But you should remember that 600whp is around the tipping point for a stock LSA. I love the Cts-V but im not sure of its speed. The fastest one on dragtimes made 647whp and only trapped 129mph. Thats terrible considering how my car ran and i didnt even get to spray the entire run. Take the Cts-V because its sexy

Well it's all opinion here's mine. I came out of an '05 CTS-v. It was a fun ride. But, it wasn't holding up. Seat fabric worn, paint aging, rubber brittle, dash creaking, etc. etc. The new generation V is a whole different car. Great looks but I was concerned about how it would hold up. This was my fourth cad, SLS, (2) STSs same story on each of the early. My parents had an LS430 that at 9 years and 140K still looked new. So, I bought the F. It may not be as fast as the Cadi; but, it is holding up quite well and it is faster than I ever have the chance to drive over pot holed bumper to bumber trafic filled city streets anyway. The auto allows fun manual like shifting when I want it. After a few years I got tired of the "proper manual gearbox" in the cad. The F is slightly smaller. I have actually enjoyed the size.

Closed the deal not sure how I did, but really happy with the car. They took 39k but I had to buy the GM 6/100 warranty. When signing the papers they tacked on a $750. Dealer fee which they say everyone pays ( I never do) but did. The real killer is the tax. I have not bought without a trade in a while.
Quality should be better than the 05, I am not expecting it to be as good as Lexus so I won't be disappointed. Both my Lexus one 8 years old feel new. But man this thing can move. Right before we signed papers they got in a new STS V. Lexus really needs to get an F model across the product lines.

Thanks again all for the help. If I see an ISF on the road I will let you pass. Not that any of you have resisted blowing the doors off my SC430!!

really? when a cts-v drives by, nobody is looking twice. it looks like buthole just like the standard cts. you would have to trick me into buying one based on looks alone. i can't imagine anyone ever giving a cts-v driver a compliment. not an appealing car! the op made a mistake.
