Looking at the numbers and with the RennTech (based off the website) seems like he's got you by 20hp, but it seems like you make up for it with tq, but the caddy might be lighter.

If you get the tune, then you should also get the Quaife limited slip.

CTS-V is a performance coupe

E550 Cab/Coupe is a sporty coupe..


not sure why you would try to compare.. you would need to upgrade your rims and tires, tune it, put a downpipe and lower your car and have LSD even to compete.

Just enjoy your ride and give your buddy props for a nice ride.

Already did - it's a great car and was on my list when I got the Cab! Tune, rims and tires are on my"eventually" list. For now, I'll just put the top down.

If it concerns you get an AMG, that would get you on par. I just got my C63 AMG (traded a E350Coupe Eurocharged tune) and yes I can tell AMG are
in a different league.... basically a track car. If you are willing to spend that kind of money on mods, consider trading in for an AMG. I got mine below invoice and got high KBB for my E. I was only fishing and MB made a deal that I could not refuse. Doesnt hurt to explore.

Your top goes down. His does not. That is performance the CTS-V can't touch.
