hmm..not bad...im sure once the SRT8 is out..someone will put them head to head...

 

hmmm a bit of forced induction ehh..yeai wanna see em head to head....how much does it weigh


j/w but wouldnt this go into the Brand News, Concepts & Rumors area

 

Not exactly a "tuner" car, is it......[:'(]

 

they want it to be but its not

 

Very impressive [&:] It's looks still can't match the 300C SRT-8's though.

Wrong on a couple things there. The CTS-V had the 5.7L LS6 under the hood. That LS6 V8 high-performance engine delivers 400 hp at 6000 rpm and 395 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm.

Car comes with 14 inch Brembo brakes, and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, and IS a true performance car.
The CTS-V will give the 300C some problems.

 

Horsepower wars are a good thing.

Has anyone else noticed how many "performance" cars/trucks have to have forced induction to compete with the Mopars? That means that we Mopar owners still have the option to install a power adder. The others have already cashed in that chip.

 

The CTS-V doesn't have forced induction.

 

If you look at the beginning of the thread the car in question is the STS-V - not the CTS-V. My comment didn't mention any cars by name but look at the STS-V, SVT Lightning, Mustang Cobra, Ford GT40, etc... All mopars, with exception of the SRT-4, the PT Cruiser GT and SRT-6 Crossfire, are naturally aspirated.

BTW, I got my new Motor Trend on Friday. The 300C SRT-8 held it's own quite well with the smaller and lighter cars in their comparison. The bottom line is that there are a lot of interesting and exciting cars coming from many different manufacturers. Like I said before, "Horsepower wars are a good thing."
