Yes, the new CTS-V is the real deal, I love it.
I
GM NEEDS TO STEP IT UP! And this car is definitely in the right direction.
I've loved M's for the longest, but I'd buy this V over the M5 in a hearbeat.

That's a laudable goal, in my view.

What I'm saying is that a lot of people read WAY too much into the times that come from these test sessions.
I wonder what the msrp will be for the new ctsv.

oh, i'm not saying that GM started the whole nurburgring fascination. The magazine world did that. Using the track to test and tune cars is great, and GM has definitely done a great job with the cars they ran there.

in the video there is no traffic so, GM rented the 'Ring for that test...
I can speak from personal experience ... I can easily run more than 2 or 3 laps back to back without getting sick. I did in fact run several back to back laps and never felt the least bit queasy. I wasn't running sub 8 minutes though

Very cool. Now to resist upgrading my 06 CTS-V daily driver... is there a support group?

The guy really has one deft touch on that slip angle. Gotta love it! Actually, I am impressed with his sub 8. I would be very hesitant to throw out any criticism until I had also done a sub 8.
