I know you're looking at the CTS-V and M5, but ahve you also looked at the new Jaguar XF/XF-R? Everyone is doing comparisons with these 3 cars right now. The new Jag looks pretty nice.

What the "F" are you talking about.
You say you prefer a blown caddy over a "hugh" V10. Well bucky displacement is the name of the game. What is the displacement of the caddy? Screw the # of cylinders.
If you don't get it, comparing FI vs. NA is not normally fair.
btw I'm not kidding. When the M5 gets FI (either TT or SC'er) it will CRUSH that POS old man geriatric caddy CTS-V. That's a perfect car for my 85 y/o father.
As I said before, I'd NEVER buy a gov't motors car on shear principle.

Fortunately the OP hasn't dismissed a very viable choice merely because it's a Cadillac. He's got the right idea, test drive both and judge for himself. I think the Caddy will pleasantly surprise him, even if he ultimately buys something else.

Okay all you caddy lovers. Can your chrome laiden, geriatric looking, will fall apart in 2 years caddy do this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIGej-dAolA
I will even grant you your 650 hp with "$1-2K mods" yeah right.
As Nike says, just do it! Lets see your caddy run a 10.57 sec pass and 130 trap. DO IT!
Stop theoretically talking about it and DO IT. Lets see your 650 plus hp caddy run mid 10's.
To the physicist here talking about what's not possible well this was a 4200 lbs sled running 10's. Many modded 997 TT's are not running mid 10's.
Show me a caddy with all the bolt-ons you want run mid 10's. Short of a built motor come on do it.
We did it here in So. Florida with our M5.
And again to all the comments about purchase price. You can buy a used excellent M5 for $48K. Cheaper than the CTS-V then mod away.
In contrast I would NEVER buy a used GM POS caddy.
So okay I give up. Our slow M5's down here in So. Florida do not stand a chance against GM (gov't or geriatric motors) caddy.
Oh and the M5 has a "big V10" what 5 liters. Whats the caddy's displacement? If the M5 was a 7 or 8 L V10 then I'd say okay you're right it's fair to compare against a SC'er V8 caddy.
Let me give you an example. How would the CTS-V compare against a 7L V8 Z06 or and ACR Viper(8.3L NA motor)? The caddy would be killed.
Oh notice that on the video the M5 ran a Viper and beat it.
Wait until the S85 (V10) motor of the M5/M6 gets FI done. (it's coming baby
) We will make it more than fair.
Very sorry but some of you guys just do not get it.
I only want to seek and achieve the truth. You want a caddy well knock yourself out. I'll keep my M5 for years and your caddy will be a $h!t box in 2 to 3 years.

hi there, i am a huge corvette enthusiest and most of the people that ive seen with vettes usually get a cts as a DD.....i highly respect both cars btw no h8ing here....there is no doubt that the cts-v is faster than the M5 as tested though both cars have a diff. feeling to them...both give you that executive feeling ofcourse....the cts-v has more tq making it "more fun" imo in DD mode...but wen it comes to going all out there is no doubt that it will perform.....though its all to ur personal preference in the end...good luck with ur car hunting

Thanks to everyone for the advice and kind words. The search for a new daily driver has come to an unexpected ending.
I made a deal on a 2002 Porsche GT2. I could not pass the deal up so the M5/CTS-V debate will have to be settled at another time.

Atomic good choice. You've picked a car you can seriously mod if you wish.
Hey "song" guy (or where your name is) you sure sound like an Obama sycophant. Hey buddy I have you pegged.
You better go to your Obama alter get on your knees and pray to your messiah.
Song you need a dose of reality.
