edit: the article is conflicting as it says it does make 567 then it says how its just an estimate if you use the same three percent increase that the corvette had. sorry for the excitement.

I like these random HP numbers....550 and 620 are so...err...rounded and boring.

That's weak! That's not enough Hp! How is thie car ever going to compete!

That's a good helping. Will this compete with MB E65 AMG, BMW M5?
Or will it go head to head with the M3, C65 AMG, IS-F, etc?

Not to mention the car is hot lookin'!

I agree, that car is smoking hot. Especially in red.

It's size puts it in the class of the BMW M5, M-B E65AMG, and Audi S6.

However, most reviewers will put it up against the M3/C65. Heck, if they compare the CTS to the 3-series and the C-class, what will they put the upcoming BTS against? BMW's 1-series? I mean, come on!

550 is an awesome number. Anything more is just icing on the cake!!

Following another story on the page linked above, I found the following quote:

"the ZR1 topped out at 208 mph with a tailwind."

It was certified at 205.

As long as it can perform some major door suckage.

Awesome! I could definitely see replacing the Vette with one...now that I have kids!

 

[coaster.n3rd]

Thats ridiculous. This truly will be the fastest Sedan on the market.

It can't be any good... it doesn't have quad cams.
Everyone knows you need DOHC to compete in this segment.

I just got an '08 CTS-4 and I must say that it's the nicest GM car I've ever had. I can only imagine what 500+ HP would be like. GM did this car right.

On a side note your avatar is the funniest thing I have ever read.

 

[Zr1_Boi]

Impressive numbers but should they offer awd for snow belters and to really duke it out with Rs6?

 

[JeffInDFW]

I am just hoping and praying that the motor in this car is also the one used in the top of the line Camaro....567hp 6 speed....315 rear tires....wow.
