Car peeps assemble. Cadillac CTS-V

[twenty47]

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.

My friends dad is a member of a country club/ race track where they have events where members and a few guests can drive the cars. i did isf and cts-v with him and his son. they have done probably like 15 other track days with mini cooper s's to lotus exiges.

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.

lol@what?


0-60 on the cts-v is off the top of my head somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.7-3.9 sec

the bikes I listed are probably around 3-3.2 seconds

yeah, that's a huge fuckin difference you dickweed. Plus, when you're in a bigass car it feels every bit as fast as the bikes I mentioned.

0-60 is not a good comparison of speed.

my cbr goes faster in the 1/8th mile then a cts-v does in the quarter mile.


does 0-150 in the same time it takes a cts-v to do 0-100

does 0-100 and back to 0 faster then a cts-v can do just 0-100


basically if u wanna compare a car to a big motor bike the bugatti veyron is the only thing that has similar acceleration.

and no a cts-v doesnt feel anything like a sport bike when u are in it.

dude, it was a customer of mines car..I wasn't going to tear the shit out of it. 0-60 it feels just like a motorcycle.

Never once did I say it was faster than a bike, I said the acceleration reminded me of some of my older bikes. Which it does on the butt dyno when you're sitting in the car.

I wouldn't expect you to know what it feels like tho since you've never driven the car and are strictly going off what you saw on youtube and looked up on google.

lol are you literate? i have more experience in the car then you do. and have driven much faster cars then a cts-v.

Plank mentioned this car in an unrelated thread and I was reminded I needed to bring up my recent experience in this beast.

Monday or Tuesday of last week my father received the gray coupe he ordered months ago. That thing is the fastest car in which I've ever ridden, no contest. Had I been driving I probably would've been ok, but as a passenger I was white knuckling. I can't comment on the super duper sports car handling it is reputed to have, as thankfully we did not take any turns of note.

Straight line acceleration is superior to the lightly modded '08 Corvette (~455bhp) I drove until a few months ago. The Caddy is something like 800lbs heavier than my Vette, but has 100 more hp. Dunno about the torque. I guess the added power is more than enough to make up for the weight difference though.

I'm still not totally wacky about the sharp edges on the exterior styling when you get up close. I wish GM would just shitcan stupid design language they adopted for Cadillac several years ago. When you back away maybe 10' from it though it's an awesome looking car. Aggressive looking as hell. Side view from several feet away it reminds me of a big cat sort of crouched forward ready to spring.

Interior is great. Awesome looking seats. Very high grade looking materials on the dash and doors. Well done. Probably not quite as rich looking as mom's SL, but close.

Worst case of car envy I've ever had.

actually...i mentioned it and he poo-pooed it (sort of)...i made a comment about motorboating shirl's boobs and she said something about built for speed or built for comfort and i made reference to the cts-v as beautiful example of both then plank said that i was calling shirl worthless with my caddy reference.

that is all.

carry on...

I think this is just poor attempt to redirect the convo to shirl's boobs.

oh no...there was no re-direct...it started out with shirl's boobs and then degenerated into a motorhead discussion...plank and i are d00ds afterall
