someone is lookin at da glass 1/2 empty...its MARVELOUS that a heavy #!# car such as a charger can do 14's in a NATURALLY aspirated engine from da factory.

so imagine just MERELY boltin on a supercharger and some flowmasters to a already superpowerful engine, you're gonna have da scariest thing on 4 wheelsstraight from Detroit and your

paying THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS less then something with comparable performance from across da pond.

 

[(*Fin)]

da camaro 2010 and cts-v run BETTER as a automatic then manual because of optimized shifts points VS da manual. expect manual cars to continue to lose ground to automatics.

first of. "holdin da wheel" is as important as knowin da clutch

Disagree, Lazy Americans only drive auto because its convenient. Manual transmission is the standard in all other countries.

A true driving experience can only be found in a manual transmission. I know you don't care for jdm, but if you ever get the chance to get behind the wheelof a Honda S2K I guarantee your outlook will change.

u can disagree..but autos are becoming more competent then manuals...look at da CTS-V for reference.

So basically you are saying that the 425hp and 500torque you were bragging about isnt enough? Gotcha.

Im gonna slap on a supercharger and step on the gas to go in a straight line? Gotcha.

I hate when you always bring that into the argument. Motor trend is an American publisher, theyre bias, theyre trying to help out GM.

M division. nothing is touching it.

http://www.bmwmonitor.com/blog/1020...d-by-cadillac-cts-v-in-motor-trend-comparison

The folks over at Motor Trend decided to compare the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V againstthe 2009
BMW M5. Fit and finish, interior room, and features were pretty much ignored in this comparison.
The focus? All out performance.

On paper both high performance luxury sedans are darn near identical. Both have dimensions within an inch of each other. The Cadillac, with its supercharged LS9 V-8, a detuned version of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, makes 556 horsepower. The M5's V-10 produces amaximum of 500 horsepower, but has around 175 pounds less to carry around. Both were equipped with six speed manual transmissions.

During the performance testing, the CadillacCTS-V squeezed by the BMW, but literally destroyed it instraight line performance. The biggest complaint about the BMWwas that the electronic aids in the car made it feel a bit remote and gave it a bit of under steer. The Cadillac's "issue" was that it had way to much power and neededexcellent throttle control to make it go around the track faster.

What really brought it down to the line however, was the fact that, dollar for dollar, the CTS-V had a better performance value than the M5. The M5 was betterequipped and built, but that didn't justify the near $30K premium.

The 2009 BMW M5 is a technical tour-de-force, nodoubt. But with all the electronic nannies aking sure nothing goes wrong, you can see why the Cadillac CTS-V's simplicity wins out. when it comes down to it, itonly really has the BMW Roundel on the hood going for it.

For the actual comparison, follow the link over to Motor Trend's website.

so a v6 car wit 1/2 da torque is gonna come off da line faster then a 425 HP 500 lbs feet of torque beast?

by da time da nissan infiniti tries to catch up da race would be over.

look up torque and how it effects driving and THEN talk to me about car performance Monday

if its a quarter mile race you'll never catch up since not only does da SRT-8 have low end power in da first gear from da massive amounts oftorque, it'll MAINTAIN da speed in da

high RPMs because of its horsepower....

at you not understandin thatconcept...but then again u was always more into how da car looks VS how it ran.

oh someone is wrong

shhhhhhhhhhhh.......

 

[reretrome]

for the record no domestic is messin with jdm ever homie. whatever a domestic has the japanese have somethign ahead of it.

ninjahood, you should be a spokesman for dodge, for the last like 6 pages all i have seen you do is ramble about em! chill homie not everybody is

gonna agree with everything you say, especially if all you have are numbers. a lot more come into "racing" then hp and torque my dude.

but f all the bickerin' jdm and eurotuning over domestic all day, with that said less talking and more pics.

(my first love soon to cop and vinyl flat black but i can do with out the hood

)

and for the record, stretch > swangers.

but only in certain moderations im not talkin bout a 225/30/20 on a 10.5 inch rim. or -6.2 degree of camber.

ie: gotta give it to my man robzone from g35driver. my fave wheels on a sick G

work t1s matte black face anodized black stepped lip straight

oh really? where's da JDM answer to da CTS-V?

when is honda gonna decide to actually make a rear wheel drive car?

at least german heads show respect cuz they know betta...JDM cats apparently like being wrong.

Honda's focus initially was never to be this big on the street.

Although i will agree with you that, after seeing all this reaction

they are slippin up by not givin us a RWD yet
