Was bumping around for some info earlier at work and found this!..

These are the first pics of the car with out any camofladge. Soooo fucking sexy! It will get the super charged LSA which (from good sources I hear) is coming in at ~ 550+ Hp. I can’t believe how much I love this car. I thought the old CTS v was hot. Dayum! THis car is titties. Here is a link to the gallery.

I think its well worth it, given all the upgrades over the 1st gen v. Hell, the interior alone is worth ~4-5k. And how about an upgraded rear diff that doesn’t hop or go “snap” that’s the other 4-5k in my book. Oh BTW, SCed 6.2 isn’t a bad choise of propulsion either. 😉

Where did you confirm the engine? I have seen nothing difinite yet.  
I would agree its worth the money, but it would be a great deal like the old one in the low 50’s

“There are two schools of thought regarding what engine lurks under that dome. Initially, the assumption was that the CTS-V would get the LS7 from the Corvette Z06. Recent talk seems to favor a supercharged 6.2L V8 making 525 horses or so.”

See ya at the Detroit autoshow?

Connections with in GM. LSA = 6.2L supercharged (similar to that of the LS9 in the ZR1) Built via production line in Mexico, HP = 550+ 😉

Thats what I have “heard” as well, but I have got no confirmation.  
Also why would they need the buldge in the hood unless its getting twin screwed under there.

My problem is that if you watch any of the tuning sessions, you hear no supercharger whine like when the blue devil was tested.
