09 CTS*V 12.5 115 Trap
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=131106
not bad.. pretty much a solid performance..
usually Edmunds is a tad slower than other mags.. won't be surprised under the right elevation, temperatures and conditions....
would be low 12's with 116+
not sure if it will catch up to the M5 on the illegal speeds of 125+
but it does have a 6sp and torque is on the higher rpm side..
notice the 0-60 times are pretty much due to traction I should suspect.. (those of you that still care about 0-60)
in my book 0-60 is a worthless measure... once you have over 500 hp and torque. atleast 80 or higher.

here is another new article keeping up with the king of the twisties.. M5
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6963
not bad for a "american car that can't turn".... according to some German Car owners.
The article does say that the M5 could probably do a bit better and could probably edge it the CTS-V... but the fact it runs neck and neck is a nice feat.
However those drivers are professional and most of us around probably will never be able to get to drive cars that well..
in real world application.. it would be hard to keep up with the Caddy, with so much torque and agility.
