1/4 ET Predictions

[the cadillac kid]

i think this thing will run 12.5s all day



post your predictions



*edit*
hmm... Parker got his to run an 11.86 weighing 4205lbs & putting out around 500 at the rear wheels (x/.8) puts him at 625 at the crank...
theres a difference of 75 hp here... so maybe a .7 of a second difference? puts it in the 12.5 territory...

[CVP33]

12.20 - 12.40 @ 120mph. That's what it will take to "suck the doors of an M5".

With stkshkr's best 11.85/121 and 350 lbs lighter, I'd guess low 12's at ~118 for a similarly powered but heavier Gen II V.


(Wow! )

[StealthViggen]

We are forgetting a few things.
1. Massive Torque from probably 2000 RPM
2. Ability to launch with authority and not grenade the drivetrain ( we hope )
3. Performance traction program
4. Magnetic ride ( as applied in the ZR1, when a drag launch is detected allow for 100% rebound to allow rear weight transfer and squat without wheel hop)

My guess 12.0's or better.

If a similar hp/trq equipted E55 AMG can do 11.5's all day with just a little extra work (Computer chip), then i see no reason the 2009 cts-v shouldn't. Where talking a whole differant animal here, as compared to just slapping on a maggie to a 04-07 cts-v. my best guess will be between 11.50-12.00.

Agreed. stkshkr has more power but the new V should be able to provide deadly launches. And with 285 rear meats. I'll venture an 11.95 @ 117mph...

[keeksv]

high 11's with the right launch, easily

[onebadcad]

Sub 12-sec run for a stock Caddy, who would have believed that 5 years ago.

[BLACK_CTSV]

12.6 @ 117

[SLPR 6.0L]

12.0 @117-119, all day long with a good paddle shifter. Hopefully the automatic will be more efficient than the manual.
Gonna make worm out of the Cobra (thats coming from a 96 modular 4.6 past owner).
