Cadillac ATS-V First Tests
An M3 says “I love to go fast but I also need you to know I’m rich.” The ATS-V says “Bite the curb.”

More than I'd spend on a 4 door car bit it looks pretty damb good. I'll watch the reviews later, expecting loafs of positive feedback and a whole lot of anticipatipn for the new CTS-V.
Well **** me..i thought this was a 4 door. Well double **** me, it's both lol

How is this supposed to compete with them M3/4 if it's 200 lbs heavier?

40 more horsepower for starters, I bet it will compete just fine with the m3/m4.

Where is the weight, where does it come from? Do all the components work together in harmony or is it a disjointed mess? I don't know how the ATS-V does those things in relation to the M3/M4 but since the reviews all point to the M3 & ATS-V being practically on top of each other in terms of performance specs, I'd say that GM did a pretty good job at creating a competitive product. If it was 4 or 5 tenths behind in the 1/4, took an extra 10 ft to stop from 60, and could only manage 0.9g on the skidpad ... then yeah, they wouldn't have a competitive product. But simply being heavier? Not enough to say it can't compete.

Cannot wait for the head-to-head against the M3.
