Whoa... That was unexpected. I thought the CTS-V would pull at the top end, but the video shows the other way around.. Interesting. Way to represent for the F!

There will be a lot of disappointed F owners if and when they try to run the new V.

Performance wise it is a total beast and design wise it is very attractive both inside and out. Bang for the buck it is one of the best values out there. With incentives, you can get a nicely equipped one up here for only $1000 more than a fully loaded F.

Great new car from GM.

I totally agree with this. Makes me kinda wish I had waited on the F. GM aside, the car is just beautiful, comfortable, a superb handler and quicker than anything in it's class. Great job GM!

Yeah definitely not cool on the streets.......

Despite that, the cars looked evenly matched for straight line power.
I think the new CTS-V would hand our asses to us tho.
