Okay. Thank you. I asked my dealer about if the speed limiter could be altered through the computer system and they seemed to know nothing about the ability to do that.

The CTS-V is fast. I haven't raced one in my E55 and wouldn't waste time without quote a bit of modding. Here's a vid of the CTS-V vs a E60 M5. Both are stock.

I believe more then spray as well. Stock vs stock the V will prob edge out out 55's stock but def should be close.

RE: E63 vs. CTS-V
I was out cruising to the bank in the 63 this morning, was stopped at a red light, and a Silver CTS-V pulls next to me. We exchanged glances, and went at it from 5 to just shy of 100. I took him by just over a car length, gradually pulling on him starting in 2nd gear; I think the lead would have continued to grow if we had had more room, my car was clearly a touch faster. CTS-V was auto. I honestly thought he'd take me, the guy looked a bit embarrased and turned off. Guess my E63 is running pretty o.k. in the cooler Fall temps. Certainly made my day.

When I went to the track last friday there was a 09 V that was running about the same *****ty 60' times as me( 2.2 and up) but was running Low 13's at 115mph to my low 12's at 122mph. With traction they are mid-low 12's stock

After the first Kleemann tune we did a dyno run upwards of 190 in 6th gear , Now with the new Jeremy tune and additional Mods im sure the car has some more room . my personal best has been 170 but i got gun shy and let off , On a private course of course lol .
