Insideline: Cadillac CTS-V Coupe vs BMW M3 Coupe
Hell hath frozen over
Seems the M3 though didn't have Michelin PS2s and thus performance suffered. Hard to ignore over 100hp though.

1st: CTS-V
A combination of brute force and glamorous presentation, the CTS-V ekes out a narrow victory for Cadillac's performance division — and it drifts like a *****.
2nd: M3
Still a benchmark in terms of precision, dynamic feedback and reserved styling, the M3 finds itself out-muscled and under-tired for this high-stakes contest.

Time to stop reading Insideline. These fools don't know anything.

I actually got to closely examine a CTS-V Coupe in person, and even I found it surprising that I didn't hate it as much as I did in the pics. The back end of this car is, dare I say it,,almost breathtaking. I actually could not stop staring at it (for an American car). I am really not a Caddy fan, and def NOT a BMW fan at all. Honestly,, pics of the CTS-V really don't do it ANY justice. Especially in black. Would I buy one,,,no. Would I stare at it and think ,,maybe,,,if I lose my mind,,,,,,possibly---YUP. As far as the Bimmer,, well, the king of almost everything could not last forever. BMW's are actually starting to get REALLY boring to me now.

i thought the cts-v sedan was a great ride. much different look, especially fconsidering the cars that roll rom cadillac's line. its very aggressive, and i was glad to see them make a coupe version. the exhaust look is simplistic yet gives a strong, intimidating look. the m3 coupe is a nice looking ride and performs greatly, but not surprising the cts-v coupe won this battle. great read!

However, when it comes to coupe options, these two cars would still lag behind a Z06 or GT-R. Both the CTS V and M3 are great options in their 4 door variants, but they are both too compromised in their coupe forms compared to their competitors, imo.
