Hmm.. CTS-V2 (the 550hp one) 'problems'..

--------------------------------
http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...about-car.html

Well, today's temps were in the low 50's and I now have 600 miles on the car, soooo, I built some heat in the tires and then did some shift light runs in 1-4th. No hole shots though. Unbelievable..


For those of you that have let the ponies out you know how it pulls like a freight train from 1-100. What really scared me was that it pulls just as strong from 100-152!!! I've owned some strong stuff over the years, but nothing...and I mean nothing, comes close to pulling like this car does at higher speeds! And the sound of the supercharged when it boosted up is intoxicating! GM claims a top speed of 191 with the manual (not speed limited at 175 like the AT). I saw nothing tonight that makes me doubt their claim. Dick

Actually, its not like I am very envious. I really dont want to think about the yard sale that will be the end result if something goes other than planned during one of these highspeed forays.
