The KR is much slower than the 2010 GT500. I would like to see the two vehicles run head to head. The Ford is a pig but still much lighter than the Caddy and it handles better.
I know stock 09 Vs are making over 450rwhp and that the first "500hp" Shelbys weren't even putting 400 at the wheels. I think that the new ones may still be a bit optimistically rated but the power is pretty easy to unlock.
They are both buses, but if I am going to have a two ton muscle car I would take the luxury of the Cadillac as well.
I am not sure how anyone could even ask which one had the more comfortable ride.

That solid rear axle will keep you awake
Now you can have both luxury and power in the CTS-V

not sure about the '10's, but my buddy has an '09 GT500 and it is NOT fast. It's a strong running car, but fast it is not. I can't imagine there's that much of a difference to the '10 GT, (but maybe there is), but the '09 CTS-V I drove would walk his '09 GT pretty bad.

There's a big weight difference and I also wonder if that supercharger will contribute to problems or high maintenance?
