Question CTS-V , Thoughts ?

Hello Gentlemen ,
I was in chevy dealer today early and i saw a beautiful black Cadillac CTS-V fully
Loaded with light gray interior ( don't know what they call it ) , i already want to search for a 997TT but this black Caddy changed my Mind , Tomorrow i will go to the dealer and see if we can make a fair deal. So what you guys think ??
18 HOURS LIFT , TIK TAK TOK .

After driving many vehicles in my lifetime,..I think the 2nd gen V series(09 and up) is by far one of the greatest cars of these times. It's a very well thought out platform, that does well with excepting mods. Even stock, it's great...but modded,...they respond so well. Truly a great car.

Drove my friends several times and it's far from perfect IMO. Depends on what/how you're using it. Tough to compare a 997TT to CTS-V, but they are both fast. If you are talking 2011+ Turbo then top 3 fastest cars in the world vs. Caddy way out of the money. Panamera Turbo is pricey & homely but will leave the CTS-V for dead. Caddy gives you a lot for the $ vs. others...

As Red Devil said, it's not perfect, but it sure is a heck of a ride. I drive my in-laws' everytime I get a chance, and I always walk away with a smile.

Appearance is nice, ride is nice, handling is really good, brakes and power...le whoa!

I feel it's an awesome car, especially for the money.

best daily car for the money - I own a 2010 V and it is the best daily driver I've had (Range Rover, CL55, 911, G500, etc).

I decided to look into this statement some and came up with Nuremberg times.....3 seconds is hardly leaving a car for dead around such a large track. Agreed that it gives a LOT for the $ since its half the price!

In fact, it beat both of our cars at the ring and was only 2 seconds back from a 997 TT

Now.....how about that CTS-V wagon for a daily driver....now to convince the wife!

I never thought I would own a caddy........but I am very pleased with this one so far. I'm coming from a modded C6Z06 so this V is waiting for new headers, exhaust, pulley, etc. to come in. I also have Forgeline GA3R wheels being made with a centerlock option. Gonna be fun with ~650hp on tap

They're fantastic cars. I was a fan of the 1st gens, but the 2nd gen took it to a whole different level.

When I'm WOT in 3rd and a mildly modded CTS-V stays next to me, that's an impressive car. Then to think he has A/C seats, a better track suspension system, a more comfortable suspension setting, 4 doors and possibly the best interior GM has ever offered (OK Not saying a lot)... I've thought of trading the car in.

Great daily and by far the best bang for the buck in 4 door sedans with pep.

I own quite a few toys, and my '09 CTS-V is one of my favorites of all time. It does everything well. I added a crank pulley and cold air intake and the car makes 550 rwhp now. It has humiliated plenty of challengers on the highway.

would love to see a new stock V race a new stock turbo panamera from a roll on the highway.....i have a strong feeling politics is at play when they say the panamera is faster.

I have driven both....the V feels faster, and has trapped a higher MPH in the 1/4
