Only 382 hp for the S550 and the CTS-V has a more aggressive stance.Poseidon wrote:

Not really hard to get when the cars within 10sec have a 100+hp handicap. I was looking at all the cars that ran and I found that a BMW X5 beats the Cadillac by 9 sec. Yea a SUV.
lol
and SUV is such a gay word

I'm talking in terms of general looks. My dad owns an S550 and in person...it's freaking beautiful. Maybe in terms of speed the CTS-V wins, but in everything else, the S550 excels in.
Always been a fan of the S550, but the CTS-V just looks plain awesome. I mean c'mon, a CTS with a Vette engine?
That's a decent time. The Nordschleife produces some funny times sometimes though. For instance, a BMW X5 has posted a 4 second faster time than an AMG spec CLK. And it's an SUV.
S550 lol hands down.
Cars like this aren't for speed - they're for comfort.
And i know which car i'd rather be driving around in.

American cars are definitely getting better nowadays in terms of performance (see ZO6), but in terms of quality (par for par with counterpart euro version) they're miles behind.Poseidon wrote:

There's plenty of American cars which are nice luxury-wise...but yes, European/Asian cars excel in that.FatherTed wrote:

Seriously, I love my dad's S550...he's got some Mercedes fetish (we had an S500 from like 2001-2004 and he now has an ML550 that my stepmom drives) and I don't mind it at all.
my next car purchase
Yeah, with an engine from a V12 LMR producing 750 hp ...The#1Spot wrote:

It excels at being ugly like most other Mercedes do. I prefer BMWs myself tbh.Poseidon wrote:

Lol just because it got a good 'Ring time doesn't mean it's that great, on the road it will get raped by much less expensive metal, and it's own kind, Audi RS4, M3, C63, IS-F, R26R, Evo X; I could go on and on.
Americans don't know how to make a decent handling car, especially Cadillac.

This isn't your father's Cadillac ... this one can do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat. A car that doesn't handle well couldn't lap the 'Ring with a time like the CTS-V set. The cars you listed are great cars, give the CTS-V the props it's due, too.Mint Sauce wrote:
