Yet another review where the new CTS-V beats the E60 M5 in acceleration, cornering and price but the author softens the blow to the BMW fans by saying it's still the 'Ultimate Driving Machine'.

A couple hwy runs (not me):

Nothing soft about those numbers, we can make great cars too

 

Yeah it didn't do to bad 2 lenghts by 160mph?

my srt-8 has eaten CTS-V'S and STS-V'S.. but not the 09.

 

SRT-8s have some great motors, that's for sure. I had a 2005 CTS-V and I have to tell you I never lost to a SRT-8 at the dragstrip or on the hwy. After supercharging, I was beating E60 M5's. Given that the 2004-2007 CTS-V was manual only (and the SRT-8s always automatics) it is possible you would have had closer races with better drivers in the V's. Nice wins either way...

 

Yeah true, it's all variable. I beat 4 other srt-8's with similar mods to me. by about 3 lengths. Maybe my engine just puts more down from the factory. because there have been 350whp-390whp baseline dyno numbers all over the map.
They are all amazing cars!
