Need4SSpeed, BMW is hoping to make the V10 with more power, more displacment and more efficient when it becomes a 5.5 liter V10 with twin turbos.

lol I think anything is more efficient than a V10 powered M5. Still a kick ass car…

Z06ified, is right, epopel who can afford this car are not worried about gas, even though GM did say this will be the most fuel efficient V8 in its class.

I agree. My guess on the pricing is 63k base, 70k fully loaded.

Because you haven’t learned how cars are sold/priced. The CTS-V will prob cost at the dealer 60k, with most of the consumers opting for add-on products/upgrades bringing the price up to 65k or so.

“Yea but I’d like to see how much gas it drinks first….

I hope you’re kidding. Gas? It’s gonna drink it like no tomorrow. Lots of gas. Gas is irrelevant with this car. Nobody buys a CTS-V giving a crap about fuel economy. That’s not what this car is about. My guestimate is 14 city / 24 highway. Want better fuel economy? Buy a Prius.

Impulsive and Denton should just make out and get it over with. At least chat it up in IM so we don’t have to hear your pet names for one another.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that 5.3L Canyon/Colorado. That was pre-CAFE news, and before oil hit $100/bl. I haven’t heard mention of it in months.

@SWM335,
The CTS-V can out-handle an M5, just look at it ring time. And to think it was with a slushbox.

@400horseSS,
You can have an equivalent performance car on the cheap. Buy a G8 GXP and a procharger, you’ll be pushing 600hp. Or procharge your TBSS, that would be a sick truck.

Side note, once the Canyon V8 is out I plan on picking one up a year or two old on the cheap (hopefully a regular cab 4wd) and procharging it. Should make for a fun little rocket truck.

davebo, I am not Impulsive, I am a serperate person, end of that topic. 400horseSS, I agree this would be a great car to buy, guess I will settle with the Dodge Ram half ton with a diesel (not in the same league really, but I like the torque from a diesel).

How is it going to be at MOST 60k but……sell between 60-65k. That doesn’t make any sence. What I think you ment to say was………..It’s going to cost $60-$65k.

PS. If you’re going to try to mock me by asking if I’ve been paying attention……….at least have it make sence.

By: Badass Z51

Badass Z51 — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:31:17 +0000

Yup, I have. 60-65k I stand corrected. So that makes what the other guy said…. even more ridiculous.

By: broadrun96

broadrun96 — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:19:28 +0000

Have you been paying attention Badass? The CTS-V will be at MOST 60k but most will prob sell between 60-65. The coupe, who knows but I’m gonna guess more since a more limited production and better performance.

I don’t think one has to be a billionaire or even a millionaire to be able to afford what will probably be a $80k Cadillac.

Well, the timing is impeccable. GM is only 10 years late for a fight in the supercars category. The question to ponder: is a billionaire who buys Ferrari for weekend drive will not buy one and get a Caddy instead? When GM finds such billionaire they should quickly invite him for a test drive.

That’s epic……..can’t wait for the coupe.
Another blog was reporting it would do 60 in 3.5 seconds they also had the 1/4 mile time at 12 seconds.

I never thought of that. You may be right. The ‘noname’ personality is a real ****tard.

I think its obvious to everyone by now that Impulsive and Denton are the same person having a schizophrenic argument with himself.

556hp and 551lbs torque? 0-60 in 3.9 seconds??? Holy ****! No wonder it set a gring lap record in the production sedan class. I hear this is going to sticker around 56k-59k which is a jump from the 50-51k the last gen CTS-V stickered for. However quite a bargain considering what an M5 would cost.

Impulsive, stop acting like a jerk. You do not know me in person, and if you acted like this to me in person, you would regret it in short order.

This owns its market … everything else looks like effeminate ****.

Kinda like “NoNameDufus’.

True mr.meanpants, but the RS6 is not sold in the important American market. I agree with oldraven I could think of worse cars to own.

If you notice, say, in the next 6 to 12 months what seems to be a disproportionate number of used BMWs, Mercs etc on the previously enjoyed parking area of your local Cadillac store then you can call the CTS-V an unqualified success. Until then it’s just a four-door Vette.
