sturs6 - time to start thinking about a new car

FAT!!!



2007 CTS Super V, powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06

The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.

With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.

If that’s not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 engine—a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But you’ll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

Why build such a HUGE motor...? 7,0 liters is ALOT!!! you need 2 own a gastation for that..

Unless they have put a viper rear end in that car or something else that can handle that kind of power I would rather have... well just about anything else. But it is a nice thought though.

500hp from a 7 liter is a low specific output... however, the lower the specific output the more torque you get... which is what GM wants out of this engine... a good amount of horsepower with the torque to back it up without the lag of a turbocharger...

M5 watchout...

That's pretty nuts!
