CTS-V is just an awesome car - kudos to Caddy really...as far as it vs B7S4 - well its got 60hp on the S4 so yeah it accelerates faster - though Audi seemed to catch it pretty well in the turns...still I think I could take it in my Stage III!

well duh it won, I mean come on the engine in there? Forget the hp only being 60 hp, the TQ of a chevy big block is way larger than the S4s. I would liek to see it vs the RS4. Thats the same size engine (pretty much)

S4 - 4.2L 340HP/302TQ
RS4 - 4.2L 420HP/317TQ
CTSV - 6.0L 400HP/395TQ

The RS4 is no closer in terms of engine size. It would be a good race between the RS4 and the CTS-V as they both weigh about the same. The RS4 makes slightly higher power higher in the rev range and doesn't reach max torque untill 6k. The CTSV has a big torque advantage but it has to put that down to 2 tires rather then 4 and reaches max torque much lower in the revs.

The V series CTS is absolutely amazing. A friend of mine just picked one up and it is crazy! It pushes you right back in the seat when you slam the gas. I think they are pure machine! Can't argue with a Cadillac.

I like the XLR-V, pretty much the same except for the fact that it is a 2 door.

Not quite. The XLR is on the C6 Corvette platform (which as far as I know is the only car other then the Vette on it.) It also has a supercharged Northstar engine (4.4L V8) putting out 443HP/417TQ. As you can imagine that car is pretty nice

OO really, i knew about the platform but i thought it stoll had the same engine. But now that u mention it, it does say northstar in the commercial.

And i believe it is the only other car on the C6 platform for the moment. I heard rumors that their is a idea about putting the new camaro on it, but i doubt that.
