Default 700hp CTS

How is this thing only making 11.07 and 128mph? I would have thought a 700hp anything would be making better numbers than that? Must be one HEAVY car?

The V6 weighs around 3900 lbs., so the V8 must be 4000 plus. Removing 800 lbs. to match the Vette would really make that thing fly. Also, I believe they are talking crank hp.

700 crank for sure... they said they're making 600 at the rear wheel.
