CTS-V coupe TESTED

BForbes · 07-13-2010, 11:07 PM

I'm not a big fan of GM but they really build some scary fast cars.

0 to 60mph- 3.9sec

1/4mi- 12.2@ 117mph

This motor will be in the Z28 Camaro. Hopefully it isn't as porky(yea right).

4200lbs?! Damn it's a porker. Impressive power though...

The front looks awesome.

The back looks like its chopped from an SUV.

Overall I think the back just ruins it. Impressive numbers though.

Wow, chirping rubber into 4th!

The SS will get the LS3(6.3L) engine but I dont think it will come from the factory S/C'd.

Very impressive numbers, but this thing is just ugly IMO. I'd go with the sedan.

Bleh my stock 05 Acura TL 6-sp would do that. VTEC pwns

But to the CTS-v, there's just something that doesn't sit right about them. Can't bring myself to like them despite almost buying the previous generation model. Maybe it's the huge Supra-like ass, maybe it's the fact it's slow for it's power-to-weight. I dunno.

hot damn. you think it will tow my boat to lake havasu? Doesn't sway me from my next car. Still wanting that GTR.

That rear 1/4 looks awkward from those angles, and the height of the rear bumper and arrangement of everything back there does make it look like a hacked SUV rear-end, as another poster mentioned.

The sedan looks so much better IMO.

0-60 is 4.2... and i think the car's rear is ugly but i do like the dual central exhaust but everything else in the rear is ugly
