P.S. Joe Average with a stick and 550 hp can't get there.

I'm waiting.

4500 lbs? I thought it was 4200 manual and 4300 automatic?

Boy what a pig!

Oh Lord, I'd bet if you took an old ('03) RS6 and put on a set of drag radials you'd get awfully close to 4 flat.

With the kind of numbers the CTS-V is making, it's all about grip (and, in manual-transmission form, the driver's ability not to waste it.)

Now add gas and driver. Or do you expect an empty car to run to 60mph?

[V-Love]

The automatic will handle it. Mash and go, flat 4.0

Better version...

Even if Joe Average cant hit 4 sec flat every time it's still Fast as S**T

I remember several of us, quite some time ago, saying we might see 0-60 in "under 4"... Looks like we're pretty close... That's pretty impressive.. I bet someone will get a stock V to 60 in 3.9 at some point or another..

I'm Sure one of the Car Magazines will get it under 4 sec and it will be the headline on the cover.

BTW. you'll kill them in Vegas (Casino Cash: $1006300 )

would of been better to see him start the car with a push button......

[Cadillac Tony]

It's still totally keyless. Turning a knob is much better than a pushbutton though, as far too many people with push button STSs have called us after leaving their car running, double tapping the OFF button and leaving it in Accessory mode all night and killing their battery, etc, etc....

The ease of use and functionality is the same, but the twising of the knob is more intuitive for most.

I agree with this 100%, but it still isn't seen as premium to most for some reason?? Now that Accords and Altima's have the buttun I don't see how it is premium anymore though?
