BMW M5 Killer? 2009 Cadillac CTS-V Exclusive

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=126926?tid=edmunds.il...

My legs feel somewhat like they did the first time I took Percocet.

This is to say they feel like two 32-inch-long rubber bands — sweaty ones. My head inside the helmet feels thick and swollen like an overinflated football. And it's taking me so long to unfasten my helmet strap that I surely must be wearing winter gloves. I expected to be able to casually whip the helmet off between the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V that's just discombobulated my combobutates and the group of GM execs standing about 30 feet away.

Awkwardly, I arrive still fumbling, sweating and disoriented. So much for the cool nonchalance I've been striving so hard to cultivate for these many years.

Oh, also I'm nauseated. This is what happens once you've spent a couple laps in the passenger seat of the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V while being hurled around the test track at GM's proving ground in Milford, Michigan.

2009 CTSv vs 2004 M5? LOL

The 2004 M5 was much better than the 2005 CTSv

The next M5 will be even better.

Stop comparing a brand new CTSv to an M5 originally released almost 7 years ago.

@HarryPotterShit1 dude, you are quite pissed off that a cadillac beat your bimmer aren't you? i saw your post on the track video version of this too!

Cadillac CTS-V,... This car looks like one ugly SOB that only a mother can love, I'll take a Bimmer any day of the year.

And when people talk about money, shit buy a Honda Shitvic for a G or 2, hook it up n bam CTS-V killer. Any car can be faster than any other, just a Matter of $ and time.

@encyclopediadan because after 5 years they cant get even close to what a 04 could do.. bmw is the best.

cts-v is faster than the new M5

@DualofChaos If ur going to buy a car the Magnitude of an M5, Money isnt an issue. For instance, Basketball play Stephon Maybury came out with some sneakers called the Starburys which retailed at 4.98 if i can remember, now if Niggas in the Hood can walk around in brand new Jordans every time a sneaker drops or a package drops which is 299.99 then thats there choice. If the man to ur right is in a M5...Like my favorite rapper said

"If Money Talks Then Mine Is Telling Yours To Be Seated"

@HarryPotterShit1

what are you talking about,

the CTS V takes shits over the New M5

[encyclopediadan]

Why are we comparing a car from 2004 to a brand new 2009+ CTSv?

[The0rangePanda]

@spazzz64 Stupid Americans these days I tell you. You tell that 1 + 1 = 2, they say no, its 4.

[CTSVKINGWAGON]

@HarryPotterShit1 The CTS-V represents that Cadillac is serious about their cars and is ready to take on Europe's best. Europeans will never admit it, but then, they also will never admit that America is the reason Europe wasn't finished in WWII.

If the M5 is such older tech, it should be much much cheaper than the Caddy. To me it's a price competition - the Caddy is a better car for less money. Game Over.

Once the new M5 comes out and is 0.1% faster than the 2012 CTS-V, the Caddy will still be the better car because it will still be 40% cheaper.

Game over again.
