Car peeps assemble. Cadillac CTS-V

[shirlene29]

yeah...I gave up on cars being fast when I discovered bikes...or even handling twisties in a remotely similar fashion


too bad if I get another bike the husband will probably waffle himself on it *sigh*

yeah but how does it ride?? i actually don't like the luxury car ride of say a mercedes..or any of the caddy's

it doesn't inspire confidence in me...feels a little too slushy

is it responsive to the road?

its super responsive. stiff steering good suspension.

now see that i like because I have some road rage like wooaa...and need something very responsive

I'm sure it's got multiple ride settings given it's stellar track times. (It's WAY more than just a dragster Shirl) If it's suspension was that rock hard all the time it would be pretty miserable in daily driving. We were on a smooth, flat road with no potholes, so I couldn't tell you what setting my father had it on. Plank could answer this one.

I've been eyeballing those on eBay and CL... It's an incredible machine, and I'll want one as soon as they get to be a few years old, and someone else too the devaluation hit on one with low miles

I love Cadillacs, and this is the first one they've come up with for true high-performance since the 400-hp 8.2 liter 1970 Eldorado. I had one of those, and kick myself for selling it. If I get one, I'll have the fastest and the slowest Cadillacs ever built. I have a 1982 Eldorado 5.7 Diesel.... 0-60 in 15 minutes (downhill with a tailwind, if you're a skilled driver).

I'm a big fan of Caddys in general. The CTS is definitely a sick car.

 

[shirlene29]

oh sure...I like my bimmer's ride but say...hate the trucks..or the cheap dodges


I like a happy medium

issue is moot for me tho...not buyin any new cars anytime soon...gotta loose a cpl as it is

couldnt help but lol at this.

the car is badass. i got to drive it on a race track, by far the best 4 door ive ever been in. also got to drive an is-f on the same course at a different event and the cts-v makes that car its bitch.


with that said a cts-v doesnt accelerate anything like a bike. its not even close.

Unless you're an automotive journalist I can't imagine how you possibly would've had the opportunity to drive it on a race track.

I guess it depends on the person. its not too stiff for me. but my car is so stiff it catches air on small bumps haha. and 3 wheels on tight corners.
