What are the power levels on this one?

 

[Bru]

I believe there's only speculation at this point but the X5 M and X6 M are 555 horsepower with the twin turbo 4.4 V-8.

I just drove the X5 M, and my notes after driving the SUV went along the lines of "Holy fucking Christ." That thing is insanely quick for what it is.

 

[Riski]

Damn.....sounds badass....

CTS-V is fucked.

 

[bikrboy128]

doubt it.

 

[Riski]

I think the CTS V will out drag the M5, but the M5 will get in the corners....

 

[Turk]

Wanna bet money? I'll put $100 that the new M5 posts a faster time around the ring than the cts-v. The X6M is close to the cts-v already in a heavier vehicle with less power than the new M5.

 

[Riski]

Yes around the ring, but not at the drag strip....

 

[Turk]

At the drag strip too. The current M5 is almost dead even with the cts-v at the drag strip. Add another 100 hp. BYE BYE cadillac. Even with the lightweight plastic interior, the caddy is fucked.

 

[Riski]

I dont know about that one.....it will be very close.....We shall see, Im sure the 2011 CTS V will have a bit more power

 

[bikrboy128]

previous gen caddy vs next gen bimmer is a fair comparison

 

[Turk]

previous gen caddy vs next gen bimmer is a fair comparison

Says the guy leg humping the 2009 caddillac versus a 2006 M5. It was ok when you take the brand new cts-v verse the old M5 right? Funny thing is, the old M5 is virtually dead even with the cts-v in every category. Won't be the same when the new M5 is unveiled.

 

[Turk]

Oh, and the 2006 M5 only has 383 torque versus the 09' cts-v 550 torque, and they run the same 1/4 mile time! LOL!!!!

 

[Riski]

Not doubting the M power, V10 twin turbo or V twin Turbo.....that mother fucker is gonna move......Now price to mod $/power ratio is caddi all the way, and the M5 is gonna prob be over 100k to the 60k Caddie.....and I like the caddie's look better so far....wait til I see the M in person for final judgement.....

Both are bad ass, and Id trade the Jag for either!

Huh? What are you smoking? The X6M is a LOT slower than a CTS-V.

You should go from Turk to Torque

 

[Turk]

The cts-v ran it in 7:59, I heard the x6m ran it in low 8 minute time.

 

[sickmint79]

measuring these cars by drag times is r e t a r d e d

 

[Turk]

Huh? What are you smoking? The X6M is a LOT slower than a CTS-V.

Dude, what fucking statistics are you even looking at?

 

[Mook]

The cts-v ran it in 7:59, I heard the x6m ran it in low 8 minute time.

reports are that its as fast as the m3 around the ring, which puts it at around 805

 

[Turk]

6 seconds is a ton slower according to Jason05GT, what an IDIOT! And only 0.3 to 0.4 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile.
