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...

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.

Only you would pay $20-30K over MSRP.

Uhh, the CTS-V is $62K and comes fully loaded from the factory. A fully loaded 370Z runs $46K - the difference in price is not as vast as you're suggesting. It's apples-to-apples it $16K, not $60K.

CTS-V Coupe, Wagon, and Sedan all weigh nearly the same amount (difference varies by around 100lbs between all 3). They all hit 60 in the 4s, and run nearly identical 1/4s.

I apologize for my ignorance. Price points aside I do not believe the CTS-V should be compared to a Z. If that was the case then you should also compare the ZR1 to a Z. And the AMG C63 and the BMW M5.

A 370Z Touring w/ Sport and Navi is 43K. A CTS-V Coupe is 63K. B

After sitting inside your Vette I bet any interior is nice
