Post Re: V versus V

When a CTS-V and an STS-V meet at a stop light the STS-V will win 98% of the time. The STS-V has a BETTER power to weight ratio and the 6spd auto offers very agressive gearing. Plus, the SC N* makes more power down low (take a look at the specs), and it has more rubber on the road (275 vs 245).

From a roll, the race should be close, but the STS-V will win every time.
Since drag is more of a factor than weight at high speeds, the extra 40HP will allow the STS-V to win highway races.

The only area where the CTS-V should outshine the STS-V is on a road course, when both cars are driven by professional drivers.
