First Cadillac CTS-V performance test published
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/ctsv-tiresmoke.jpg
The CTS-V ran the quarter-mile in a scant 12.5 seconds, besting the 12.7 it takes for either the BMW M5 or the Mercedes E63 AMG. Getting back to a standstill was another hit to the Bimmer and the Benz, with the Caddy stopping from 60-0 mph in 109 feet – five feet less than it takes the M5 and six shorter than the AMG. And if you're thinking that brakes and power are easy to upgrade and that the Cadillac couldn't possibly best the Germans on the handling course, think again: the CTS-V ran the slalom at 71.1 mph, while the M5 and E63 ran it in 68.5 and 65 mph respectively.

Sweet....Nice to read....too bad it won't get the publicity it needs - These numbers really kick the Germans in the rear!
