Default new CTS-V 520 rwhp dyno!

Questionable numbers for sure, but like a lot of performance cars, the CTS-V looks to be underrated from the factory

Those numbers smoke the M3, IS-F, C63. This car has at least 600hp at the crank! I love it!

More importantly the CTS-V smokes the M5 and E63. The comparisons to the smaller super sedans are based only on price. Keep in mind that it is the fastest four door EVER around the 'Ring.

Easily the best performance deal out there.

I know dragtimes.com is hardly the end all but the quickest pass for a stock V was a 12.07 at 120 mph. Shouldn't this car be running mid 11's at like 125 mph C63 with a exhaust/tune/tires ran an 11.4 @ 121 mph!

Stuff like this makes me think I should kill the M3 hunt and just get a CTS-V.

What is the rush? Wait a couple years and pick up a certified pre-owned V with low miles for 40 grand
