C mode starts in 2nd gear...... it will be MUCH quicker/faster than the CTS-V, and probably the Viper as well.... might now "feel" as fast as the Viper....
POWER -- Hard to tell at this point, since I'm trying to break it in properly per the owners manual. I'm in "C" mode, and keeping the RPMs and speed variable. Still feels fast, just based on the amount of throttle I'm giving it, but nowhere near the sensation of speed/acceleration that I felt in my CTS-V or my Viper. Probably faster than both, but in a more civilized way.

I would only use the C mode when it is snowy or HEAVY rain, I say would because I never ever take any of my cars out of the S mode since it never snows here in San Diego and the rain is never heavy at all....the statement about C mode starting your car in 2nd gear is true, in S mode that S65 should blow you away under full throttle 
hope it serves you well for years to come.
