Yes they have Manual or Auto this time with steering controls so it will be fun either way buy it. I had a supercharged 05 and it is by far the favorite car I have ever owned. Corvette eater all day long

My thoughts exatly Charlie. I fully expected to here some AC/DC on the Bose system!

Personally, I think I am finally old enough for a Cadillac!

I mentioned the visor down to Stielow and he said they run the tests in the morning and there is a section of track that will absolutely blind you if you don't have the visor down.

Can you imagine that quietness? Most of our cars are 'roaring' down the track... a beautiful roar but watching the video I just thought it's so quiet. Nice car for sure.

I love the performance of the V, but can not stand the lines on any of the Caddys. Note to Cadillac designers: LEARN TO DRAW AN F'ING ARC!!! Did they work their way through design school by pressing pants at the local laundry?

Good Point !

But , on another note :
There was a Cadillac CTS-V at Year One Experience in 2006.
He was one of the fastest cars in the track.
Exciting !

How much for the CTS-V? Too much when new, but just about right coming off a lease return.

He missed out on half the fun - he didn't touch the shifter once... :(

BUT, I guess he had to row that steering wheel back and forth a LOT due to the slow ratio.

So maybe he had his hands full either way w/o a MT???

The "slow ratio" didn't seem to hold him back much. Getting around the 'ring in under 8min puts the CTS-V into some very, very lofty company.

Ok, I figured that. But HOW MUCH!?? Is it in the ZR-1 territory? Or the old CTS-V Territory?
