i seriously doubt that. maybe, and i mean maybe 180mph. the cts-v must go on a diet, obtain stickier tires, and lower its center of gravity.

With the power output of the CTSV, stock I would say it would do 180 max. The factory output is what? I belevie 450-505? The z06 with the 7.0 does 197. With the extra weight with the luxury of the caddy, I would say 180 is certainailly feasable. I am not sure if the car would hit a aerodynamic brick wall above that speed, I am none to sure about how aerodynamic it is. With some light bolt ons, 200 would sure be doable.

Saw a CTS V on the way home from work, nice looking car, a black beauty but it is a brick, matt you are probably right on this one.

 

GMs policy is car wont excede speed rating of tire that car was built with.chips/ reprogramming is out there to raise top speeds.V series is built for a top speed of go to you are scared!Very few out there will be gutsy enough to mat it for maybe 3 miles and never lift.

 

it may have the power to push it to 200mph, but between its higher C.G.and the huge side target it presents to the wind, i be not wanting to try it and face an imbalance that neither driver or car would survive.

 

The car (stock) will do approx. 163 mph. The platform reaches it's physical limitation before hitting the standard 168mph speed limiter in the car's computer.

Well, an Allante is a fine two seater, but the need for a 5 passenger car got me to acquire this fine black beauty !
yes, it is a CTS-V with side badges removed .. if you need verification, look at the brakes and/or count the wheel lug-nuts ...

no, I have no plans to test its top speed ...
its quite enjoyable just in-city driving ...

1st - 48 MPH (6200 RPM)
2nd - 72 MPH (6200 RPM)
3rd - 99 MPH (6200 RPM)
4th - 129 MPH (6200 RPM)
5th - 161 MPH (6200 RPM)
6th - 191 MPH (5800 RPM)
