The CTS-V compared very nicely against the M3 and M5. Granted the track star M3 still beat it, but not by much in C&D's book. They also thought it was better and more practical than the M5.
It should certainly be cheaper to repair over the long haul too.

From the Cadillac site:
Engine, 5.7L LS6 V8 SFI , high performance, (400 HP [298.3 kW] @ 6000 rpm, 395 lb.-ft. [533.3 N-m] @ 4800 rpm) (LS6)
Everything seems to be standard except for the roof, it is a $1,200 option.
I can't find the curb weight on it, anyone know?

The CTS-V I think weighs about 3700 pounds. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is.
Speaking of LS1 mods, just try to imagine what this thing will be like after Lingenfelter's team bangs on it. If they can make a screaming 2.5 ton twin-turbo Escalade EXT, you know the Lingenfelter CTS-V will storm any Autobahn, anywhere, anytime.
Brabus, Renntech and Dinan beware.
