CTC-V (because I refuse to call it a CTS-V Coupe)

Looks like the press embargo just got lifted.

Asking the rear wheels to distribute 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of twist is a big task, and you can easily squeal the tires from every stop, even with traction control fully engaged. It's all in good fun, though as we like a car that bites back. The engine and exhaust noise emitted under hard acceleration further stimulates the thrill of full-throttle thrust, especially since there's a split second in which you only hear the roar of the 6.2-liter LSA V8 before the supercharger finishes spooling. Just as you start to take in the grumble from that fierce piece of all-American aluminum muscle, the supercharger's whine takes over; the two noises playing together in symphonic harmony.

Now, I can't be the only one that substitutes "CTS-V Coupe" for "Z28" ...

That said, the CTC-V comes with 285's out back and weighs over 4200 lbs. I can only guess what about another inch of rubber and 200 lbs less weight would do.

Oh, and one last thing ... do any of you think the rear wheel and tire could be about 1" bigger overall in the back? The gigantic rear quarter panel seems to make the rear wheel look smaller than the front.

the rear wheels could be a bit bigger, but that car is dead sexy, i'm drooling at that picture. if only I had 65k to buy it............................

Plus the Z-28 would have more of a sport-oriented suspension than the V.

I don't see how the Z-28 could be that much lighter. The SS comes in just under 3900 lbs.

That is one amazing looking car.

Is it a hatchback?

How do you figure the CTS-V doesn't have a sport-oriented suspension?

Got up close and personal with the CTS-V (coupe') at the Goodwood festival of speed in the UK last week.

Drop it about 1.5" and put 20" wheels on and it will look cool. Also it needs more exhaust noise.

I don't know what it is ,but this is the one car that I think the four door looks better.

V-series = High-performance powertrain and sport-tuned suspension...
