I know I am going to get killed for this one but per MT the CTS- V is just .1 to 60 behind the LFA. I think I just saved $360,000 and have enough space to carry the cash in the trunk.

It is a fact that the CTS-V is just as quick as the LFA to 60, I mean it does have the same amount of power and wayyyy more torque.

Acceleration is not the strong point of the LFA, it is cool because it is exotic, not because it is fast.

Kaiser- I'm like you... Would probably never consider American unless a caddy vette or saleen. Congrats on the new daily driver!! Very sharp!

Someone said it best that the ctsv is more like a would be gsf than an isf.

The size, engine, refinements and the cts body is fresher sleeker than the isf.

The only con I thought about is what someone else said and that was resale. You bought it right... Someone else paid for the first wave of depreciation- let's hope wave two doesn't drop to 50% of value.
