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.

GMs own test drivers have gone 12.0@120+ in a bone stock CTS-V. Expect the LSAs to put down 500-520rw bonestock.

that wasn't a real run.... it was using a VBOX..... cts-v should go 11's stock....

what's the pricing for the new CTS-V?
