ok guys. Im here watching the news watching bloomberg whine and complain about the NYC Congestion Pricing Plan (F that) and I see a commercial for the Mercedez Benz C63. Okay... Lexus and its ISF... and not MERCEDEZ DUGEN BENZ has a 451 HP C63 AMG. Has the CTS been trumped. Mercedez supposedly has the most performance and nimble handling. CTS is heavy and the one i drove was kind of sluggish on repsonse. Whats your thoughts on it..
P.S. neone know when the CIEN going to be in production

(Drooling and bowing) I am not worthhhhy.. omg i thought it was rumored... more powerful then the corvette. Has GM gone mad. Also the STS-V... Are they going to give it 600HP. THe STS has to outperform the CTS.

The MB:
The 90-degree DOHC V8 engine in question displaces 6.2 liters or 379 cubic inches. It has an 11.3:1 compression ratio and variable valve timing. It delivers its 451-hp peak at 6,800 rpm out of a possible 7,200. Torque builds from the basement to a 443 pound-feet peak at 5,000 rpm.
so ...
MB @ 443 ft-lbs torque
CTS-V @ 550 ft-lbs torque
yes, the Corvette guys are in a cold sweat!
NO, GM is not gone crazy - GM has awaken from the 25 year nap.
Advice:
Do NOT open the door and sit in a STS-V, not even in the show room UNLESS you are ready to dish out the cash and take it with you. Worst thing I did. Now and then, I wake up feeling the rumble of that STS-V. Its beyond description.
