I just traded in my fully bolted IS-F for a CTS-V sedan with the 6 speed manual trans. My V will arrive next week sometime but having test driven one it seemed a touch faster than my F with headers and exhaust but prob would have been a driver's race.

A couple more vids for the doubters. CTS-V got the hit on each run.

Hey Bret, yea we need to meet up sometime, really want to see ur car. I'm loving my CTS-V, 6 speed manual just killer in this car. I'm looking at exhaust options now, car sounds pretty good but needs a little more volume. I will email u when I get back from NY next week and we can get together

To be honest, it looks to me like the CTS-V auto transmission sucks badly especially compared to the RC-F auto.

Looks like it has terribly long ratios and probably is very slow to shift. I wonder how the RC-F would fair in a rolling start race against a 6 speed manual CTS-V?

My 2012 CTS-V with manual transmission weighs about 250lbs more than an RC-F but 556hp and 551lbs of torque more than makes up for it. I'm not saying I could beat an RC-F, I'm a novice when it comes to drag racing but the car does 60 in under 4 seconds and 12 flat in the 1/4 with the right driver. These types of videos prove nothing, u can find videos on all day long of cars beating other cars they shouldn't beat. Def not bashing the RC-F, it's an awesome car and if I didn't need a 4 door car I would have def traded my IS-F in for one of them.

If this the type racing that rc f owners like to do, bunch of straight away, and highway speed. Might as well get the hellcat. IS F and RC F, i think are made for real track. No matter how much mod u put in u car, its always the driver makes the difference...its doesnt matter what it says on the paper, whos faster or how much horsepower..

then state that and also look at the info in the vids. it clearly states the RCF is I/H/N. that's why I asked for the doubters.
