2005 Cadillac STS brochure claims 5.8sec to 60!

Not too shabby for a 320hp, 3.42 rear drive, large luxury sedan, if I do say so myself.



EDIT: 6.6sec for VVT V6

That means low to mid 14 second quarter mile... Wow, doing pretty good.

And VVT V6 is also great. Those times are better than current Lexus IS300 (6.8), and that thing does quarter mile around 15.2. I guess 15.0 is not unreasonable for this V6 Caddy, which is quite amazing, IMO.

A lot of credit goes to the new transmission.

Yet another car with under 6 second 0-60 times.

Forget the 60s! This IS the golden age of performance cars!

I drove a AWD V6 SRX today, and that thing had pretty good pep. It was dead silent and felt awesome. The car felt very tight and felt like it needed to be driven.
The STS will be a big hit for Caddy.

The old STS was actually pretty fast, people were pulling high 14s out of them. I can't wait for some real track times on the V6 and V8.
