Could I beat a 2008 cadillac cts with the 3.7 (RWD)? From the info i've found, it should be a close race. Im a bone stock automatic 2006 pp by the way.

It should be a close race. Ive drove one before and there not slow, but I think you should win.

No. Not a chance in hell, base v6 has 263hp, and the direct injection v6 has 304hp

GTs will have a hard time with the uplevel base CTS, and the CTS-V isn't even out yet.

tranny is a 6 speed auto or manual, and gearing wise would out accelrate you even if it had only 200hp

I am not sure what kind of CTS it was, but I did beat one back when I was n/a. All I had was a Bama performance tune, Steeda cai, and JBA axle back

After doing a little reading, the CTS does 0- 60 in 6 secs and the quarter in the mid to high 14's.
