Re: Krazy Kaddi: Hyper CTS-V

I guess this will be M5 fighter. May not rev to 8500 RPM, but should have better HP to weight ratio.

edit: At first I thought that it might be a production model... Oops.

Anyhow, how do they manage to run 3800 lbs car with 400 HP to only 13.7 sec 1/4 mi? The new GT will beat the CTS-V between lights. I'd expect high 12's for a factory CTS-V, and this 525 HP beast ought to be in the 11's, not running 12.65 @ 117 mph... It's Cobra times with 100 less HP.

Re: Krazy Kaddi: Hyper CTS-V

yes I was wondering the same thing but I'm guessing those times included the nasty wheel hop problem and it not a proper indicator.. but then again the CTS is a fully loaded Caddy 4-door sedan.
