Video of me and my buddy doing a couple run on the way home from work.

Very even run, but if the V were to tune it to maximize the intake. It would pick up 40hp+. Not to mention if he does a pulley swap.

TheElite0ne

no doubt.

Sucks a tune/pulley/ported blower snout combo on the CTS-V will net almost 100hp for under $1000 bucks and a set of headers for the 63's only gains about 40-50 and is over $3k

I had a 2011 V before my w212 e63 and if you ran him 0-60 he would kill you.

The torque down low is amazing and frieght train like.

To bad the car rattles like crazy

Get a better tune. The guy was stock with no tune and a passenger and you were even. With a tune and no passenger you should have beat him.

what do you expect when you have a Mercedes vs. GM .

i will take an 11 sec. Mercedes over a 9 sec. GM anyday

SL63AMG

The Fanboyism is strong with this one. I'd personally take a 9second V anyday. You've obviously never been in one.

The CTS had an air intake which is good for at least 20hp so now you have a caddy that is about 575hp versus about 525hp for the C63. About 300 pounds difference and you have even cars. Sounds reasonable to me.
The Caddy does not sound as good as the AMG though.
Damn I miss my car. I am glad it found a great home and it's being used to its full potential

Holy crap

I think it is funny that ppl are comparing a car with a SC to a car without one and stil saying "well if he has a tune and a pulley swap" lol.....ctsv already has a SC! Its not like it has a tiny V8 like the M3....same size motor and u cant pull a few cars with a sc? Fail in my book and that is without the cheap interior even in the discussion

I guess i just look at things differently in term of how the power is made vs how much power can be made...i will take a tie or barley lose to a car with the same size motor with a sc anyday..to me that speaks to just how great my car is engineered vs the other

cool race! hopefully more races at different stages of mods...

The cts-v was 300lbs heavier and also had a passenger. So more like 400+lbs. Both cars are great and I've owned a 10 c63, but I love my Cts-V. The handling and modding capabilities are endless.

I'm running a pulley and tune, It's so nice b/c it's quiet until you wot and all you hear is a screaming supercharger. I catch people off gaurd all the time.

I guess I just look at things differently too.
I think both cars are pretty evenly matched in a straight line stock for stock.
And I'm sure people bought the C for its luxurious interior.
As far as your comment about engineering, despite having an extra 300-400 pounds, the V handles better than the C.

flame on...

Nice video!
That's the fastest V I've seen without NOS!!

kaz109

Ok so i dont understand why they would be evenly match when one car has a SC and the other one doesn't.. both 6.2L motors

Sprint booster would've taken him

CTS-V is a beast of a car, especially the second gen model. But I hate the boxy and tall exterior. It actually looks worse in person.

PistolWhipC63

I 100% agree that the V handles better than my C did. At first I didn't fall into the hype of magnetic ride control, Until my first track day and spirited drive through some twistys. One of the best features GM has ever produced.

Vash

There is no doubt that mods for the V come cheaper. The rest is just subjective.

I looked at the V back when the coupes came out, wasn't for me. The C63 coupe was exactly what I was looking for. Both awesome cars.

kaz109

Funny I remember it being faster in the figure 8 , having a better lateral g and faster lap time then the ctsv.....maybe I am mistaken and it was a E63 not C63
