500 Hp Ls2?
Car and Driver says...
...the CTS-V is expected to be available in two editions—hot and torrid, the latter propelled by a 6.0-liter LS2 small-block V-8 borrowed from the C6 Corvette. Our spyshot shows the expanded fender flares, bigger wheels, and wider rubber required to handle the expected 500-hp package. All the new hot-rod Caddys are due late next year.
So what is the Vette's version of the LS2 lacking?
The logical thought is a supercharger, but they only mention that on the Northstars.
That would suck, even if the Z06 gets 500 HP, that little sedan shouldn't be able to outrun a normal coupe or convertible Vette.
