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?

Fubar231 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Man the widebodys that are put on these cars always seem to look so much better than the aftermarket ones people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitamincj Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 They should be at Mid Ohio Friday, July 31 - Sunday, August 02. I can't wait to see and hear 'em in person. I will miss that low V8 growl though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 If the ATS V is a TT V6, and the C7 Zo6 has 650hp......I wonder when the NEW CTS-V will get.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Is the ATS-v price tag similar to the CTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 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.

Mallard Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Can you imagine if they went TT-V8.... :megusta: Sounds like they want Caddy to have more bespoke engines, so I wouldn't rule it out at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
