LS2 outperforms LS6
I just saw this in the October Motor Trend, page 102 Cadillac CTS/CTS-v; Quote, "The high-performance CTS-v gets a new (LS2) V-8 engine that still produces 400 horsepower, but now propels the car to 60 mph even quicker."
It seems when everything else is equal the LS2 gets the job done better than the previous LS6.

CTS-V's with LS6's routinely put down 315-325. I know I had a 2004 and now have a 2005. CAI, Headers, exhaust and reasonable tune and you're at an easy 385-400 rwhp. I know, I'm there.
