Cadillac CTS-V Blisters the Ring in Under 8 Minutes
May 12, 2008
The information in this article is completely misleading. It says the CTS-V and the ZR1 share the exact same engine. THEY DON'T!!! The CTS-V doesn't have the LS9 that the ZR1 does, it has the LSA. IIRC, the EATON TVS Supercharger even is the smaller of the two. The ZR1 has a larger one and who knows, the pulleys could be different too. But to say that the ZR1 has the "same engine" and needs to cut the CTS-V time by 30 seconds to beat the GT-R tries to make it seem impossible to be done.
Now if stating that the CTS-V is 80hp lower than the reclaimed 638hp ZR1, which just happens to have a V8 and TVS supercharger also, it seems more realistic for the ZR1 to get 30 seconds lower than the CTS-V!
