[bluzohh6]

what happened to 600 supercharged ponies out of a north star or something?

 

[Mook]

negative. the "rumored" engine was a supercharged version of the z06 motor but now i think its just getting the 505...i havent heard much on it lately

 

[bluzohh6]

thats strange it would be great if it was supercharged

 

[Mook]

perhaps brugtp can chime in on this since he is on the "inside"

 

[bluzohh6]

Yes perhaps, lets her the inside scoop. Not like I would buy a new caddy, I would wait a little bit of time, like a year.

I read the blogs just like you guys, the only difference is that its my job to keep up to date on this stuff. Tough, I know. Caddy does a good job at covering stuff and not letting info leak, unlike the rest of GM's brands. You'll probably see it pop up at an auto show, with no info leaked until they want you to see it. Just like the 2008 CTS.

Nothing official yet on the next CTS-V, but from what I've heard over the blogs, reports say they wanted to use a supercharged engine because the Z06's powerplant made its power too high in the rpm range, which would kind of suck for a large car like the CTS that needs the low-end grunt to get that bitch moving. Z06 makes max torque at 4800 or 5000 rpm IIRC. My guess is it will be a detuned version of the ZR-1's engine, with 6.2-liters and forced induction, but we'll see. Warning, Disclaimer: This is just my speculation and is no way official or representative of anyone else except me and my own sick, twisted delights to see a supercharged CTS.
