With a tune, 335s can easily get more than 400hp/400lb ft

i'm not 100% sure why he's asking for our opinion. We are not paying nor driving the car. Buy what you like.

Since I'm Cobb stg1 with fmic, exhaust, and intake. Check out dragtimes. The fastest 335 is 11.1 @ 130ish. Lol.

yeah I don't like to compare MODDED vs STOCK.. it's apples to oranges.. you lose reliability when you mod anyway.. vs a stock CTS-V.

That's why I like the CTS-V. I love Bimmers.. (obviously look at my handle).. but Cadillac did a great job with the CTS-V.

I'd like to get back into bimmers later.. the new M5 is awesome..

Busted boom, what are you doing here? Why arent you running stage 2+?

Have to respect the cts-v's numbers, but I cant get past the styling.

Have stock downpipes so no stg2 for now. The v is def a love or hate thing. But you're right, there's no arguing the numbers. Want the wagon...

I actually like the styling of the CTS-V and the numbers are impressive. Test drive one and that should make your decision easier. Good luck.

I am a partner of Helix 13 so I know the N54 and N55 quite well. Get the CTS-V. I own a V sedan and a CTS wagon. There are some minor refinement issues such as noisy interior but otherwise the car can't be beat.

BTW I live 5 minutes from Atco.

I was going to say something about the interior as well...a little too blingy for my taste, but I test drove one a few months ago and loved it. I tried to race one today in fact, but the older lady wasn't having any of it.
