I don't think the "Nothing quicker than Corvette" is untrue. I just think it mainly applies to Chevrolet. Same with I don't think the GTO will be topped by anything Pontiac. The CTSV IS supposed to be the "official" sports Caddilac correct?
EDIT: How will the CTSV stack up against the C6 or the upcoming C6 Z06?

Its comparing apples to oranges. I don't think GM would have a problem making a Caddilac faster than a Corvette. I'll be trading in the vette for the V since I just had a new baby and now have 2 kids, and yes, those #'s are problably "I'm a decent shifter" #'s and with a good driver i'm sure 12.7's are possible. If someone can bring the same motor to an 11.99, a 12.7 should be possible in a car that weighs 500#'s more.

Sounds good. The E55 and 2005 M5 have gone on to the next level but they continue to be about $25K more also.
The CTS-V is dead on with current M5 and old E55.

This should hopefully put the "Nothing quicker than Corvette" urban legend to rest. The CTSv is slightly quicker than the base Corvette, and merely a couple bats of an eye slower than a Z06 to 60 mph.

The C6 however will again undeniably regain top performance. When does it go on sale? Both CTS-V and C6?
I dunno about going with the current LS6 motor. It seems obvious the CTS-V will get the '05/'06 Z06 500hp motor. If we know that, then only the uninformed are going to jump on the 5.7L '04 CTS-V only to get pissed off when 100 more hp comes down the pipe for the same price in '05.
