Not to make this about Kraut mobiles, (but they are Cadillac's target competition) the new C63 AMG weighs in at 3800 pounds, has only 450hp and is drawing rave reviews for both its acceleration AND handling. The weight is not a huge factor as long as the chassis and suspension tuning is done properly. Remember that the Sigma II chassis has a 2" wider front track, which makes a monumental improvement in handling.

Yeah but the C63 is lighter then our current V and the 09 V is going to pack on even more. The extra HP will take care of the acceleration but I would think you would feel the additional 300 to 400 pounds in the turns.

Other than the body cladding being way too busy, that is not an overall bad looking car.
Whatever I saw the other day was a coupe and was bug-eyed in the front, and was def an AMG. The guy was a jackass too, I would have handed him his ass had I been in the V.
