A few have, but most are in the low, low 12's. Remember it weighs over 4000 pounds....

Also remember that a McLaren F1 will run an 11.9x with a professional driver...

I think that is more of a product of very few (if anyone) running their Mclaren down the drag strip. A 627hp car that weighs ~2,500lbs should run a little faster than 11.9 Great times from the CTS-V. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll run with full bolt-ons.

Car and Driver tested a McLaren F1 years ago and ran a 11.1 @ 13x, Road and Track ran a heavier US spec'd model at 11.4 @ 12x.

I'm sure it comes down to lack of traction off the line. That's why the ZR1s have trouble pulling amazing times...too much power to the pavement and not enough traction.

I just think it would be fun to juice up a CTSV a bit and pull on some exotics on the hwy (closed course, of course.)

Awesome. Wait4me is a great tuner. 116mph to a 122mph from a tune only, shows you how much the torque management is killing these things. Anybody that hasn't driven the new V even STOCK,...I strongly recomend you drive one. YOu'll be sold. It's the fastest stock 4 door on the planet....and it feels like it.

After driving my neighbors 09' V, no way would I go for the E63 or M5, the car is so good and it has that raw character I love thats missing from the others.

Pretty impressive given the cost, weight and how comfortable it is.
