How is this possible? My Eclipse has 260 torque and does 0-60 in the high 5s. How can a car with 270 torque be equal to 60 with a car that has 395??? ( the V)

I think you answered your own question.

But as far as modding, CTS V will show more gains for engine mods. But that V is generation back so its gonna feel much different than a newer V , or
370. You will just have to drive and see. I'm not sure if it will be your only car but 370z as a daily driver or for carrying people/cargo has its limitations vs a coupe or 4dr car.
