Default Kissing cousins?

I was researching information on the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, and I was surprised to see it shares the same Tremec TR-6060 6 spd transmission that our GT500's have. Makes 556hp with a 0-60 of 3.9 secs. 6.2L supercharged engine.....pretty stout little ride. Kinda like our "luxury" relative, eh?
