Dr. Apex Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Good engine, junk car. I rode in one of the current ones, it felt like it was going to fall apart and rode like shit even for a performance car. Hopefully they addressed all that with the new model, regardless it's a fast car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they addressed all that with the new model, regardless it's a fast car! You're kidding, right? I had the privilege of riding along with a guy who had his at Mid-Ohio. The only modification he had were new callipers/rotors/brake lines. That thing hugged the track as well as the 993 Carrera 2 I got to ride in. All that, and I was still sitting in A/C with power seats. I can't wait to start seeing that around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 what's next, the Caddilac CTS UBER SUPER OMG WOW V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i love it also but the rear flares more then the fronts look out of place on it. but yes PIMP! its a cadillac it rides fine .... wouldnt that just take over the spec-v spot just curious to me super V sounds kinda gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have a feeling the Super V is just the current name of the project. Super V would look pretty fucking stupid in badge form right next to CTS...it'd break up the continuity of a letter name, and it'd also break up the continuity of Cadillac's nameless (except for Escalade) line...STS, DTS, CTS (V), XLR (V), even the Escalade has ESV and EXT versions. It's something that hasn't really hit the marketing department quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So theyre still going to be using that platform? If so they should at least try to make it not look like a GTO with a body kit and lots of scoops and holes in the body.

That's nothing more than some photoshop going down. This Super V looks bad-ass. I'm sure the sticker shock will suck on it though; probably touching 60k+.

Science Abuse Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Look out M5. Not realy, completely different cars, completely different markets. The Caddy seems like more of a bruiser. Its not hard to make a saloon that will out perfom the M5 on the road. It's the other stuff that it does tot he driver that makes the sticker price of the M5 palletable. The Caddy may rip the asphalt from the ground, butI bet it still has a hollow plastic interior, i.e. it'll be fast, it'll be expensive, but it will still feel cheap. And, it also looks goofy. Fender flares? It's too tall, something about it just doesn't look right. More wheel, less ground clearence, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 thats pretty badass, I really like the STS-V since it has more luxury to it as well as power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badzinc03 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yea I have driven an 05' CTS V and it really makes some power with the ls6. The 06' model is switched to and ls2 so its definetly possible that there could be a ls7 being dropped in it in the near future. That car would be bad ass.

Guest FrancesTheMute Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Ahhh, and now we see why they're going bankrupt. Another useless car. Do we need another high hp CTS?

MaTS1200 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Since when is a 500hp 4 door sedan useless? I guess you feel the same about the new Z06 which happens to be a hot seller right now. Make like your screen name and STFU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 And it'll still probably grenade the rear diff on launch. Good engine, junk car. I rode in one of the current ones, it felt like it was going to fall apart and rode like shit even for a performance car. Hopefully they addressed all that with the new model, regardless it's a fast car! You rode in the base CTS or a V? If a V I'm sure a '90 Laser is giving you a good basis for an objective comparison.... Not realy, completely different cars, completely different markets. The Caddy seems like more of a bruiser. Its not hard to make a saloon that will out perfom the M5 on the road. It's the other stuff that it does tot he driver that makes the sticker price of the M5 palletable. The Caddy may rip the asphalt from the ground, butI bet it still has a hollow plastic interior, i.e. it'll be fast, it'll be expensive, but it will still feel cheap. Lets not base all our opinions on Jeremy from Top Gear, shall we? The V at $50k is a great car. At the $85k+ it sells for in the UK, no its not worth it. At $85k you can call it cheap. Meanwhile with the $100k you're gonna lay out for an M5 stateside you get wonderful "features" like an iDrive system that sh!ts the entire car's programming and makes the vehicle unstartable. And a cam system that rumored to be grinding off lobes ala the M3's six did for the entire first production run. Thats about as palletable as boiled dog ass. I'd put my interior up against a Bangle-designed beemer anyday. And you're welcome to sit in my car and point to a piece of hollow plastic. I'll even let you rap on anything you want to show me hollow. "Grass is greener", gents. All my inlaws in Holland would piss on the M, and want nothing more than to sit their european asses in my V every time they visit. But IMO the sidewalls do look goofy. Regardless, a 500hp V I like. Guess I gotta go order that Mallet kit. no wait, I'm done racing. Ahhh, and now we see why they're going bankrupt. Another useless car. Do we need another high hp CTS? Someone needs to bitchslap the shit out of GM's president.The idea is "halo effect". And Bob Lutz is the best thing to happen to GM in 20 years. They're actually starting to make cars people who don't live in the sticks actually may want to be seen in. And "rich guys toys" is a demographic GM wants to (needs to) figure out how to be a legitimate player in. BTW - my boss owns an Audi RS6 and my colleague an 5series BMW. Both squeak more on the interior than my same age V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteS40 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 2 year wait list on a New M5 as of now.. i would easily say this caddy would even if not better that wait, just hopefully they would not try to push them out the door before they had tires blown up... cant wait to see on in person pictures dont do justice.
