Default 4 door Z06?

2016 Cadillac CTS-V has the same motor as the Z06 but "down rated" to 600Hp (different exhaust and deep WET sump) no need for dry sump because hood clearance is not an issue

C7 type hood and side vents, dedicated all weather tires,
-PDR
-driver mode selector
-8 speed automatic
-optional carbon fiber pkg (rear spoiler etc.)
-0 to 60 3.7 seconds

AND an option that SHOULD be standard on the C7!!
SIDE MOUNTED cameras for curb view parking!
(protect those tires and wheels!!!)

Repost of a repost of a repost.

First it's 640hp directly from Cadillac's site, it weighs 600lbs more than the Z06, dry sump benefits oiling during high G turns and comes with the same Michelin SS tires as the Z51 which are summer only.

CTS-V breathes power using a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine with 640 hp and 630 lb.-ft. of torque. It launches to a top speed of 200 mph on the racetrack and hits 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. The compact four-lobe Eaton® supercharger works hand in hand with Active Fuel Management®, providing pristine engine performance for everyday driving.
Base curb weight 4145lbs
CTS-V is stacked with six piston front and four piston rear Brembo® brakes, providing durability, consistency and the capability for track-day performance straight from the factory. Specifically designed and tuned for V-series, Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport summer-only tires2 deliver exceptional grip in performance driving situations. Simultaneously, they provide excellent ride quality and extended tread wear for everyday driving.

Read the article and get back to me. States the horsepower numbers that I quoted DIRECTLY from Cadillac's site. Where did you even get that 640hp is more than the Corvette? You must either be a simpleton or a troll.

Are you insane? He's quoting numbers directly from Cadillac.com's website. Yes, I'm sure that is more accurate than Car and Driver. ...and it's not quoting higher than the Corvette, the Corvette is 650/650...which is higher than 640/630. wtf derp?
