I doubt that you'd be willing to call the Ferrari 599 GTB less of a driver's car because it has the magnetorheological damper. Which it does. And I doubt that you'd be willing to say that the 599 GTB and the GT-R are the same kind of animals.
It's not just about what kind of components it uses. The GT-R is based around the thought that electronic gizmos will be the main focus of the car. Its ultimate performance depends on computer programming. (As much as I'd love someone to test this theory, I don't think Nissan or any GT-R owner would like to strip the programming out of the car and test it.) I don't think that was the part of the CTS-V's engineering brief. If anything, the CTS-V mostly relies on the sheer power of the engine and the well sorted chassis.
