I can imagine that in about 1 year.. you can get one of these monsters at around high 40's...

would be a nice pre-owned car.

But I would not lease or buy one from the dealer.

How about the Z06 or ZR1?

That sounds pretty optimistic at high forties, The way things are now I would not be surprised to see high thirties.

That car at bare ***** might be 59995 but I doubt we see many stickers with that MSRP.

I never thought I'd be interested in an American car...but here is this CTS-V for $59K+ base price MSRP with something like 556 bhp and 551 lb ft of torque driving the rear wheels - sounds like a recipe for driving fun!

I'd consider leasing one for 24-36 months - and I would never say never again...

I knew somone would bring that up as I was writing it.

I think the CTS-V is just more practical.... Just like the E55 vs. SL55

The only way AMG can continue to charge $95k for the new 212 E class AMG is to add turbos and Dual Clutch transmission.

If not I rather take a bmw v8 twin turbo from the upcoming 5 series or CTS-V.

I too think this is going to be the car to get for the price it will be in a year or two.

I just wanted to keep you on your toes.

I agree, Z06 and ZR1 are not everyday cars if you have a family but they would be a blast as the "other car"

If you go to Caddy's website you can't build the V yet but like the GTR when it first hit the website you can pick colors, just go under 360 view.

You hit the nail on the head there, AMG can stick a fork in the N/A 63.
Don't we all need to toss an extra $35K in to our IRAs after last week?
The guys at Breathless claim 700 RWHP out of that Cadi no problem.
