and tested at the nurburgring.

 

4300 pound septic tank on wheels. No thanks.

 

Like all other cars in its competing segment it's a piggy. . like the m5.

Not really my thing, but pretty nice for what it is.
