If you took out the magnetic shocks from the CTS-V (or the FE3 Corvette for that matter) and replaced them with stock stiff shocks off the shelf, like Corvette owners do (the FE3/FE4 guys simply put in non-adjustable C6 Z51 or Z06 shocks) the car will still be as quick.
That is the point.
If you took out the all the electronic power distribution and handling managment from the GT-R, and just left it as a 3900lb top heavy boat with only 480bhp it would not be as fast as it currently is.
Period.

The CTS-V is 4200lbs, 400lbs heavier than the GT-R. Why would changing just the suspension affect each other differently?
BUT if you took out JUST the suspension, and replaced it with a mechanically tuned performance spec suspension as you mentioned, it would still handle, most likely even better because of lighter, more firm components.
It's all in the transmission for the GT-R, being able to manage the torque, control launches, and shift quickly while keeping on the power.
I'm not trying to compare the technology of both cars either. The AWD system alone makes the GT-R and CTS-V in compatible.
But just for kicks:

When lapping the 'Ring the GT-R driver at least selected his own gears.. the GM driver didn't even touch the paddles when lapping at 7:599999999.
