performance wise im sure the cts-v will be faster in a straight line and you will be able to fit your friends/family in it.

price difference is about 30g's atleast...

hard comparison depends what your needs out of a vehicle are. (obviously fast is one of them)

I've driven alot of cars. Only one Porsche. I have driven two gen 2 V's....and I have never been so impressed with a bone stock car other then my first ride in an 02 Z06 6 or so years ago. These new V's are wicked. Unbelieveable a car thats a 4 door, runs as hard as it does. And the V's I drove were box stock. Imagine one with a tune alone, how it must feel with no torque management.? The car is wicked. I'd do a tune/pulley/airbox/long tubes with high flow cats/and walk almost any typical car you run across.

Incase your wondering, I'm rarely impressed with any vehicle I drive/ride in nowadays. I own and have driven a high powered car, as well as wheeled a multitude of exotics and 1000hp + cars. I'm basing this V off a wide array of cars,.....and I am telling you,...this car, is one of the very most amazing cars I have ever driven.


If that doesn't sell it. 175mph limited in the automatic, stock. 198mph in the bone stock 6 speed CTS-V. Thats the world FASTEST sedan out of the box.

Thats dope as hell.

Regardless of what I think,...drive them both.

Happy hunting.
