Neither the CTS-V or the GT-R are racecars and will fail if pushed hard for any length of time on the track.

Main point of the sub 8 minute laptime-the CTS-V will be great in the performance (power/handling/braking) department. My only concern is what will prove to be its weak points. Will it creak and rattle like so many American cars do? Will the supercharger break like my AMG did three times? Will it have valvetrain or driveline issues like previous GM performance products (Z06, V1 and others)? Will it really be a world class performance sedan or will it disappoint and be a second-tier player?

The LSA is a torque-master and I do believe it will be the sedan leader for 50-100 mph times (as was the E55) and will beat the GT-R from a rolling start.
