They have more hp however they're slower then the cts-v. More roomier though.

He got the jump on me, but still pulled away even after that. Probably a mid 13s car.

Theyre dope as hell. I worked at a Cadillac dealership. Only got to drive them in the parking lot but fefinitely bad ass.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

That one I raced is the only one I have ever seen. I just saw the "V" badge on the ass end.

I think they're hot as fuck. I know nothing about them though. Buy one.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i agree. i wouldnt want to fix one of their handbuilt motors.. but fuckit. buy it. you only live once.

iirc mag got it at 13.3 @ 109 or something... i think guys hit high 12s with a good launch, lots of fun for modding... in a couple years it would be a fun car to be had for a great price and already IC'd from the factory... WEEEEEEE

 

[IDAFC21]

Talk about depreciation, heres a review on a 2006 sts-v. listen for the sticker price. yikes

Apparently they have "staged" performance upgrades available also. heres one a stage 1.5, whatever that is. Pretty damn nice gains tho...

those mods are super expensive, but it comes with the territory i guess.

Probably like the cobalt, a pully and a tune, or a pully exhaust and tune....GM has been doing it for years.... W-body had a performance/handling package too, but not a lot of people bought it with the car

the STS is a nice car, but i'd rather have a CTS in the V trim.

+1 especially with the $20K+ price tag when new over the CTS-V

I bet a certified used one would be a lot cheaper. And would still have a nice warranty if you were keeping it stock.

 

[UWISHU1]

I would mind pick me up a used 09 CTS-V

 

[TonzKnock-G]

Yeah Ive been thinking about it for sure. It would def have to have a nice amount of warranty left or certified. Would probably stay stock but if not maybe some exhaust work and tune. Its tempting but the insurance is going to be the deciding factor.

I'll tell you straight up that insurance is going to be a lot.
