Wow... I drove a BEAST today!

Zcott · 07-10-2009, 07:51 PM

One of my buddies has been unable to find a GT-R at a "reasonable" price so he's decided to go in another direction.

He's getting a Caddy CTS-V.

I got in on the test drive today. Let's just say when you put your foot into that thing, it slows the earth's rotation!
Traffic around the dealership was pretty thick so I didn't really get to do much, but for the bursts I did manage, it had never-ending power that was almost scary.
The sound of that supercharger is pretty cool too.

(Sorry if this thread belongs somewhere else)

Probably in the "other vehicles" section in the Off topic lounge. But I will definitely agree with you. That car is a monster. I haven't driven one, only sat passenger, but that car has some teeth.

get the GTR! that car is a beast. once u leave the dealership its great lol. cuz while ur there they put the fear of GOD into you. nah the V is raelly cool. it breaks loose! powerful sedan.

Doesn't it carry an $8,000 gas guzzler tax?

370Z Purist · 07-10-2009, 08:37 PM

It's a 500+ hp V8. Probably at least 460 of those horses make it to the rear wheels. The GTR has a better bred purpose though.

It just isnt sporty enough for my taste.

StLRedrider · 07-11-2009, 12:58 AM

It's a Chevy product, need i say more.

Those things are awesome! Caddy nailed it....aggressive styling and crazy power. the interior is really nice too IMO.

No, that sums it up. Kicks import *** on the street/strip, sucks regarding the interior.

Except wait.

Have you ever sat in a CTS-V?

I have. Sat in a few 370Z Tourings, too. Seats in the CTS-V are worlds better, and the interior is made of higher grade material. Hmmm...

No, I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 400% less than that.

Like the sedan.

Love the wagon.

Hate the coupe.

They dropped the ball on the coupe. Too much arse.

only you would compare a $30k Z to a $90k Caddy.

The CTS-V is nice, and wicked fast. Chevy saw people were pumping money out for AMG Benzos and made the right decision by putting out the CTS-V. Of course Lingenfelter was putting Supercharged v8s in CTS for a while now.
