An IS-F is no M3 or C63. The M3 is more nimble and the C63 significantly more powerful.
I think it'd be interesting if someone showed up in a Panamera Turbo, C63, or E92 M3. Even though they are all down on power, I think that they would be the best challengers to the CTS-V.
Werd.
Who needs modern technology?
The Autoxbonne is never out of it's element. It – like the 1.8T – is unbeatable. Were you to drop a 1.8T in the Autoxbonne, it'd create something so awesome that it would cease to exist.
Shame though that it's not at Laguna, a much more epic and storied track than the one they are using.
Aston Martin Rapide? Might be interesting even tho the Aston's long wheel base could affect handling

A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".
Just about.
I'm not sure if the M3 and the IS-F are that far apart. Car and Driver compared the two together, so certainly it shouldn't be all too bad.
And in any case, it seems to be more of a product relations thing more than anything else.
good point.
as you all probably know, i am a huge GM fanboy but I would much rather have an an aston martin, a c63 or even a jaguar xj although i dont know if i would want to pay for any of these cars) than the cts-v even though it is the fastest. it just doesn't seem like that "nice" of a car to me.

Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Panamera Turbo, Bugatti Galibier (being fantastical).
I think maybe an EVO FQ-400 could give it a run for its money. I'd like to see the Caddy win, though.
Agreed with that. If I were buying an entry level luxury sedan, I would buy a Mercedes-Benz C300 Luxury. It is not the fastest, or most stylish, but I like its layout, as well as the impeccable quality, durability and capabilities. The fact that it reminds me of the W123 (which is my favorite) car also gives bonus points. So yeah, it doesn't matter if a car is the fastest around a track, it depends on the overall package and how that fits the customer. If I were in the market for a sedan of the CTS' class, I would get the Mercedes just because the overall package fits me best.
isn't it unfair for the CTS-V to have lutz drive it?
Andreas Preuninger, Manager of Porsche High Performance Cars: "Grandmas can use paddles. They aren't challenging."
But can't you enjoy this as a stupid diversion? What a heated conflict this should be!
Retired GM engineer/test driver/racer John Heinricy will also apparently be there just in case anyone is a real hot hand. He's the guy that lapped the ZR1 and CTS-V around the 'ring.
