[QUOTE=Hobo]So you accept the bet then, or you admit that the CTS-V will be the faster car? Which is it?

The CTS-V was pretty much designed on the toughest race track in world, the Nordshlieffe of the Nurburgring. The Shelby GT500 was designed to go fast in a strait line.

According to most tests though it doesn't even do that all that well. Automobile Magazine was able to get a 4.9 second 0-60 and a 13.1@115mph quater mile out of one. Really not all that impressive considering the previous generation CTS-V with only 400hp and 395lb-ft of torque managed 0-60 in 4.7 seconds (hmm faster than a GT500), and did the Quarter in 13.1@110mph (tied with a GT500). So what in the world (other than your pathetic delusions of Ford superiority) would make you think that another CTS-V with another 150hp on tap will not be even quicker?

CTS-V is still a family car and end of story..So it goes fast..Big deal...LAMO...

 

Yeah, but if it was a Ford you'd really be bragging it up wouldn't you...

hahahaha Maybe you should be hanging out over on one of the Chevy sites then! lol

 

Why would I do that, when getting those of you that wear automotive blinders so riled up is so much fun.

The best part is I can do it with hard test data. Sorry but the Shelby GT500 needs to loose about 500lbs to be competitive. The car is overpriced fro what it delivers.

Now the Ford GT on the other hand was brilliant. I would love to have one of those, and to top it off it was a performance bargain even at $100K+.

 

Yep it's a family car that will handily outperform your supposed "sports car". That must be pretty embarrassing for GT500 owners at the track and at stop lights when a four door grocery getter can outrun them.

 

You wont get me riled up,,,,lol.
I can out run ether of thous cars in a straight line in a 6000 pound truck,,hahahahahaha

 

He's actually probably right. The GT500 is basicly just a normal POS Mustang with a massive engine thrown into it, and it's only 500hp (actually around 445 at the wheel), while the CTS-V has fifty more. And for the GT500, they didn't do a damn worthwhile thing to the brakes, suspension, or chassie. For christ sakes, it's STILL a solid rear axle!

The Roush Mustangs would probably beat the CTS-V, but even that's questionable. While they have the advanced suspension and chassie tuning, and massive brakes, they're still around 420hp. Of course, they're faster then a GT500 in anything but a straight line, I don't know how they'd stack up against the CTS-V

 

That, or they need to update the 50-year-old suspension.

 

WOW!

You must drive the same thing sglame does!

 

Are you saying that this beautiful truck is trash?

 

I think your intelligent enough to come to your own conclusion.

Damnnnn that's a nice truck.

Doesn't look anything like "rice" does it sglame......

Now back to the topic.......hey, I'm making an effort!

 

No, are claiming it can do 0-60 and the quarter faster than a Ford GT?

Maybe with a ton of mods, and that is still a really big maybe.

 

Thats not my truck.
Did you see my sig?
This is my truck!

 

If that is your truck at all...LAMO....I thought you were a Toyota owner the way you promote them..


So but I would never support the communist if I can help it..The things of it is you can do much about is the household goods..But I stay away from like Communist shops like Wal-Mart and other outfits like it...

I am a firm believer in Ford Products and have owned them for more the 25 years. I have also owned GM trucks as well but not since 1988...

 

Now there is one sweet ride......
