[SlingShot]

I showed my wife a picture of it this morning. She in turn promised to kick me in the junk, if I even think about it ... Don't know why !!!

I'm dying to see a match-up.

I suspect however the CTS-V is going to command a fairly healthy premium over the Hellcharger. The current -V already matches the Hellcat in price, and this car is better equipped. It will not shock me if the CTS-V commands a $6,000 jump over the Dodge.

More like $20,000 more than the Dodge, this will be priced in line with the M5.

It is nothing like putting 4 doors on a Camaro, the CTS sedan has always been the volume car. The CTS-V was a sedan first, and it should stay that way. With Cadillac sales as they are, the last thing they need is a CTS coupe to steal sales from the sedan, they already have the ATS coupe to fill that need.

Maybe an indication of what is to come

I have a hard time getting excited about anything with the lt4. Its really gonna heat soak with 600 extra pounds strapped it to it!!! They need to drop blowers and go turbo or they will always be behind ford.

That would be a great addition to my ZL1 in my SS trailblazer

I mean looks wise. The CTS-V coupe just looked so darned good! I just don't like the looks of the 4 doors.

Randy Pobst put the car in overheat/engine protection mode in 4 laps. I don't think it's just the tune :( They all blame the tune since a tuning shop said they saw good IATs at the dyno; that's not very solid.

It is already speculated to start at $85K

I love this car but it will be out of my budget.

the vett's are putting 670 to the wheels with CAI, pulley, tune so this car will be a monster.

I can only imagine that the camaro will be lt1 and lt4 varients as well.

V3 2015: $85,000???

That seems a little aggressive, especially considering the Z06 starts at $79,000 and the V has always been less than the Z06.

I would guess $70-75k MSRP for a no option model. The Vsport is $59,000. I can't imagine a $25,000 markup for the V.

I know when I ordered my 2012 CTS-V just the Recaro option was $3600. The car comes pretty loaded but they kill you on any options.
