Europe Vs North America

[Baltoman]

I'd take the vette anyday. IMO M3s should only be made into hardtop coupes, otherwise they do look kinda girly. Vettes will never look girly, even in barbie pink!

Word!

 

 

:ym:

[Shy Guy]

New one! :D

 

America: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V

 

 

Europe: 2009 BMW M5

 

 

For now I'll go the M5, I like it more, I haven't looked much into the CTS-V but its a very nice car, and the ZR1 engine in it is great.

[t.]

You chose something European!!! I don't believe it! In fact I'm so shocked I'm going to choose the Cadillac, and I don't even like it!

[gingervette]

lol @ twm

 

As for my vote, I'll vote for the fastest thing with 4 doors, one that is also 20k less than the other one listed.

 

CTS-V!!! :D

[T1M]

M5, insanely fast and luxurious. :D

[Jacob]

I Choose the CTS-V have you seen its Pure SEX ON WHEELS! its the fastest sedan, Chrome just about everything 500+ Horsepower, to me the beemer is just a wanabe CTS-V Just with more settings.

If you like the M5 your basically saying Hello my name is Mr.*name shall be with held* and i like my lights to turn off in exactly 42 seconds.

[gingervette]

Really, to give the M5 some credit, the CTS-V is faster, but, it's only been in production for 1 year now. THe current M5 is a dated design and a dated engine as well so it's performance it expected to be slower than the Cadillac. I'm sure the new M5 will be faster and may even be faster than the CTS. But, the CTS will still cost 20k less and that alone is an achievment.

Urmmmm the CTS-V has been on the go since '04....

[Shy Guy]

They updated it in 2008(or 09) they replaced the C6 Engine with a detuned ZR1 one and some other changes.

[gingervette]

Correct, but I am speaking of the newest one. The CTS-V, in 2004, was most closely competative with an Audi S4 of the same year. The CTS has not been a competitor of the M5 since it's recent update in 2009.

[Immelmann]

I love the M5. Therefore you must all like it too. Now children, ASSIMILATE! *evil cackle*

Chrome on everything isn't exactly someone with taste would want you know? xD

 

And have you ever thought about the CTS-V being the wannabe-M5? It did come out earlier.

 

And its you're not your. :p:D

But technically the CTS-V is faster and better looking so reallys its moved up a rank from wanabe to just as good or better, And dont people go saying " its american i has terrible handling" its fast around the nurburgring then the M5 and as we all know the 'ring is "handling" Curcuit.

I Hast Made My Ponit.

P.S dont Negitive Rep Me because when i made this thread i had full intentions of it being a small debate.

[TDU 505]

I didn't negative rep you!

[Jacob]

I didn't negative rep you!

I No you didnt but people in the past have negative reped me from stupid things like that.Because expressing my opinion

[Car Freak]

Moving on, I pick the CTS because it looks better and has a V8. 'Nuff said

[zo6dude]

CTS-V. But both are pure sex!

[KoenigseggBG]

to me the beemer is just a wanabe CTS-V Just with more settings.

:facepalm:

 

Let's look at the statistics, shall we?

 

Cadillac - 2009

BMW - 2007

 

Please, if you do want to arrgue about the M5 copying the CTS, do not. ;)

 

I choose the M5, more luxurious, build quality is way better, it's quite cheaper to buy (as it's older and the chances to find one second-hand are way bigger), it has longer history than the CTS (E28 M5 launched in 1985) which means more expirience, awesome sound, powerful engine, still enough space on the back seats.

[Baltoman]

I'd go for the Caddy just for the looks.

[TimBud]

M5. Because JC says so. :)

 

I'm not sure how the CTS-V is faster though?

The BMW can do over 210mph (just) once its been desristricted, whereas the US 'pretender' only gets to 191?! ;)

Unless the track you are racing on is composed of many mile-or-2 long straights, top speed is quite irrelevant.

[TimBud]

lol, then why are so many people here saying that the CTS-V is faster??

 

Not sure why the comparison is between the new CTS-V and the current M5 from 2005 though. The only real significant change in 09 specs is the updated iDrive system.

 

Don't even think about bringing in NerdBirdThing lap times because those are subject to so many variables they're almost irrelevant. Bearing in mind that numerous stock GTRs have lapped the ring with time differences of over 30 seconds.

[Shy Guy]

I thought the M5 was the closest match to the CTS, should have went with the XFR but thats a bit slower.
