G4 tv said yesterday that it was announced that the next CTS-V would have the 600 hp detuned Z07 engine. They pretty much said exactly what Motor Trend said so I would guess that is what they were basing their announcement on.

Anyway, I heard it on tv so it must be true.

(Sorry for not including a picture of Heather Locklear)

My most definitive prediction:

Fer sur under $60K amd most likely under $55 for the base

Will have options this time to load up the price

600hp thats crazy. I just don't see this happening. I'm buying one no matter what the hp turns out to be. If we see 600hp there is going to be a lot of cracked up V's. Insurance is going to go through the roof...

What the hell? This is like the 3rd post saying basically that 600 hp is too much??!!??

Get a DTS if your bothered by loud, scary-fast cars that idle rough and cost slightly more to insure.

On the other hand, if you want to get the choice parking spot at the bingo parlor you gotta be quick and the CTS-V might be the way to go.

Let me put this in terms you geezers will appreciate.

The CTS-V is like your perscription medication. The rough ride and higher insurance is like dog food. You gotta eat the dog food in order to have your medicine.

I'm sure that clears it up.

Talk about the geezer factor, where the hell are you seeing all these posts that say 600 is too much (besides the post above you)?

I'm personally just saying it ain't gonna happen, not that I don't want it to happen. Pure and simple. If it happens, I'm plunking down my money for sure.

I predict that there will not be an '09 V series or '10 or '11.....
Better enjoy the ones we have now and keep them pristine for the antique shows.

Aah-h... thank you! Finally, someone with the keen insight into us old geezers.
And.. who has the ability to explain it with such clarity.
But.. if GM produces a V with 600hp and doesn't keep it under $60K, I will be forced to change from Purina One to Alpo.
I see it's time for my medicine.
