If Top Gear's test of the C63 AMG, the CTS-V will probably be able to out handle that thing.

Seriously, GM at least has improved the cornering and handling of their cars. From the CTS to the Corvette even to the HHR SS, GM has been tuning their performance vehicles at least at the 'Ring. Yeah, I know an American car that can take a corner..... Scary isn't it?

4200 lbs....i don't know that a PIG! suspension sits high in the pix as well.

hmm, new LSA supercharged powerplant. from which LSx motor was this derived? or is it a brand new motor that doesn't use any parts from the old LSx parts bins?

DrewKo · 01-10-2008, 05:31 PM

That's a mean looking front grill

335destroyer · 04-15-2008, 05:32 PM

actually looks pretty good

Amir87 · 04-15-2008, 10:56 PM

I want one!

So many nice coming that I want...GTR, C63 AMG, CTS-V.

If I can't get a GTR in 2010, then this might be just the ticket.
