I must say....The CTS-V is a fantastic Luxury Sports Sedan that I would love to drive.

I have seen it perform at Mid Ohio...........Very impressive!!! The Camaro is not bad either!!!

Really,

2009 test of 2010 in automobilemag of Cts v shows 0-150:

The manual to be 23.4 seconds.

the auto to be 24 seconds.

I would imagine the Zl1 camaro would be closer to the CTSv performance irregardless if which ragazine road test.

I rather have the 4 door flomax caddie versus the mullet camaro.

So it is. They need some better drivers then, the auto is half a second and 3 mph slower through the quarter than C&D tested.

and automobile tests of the z06 would be slower as well.

any way you cut it the z06 should be at least 3 seconds quicker than a zl1 and more likely better than 4 seconds quicker from a 0-150 run.

Proper comparison is:

ZL1 vs 2013 GT500 interesting result???
Camaro SS vs Boss 302 (standard, not Laguan Seca) Boss by a mile....

They all serve a different market and clientele.
