Has anyone run into a Cadillac CTS-V ever?? well at least one thats willing to race. my uncle is thinking about trading in his regular CTS for one and ive heard theyre fast as hell..... actually ive seen one stay dead even to 5th gear with an '02 WS6 trans-am..... just wondering cus ive heard theyre badass

 

they are pretty quick for what it is. I think they are mid to low 13 second cars.

 

Yeah, I recently raced one on the highway. An old man wearing a beenie cap and smoking a cigar was driving the CTS-V. He looked something like the Penguin on Bat Man -- but not quite. I was going about 75 at the time on the Long Island Expressway going toward the Mid Town Tunnel which goes into NYC. Out of no where, the old man ran up on my bumper. I looked in the rear view mirror and he was puffing away on a fat cigar. He then floored it. The engine was not loud but did sound robust. It lunged out with authority and moved passed me surprisingly well. I never expected acceleration as that out of that type car. Only a supercharged engine can run like that up top. I mean, It passed me so easily. Of course, I went after him but he was already out there a good way. I made up some ground on him but begrudgingly. Never did quite catch up -- but no doubt was moving up on him. I broke off near the last exit before the tunnel.

Never thought I'd see a Caddy run like that. So much power. All that comfort. I Never thought high HP and a soft, cushy suspension would mix. But they I guess they do. I don't know much about the CTS-V but I will tell you this: it ran like it had 400 to the wheels. No question.

 

they are easy 13 sec cars with a bad driver

 

it has 400 to the cracnk. basically a four door Z06. totally badass. it would make a perfect sleeper IMO

 

yea... ive heard there pretty crazy.... theyve got a 469 hp STS-V and a 440 hp XLR-V too..... both post about the same numbers as the CTS-V, maybe a little quicker..... i think Cadillac hit the nail on the head with these cars.... ive heard the '07 Escalades with the 403 hp 6.2 (?) liter engine haul pretty well for an SUV....

 

we rented an 06 escalade and it hauled ***.. litteraly

you could watch the front end lift at full throttle

must have had atleast 400+ ft/lbs torque

that thing moved

 

never ran one, but the CTS-V is def a sweet *** car.

 

like 421 lb ft or something.... i think they look awesome too....

 

never ran one myslef but a friend of mine with a 125 shot 04GT did. his best time was 11.9@113 in the GT. from 60-140 it was even race then the CTS-V pulling slowly and it was stock. to make it worse he said the driver was a 60 yr old man, haha
