Strictly roll racing , at roll race events..
Against a basic mod Z06 . ( intake,tune )
I think with the basic mods they are around 550 rwhp give or take . Obviously weight hurts the car but they seem a little quicker than the Zl1???

Z06 FTW...all day long.

It will need more power than that, making up the almost 1000lbs of weight

Stock Z06 walks away from a stock CTS-V.

I myself am torn between a 2012 cts-v coupe and a 2010 z06. My wife wants the cts-v since it has 4 seats and we can take her daughter with us on trips to our cottage in it. I'm leaning towards the z06 and just using our suv for the trips to the cottage. I'm stuck.

Your kidding me right?......I mean you have to be kidding right?.......right?

I have a 2010 Z06, love it, and not to say I would, but before I went to a CTS-V I would go back to a E90, BMW M3, or the M5.

a 4door ctsv needs around 650rwhp to make it a close race from a roll

they look good in the rear view mirror

I've owned both. The Z06 is superior in every way performance wise, but I now drive a CTSV wagon because 5 doors is much, much more practical (and the interior and Recaro seats are much nicer).

For a daily driver, the Cadillac wins though.

85% of the time...the Z06 will win every time.

My Z06 is definitely faster than my CTS-V. If you're looking at a coupe, be sure to check out the rear seat room (or lack of it) and see if that matters.

The Z06 smokes it, not even close. I think there's a video on youtube of a Z06 racing in the wrong gear (something like starting in 2nd instead of starting in 1st) and still walking a CTSV. My friend recently took his CTSV to the track and couldn't get any better than 13.0 quarter mile.

Your friend needs more practice.

I feel your pain. I am pondering the same question. for the same reasons. .I guess you have to ask yourself what you will be using the car for.. if it is drag racing and track events... stick with the Z06...if it is purely a cruiser and maybe some roll racing (obviously sanctioned ) then... well thats where the question gets tough.

CrystalRedZ07

Yes indeed! Z06 is definitely faster, but the 2nd Gen V's are much faster than a 13 sec quarter mile.

There is also a nice 2.9 whipple some guys are going too. Car moves out for sure

Definitely agreed. They should be solidly throughout the 12.0 to 12.8 range IMO. His is a 4 door and automatic so those factors might have dragged it down a bit.

Pretty damn big cars. the 4 door automatic weighs in at 4253 without driver. Not a good platform to start on if you want to go fast.
