Check it out, can't wait till I see the results of the race version.

And they liked it! take that Germany an American contender in the midst

That 'Vette pushrod motor just keeps on giving, with a seamless flow of thrust accompanied by a distinctly Detroit-ish exhaust growl. Owners of BMW M3s and M5s, Audi S4s and 'Benz E55s take note; this particular Cadillac is no dodderer heading for the country club. With half a chance it'll give you a bloody good hiding.

Gotta love that LS-1!!

That's cool, good to hear it's living up to the expectations.I would have expected the euro magazines to trash it.Sounds encouraging.

The Corvette Z06's 5.7-litre LS6 V8 is under the hood of the CTS-V, so I love it.

Looks promising but I really don't see it being a remote success outside of the US simply because of the brand etc. Corvette is a classic example - yes its fast and cheap (comparatively) but it just doesn't sell over here. Does anybody know if there will be a right hand drive version?

Cool, glad they liked it...but how well it do against the '05/'06 M5 with a 500+hp V10...

[Schwalbe]

If Cadillac want to compete the upcoming new M5, GM have a full range of motors to do that.

They can put the new LS2 engine with 430-460 hp or the future LS7 who is going to be pushing above 550 hp.

I saw this car at the Washington Autoshow and it has "daily driver" written all over it. I loved it.
