Saw this today on the dyno at Rage-Tek. A 2012 CTS-V with intake only.

Stout *****. Was it an auto?

the more I see these cars on the road the more they are growing on me. Especially the coupe in that dark gray with the black wheels!!!!

Hotrod-Realtor

If I had the coin, I would buy one.

GT-ER

I know of 3 local CTS-V's and the slowest one is quicker than my car...lol. The quickest has over 580whp with no N2O..yikes!

chiromikey

how are the interiors on the 2012's...any better than earlier gen 2 cts-v's?

WhitePano

That car belongs to a good friend of mine, it is automatic. Low miles as well he just picked it up a few months ago so may not be fully broken in yet

RedBullJnky

Yes it's an auto. He said he did the intake last night and was wanting a base line to work off of. His plans were to do the exhaust, pulleys, and tune and nothing more. he was a very cool dude. And the interior was really nice. And Damn, you had to see the paint in person, because that grey was pretty dark in the shade. But in the light you could see ALL the flake in it. It was pretty sweet.

i wonder what will depreciate faster the 2012 CTS-V or the 2012 E63....... hmmmm

SvtAmg

Our cars make roughly 425rwhp/480rwtq stock on a dynojet right? Or am I way off?

RedBullJnky

Some make more and some make less. Mine made 405hp on that same dynojet.

GT-ER

Probably the E63...lol. Most AMG's depreciate like CRAZY!

Look at my sig.

i was a **** hairs away from buying a black diamond edition with the recaro interior . interior was sick but the seats felt very race car like . for a guy 250 lbs its a lil tight but inside was nice .

Crazy awesome car.....but still not a Mercedes. I'm sorry but even though the interior is nice it just doesn't cut it like a Merc and the exterior too. Don't get me wrong it's gorgeous but it doesn't have that "premium look". Great car none-the-less and what awesome power especially from just an intake....nice brake calipers too

LitiGATOR

I made 455 bone stock; 540 with pulley/tune, CAI. It doesn't take much to get these things over 600 whp.

The V is a badass car!

chawkins2001

Hey brotha, from what you've seen, are the auto or sticks quicker at the track?

choppo

If the cts-v only looked better I would use my GM discount and buy one.
The power is great for sure just the body style just does not tickle my fancy.

I like everything about the CTS-V... great power, handling, brakes, exterior is OK, interior a bit overdone... but a great cal.

But I can't see spending $40K to $50k on a used model.. knowing that I can get a used E550 4.6tt in AWD next year for about the same price or even the lighter E550 4.6TT coupe (3800lbs and RWD).

or a BWM 550 4.4TT used.

Just a simple 91 octane tune will be at 450RWHP+ depends what dyno you use... and simple exhaust, intake and 100oct will get close to 500RWHP.

I want a comfortable ride with nice power and nothing too polarizing. The CTS-V usually does that and same for AMG and M cars.

Unless my income doubles in next few years.. I won't be driving another AMG for a while..

4.6TT or 4.4TT engines are more than enough and MPG is added bonus.

Even if 1000hp, I would never drive a Caddi. Rather have a Kia. Have my own reasons. But I do like the 2 door look.

chawkins2001

I have a feeling that PearlPower has a hard on for American Muscle cars

pearlpower

Nope, you could not be further from the truth. I just do not believe in rewarding failure. The new GT500 with 650hp is tempting and the wife and I are searching-still-for a old Camaro RS to restore.

TMC M5

I bought mine used...so it was no $'s in GM's pocket. I can understand doing things on prinicpal but every company has their skeletons in their closet....
