After seeing GM's resurgence in truly global motorsports with the C5R program several years ago, I appreciate the "halo effect" it's had on Corvette and Cadillac.

 

Here's to hoping they get a few wins under their belt against Porsche and Ferrari...would make daddy proud. :)

 

Is Ford racing the Mustang in GT3?

In case you missed it, team Cadillac and Johnny O'Connell have won the manufacturer, and drivers championships respectively 3 years in a row in the Pirelli World Challenge series. Here's to hoping for more championships to come.

If the ATS V is a TT V6, and the C7 Zo6 has 650hp......I wonder when the NEW CTS-V will get....

 

New CTS-V is supposed to get a boosted V8, but I'm 99% sure it was going to be the 8sp-auto only...similar to the Charger Hellcat in powertrain arrangement.

 

My love for my '07 CTS-V will likely be transferred to a 2nd-gen CTS-V or this ATS-V in a few years solely because of the availability of a stick.

 

Is the ATS-v price tag similar to the CTS?

 

Current V6 CTS's start around $40k, I think the ATS-V will be in the $60k-70k range...

 

What's the M3 or Audi S4 go for these days? There's your competitive price point. :lol:

DAT BROO.

I've driven my FiL's 2015 Corvette with the 7-speed manual and I'll say that Rev-Match is the GREATEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED. Srsly, safety features notwithstanding, it takes driving a stick to a whole 'nother level...

I saw that.... how does it work?

 

Does it just rev-match if you are on the brake while downshifting?
