October 5, 200619 yr http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/10/05/spi...cadillac-cts-v/ I hope it will have supercharged northstar.
October 5, 200619 yr Damn, Chris is on fire. Where are we getting this non-supercharged 4.6L Northstar info for the V-Series? That would likely give it less HP than the current CTS-V. Also, I don't think a midrange V8 is really needed if we're going to have a 300+HP V6 that will be able to rip the car to 60 in the mid 5-second range. The CTS-V is going to look totally badass in black.
October 5, 200619 yr I like the concept of another CTS-v although I would be fine with a twin turbo direct inject v6. Lighter on the front end than a nose heavy v8. The CTSv has not come close to a 50/50 weight dist.....they need to watch that.

A twin turbo setup is going to need a pretty big intercooler, and all of the tubing, etc., is going to add a lot of weight. I would actually bet that a TT HF V6 would weigh more than a NA 6.2L V8, but if the 6.2 is supercharged and intercooled, then that's going to add a lot of weight too. So, I'd say you'd be at a pretty similar weight.
October 6, 200619 yr Is GM now taking after Ford and Audi with the front bumper/grille design? It's really getting tiring, IMO.
October 17, 200619 yr Author more picture of cts-v...these seems to be real.. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/10/17/rea...ac-cts-v-spied/

October 18, 200619 yr Maybe compact turbos...like BMW is doing with the 335i.. 205941[/snapback] interesting conjecture. but i think we can all agree that the possibility of a turbo CTS in the short term is pretty much non-existent. if BLS comes to market on ep2 with AWD, turbo V6 seems possible given that it's already in the 9-3
October 21, 200619 yr That's nice, but I really wish you could get a CTS with a mid-range V8 as well. 201626[/snapback] Agreed.
