Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

if those numbers are true-yea, it will be in another world--although it doesnt look like it has enough rubber to support that kind of power on the back tires.

Insane power, and it's a sleeper too. The CTS has charmed many journalists to I bet this will be one hell of a ride, perhaps America's new sweet heart??

Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

I like everything except the chrome grill. The interior detailing reminds me of the DBS interior. I wish the ZR1 had a similar quality interior instead of the crappy one it has. Is a manual transmission an option? I hope so, since they could easily use the one in Z06/ZR1.

+1 that interior is beautiful. I am a german car lover, however in design asthetics, this tops many if not all of its rivals.

Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

I like the car all in all, however the grille isnt working for me so i decided to make a different front bumber to suit the grille. I also made quad exhaust to make the car more muscular and made the wheels bigger >

Front (origonal/mod)


Rear (original/mod):

Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

Uh oh....another shot from Cadillac. Finally Cadillac has introduced a car that has it over the competition in hp and is more than merely "competitive" in terms of power. This car totally overpowers the C63, M3, IS-F, and RS4....and even the mid-level cars. Now it is up to the Audi RS6 sedan when it debuts to answer the challenge, for now.

Re: New CTS-V: 550 HP Supercharged V8

I wonder how it will compare with the RS6. It is obvious it will be faster than the M5 (at least in a straight line). I also like the interior a lot, I think it is the best in class, even better than the Audi one. Cadillac really has a world beater here.
