CTSV w/ the LS6. I want! I’ve been into them since they were just a rumor. They’re only a tick slower than a Z06 around Nurburgring which is a very long course so that’s amazing for a 3800# car.

yeah i like the CTS-V too… the only bad thing i read was there are some quality issues in the drivetrain that makes it a little inferior to its compitition…(M’s, S’s, etc…) ---

The engine and tranny are the LS6 straight out of the Z06 and the MN6 (at least that’s what cad’s site says, I would have figured it’d use the Z06 M12) which are generally loved by the mags. -TJ ---

here is the info…don’t know how true it is…i’m just relaying info “Cadillac failed to engineer the the vehicle to handle the additional torsional loading of the new engine. The suspension mounting points, the suspension members or the frame itself is flexing under the strees of th engine and tire combo. Frying the clutch and rubber eliminates the torque demands on the suspension & frame, whiel subjecting other components of the vehicle to a lot of premature wear.” I guess it was just a reliability issue…but still a concern. I still like the car…and if i had money to burn…i would pick one up. ---
