And there is no way you can compare this car to a Z06. The Z06 is borderline super car. built to go fast, with comfort and luxury on a as needed basis.
The CTSV is a luxury car first with the performance stuff second. And it out performs many sports coupes... Compare it to a BMW or a Benz, not a vette.

You can absolutely compare it to the Z06. The Z06 is the "detuned" version of this car, or in other words the CTS is a Detuned version of the ZR1.
When you are talking straight line performance only and you are comparing two vehicles with the same engine and trans it basically comes down to weight and suspension.
Now with 50 extra horses over the N/A Z06 but probably 1000 lbs more I still wouldn't have guessed this car to be over 1.5 seconds slower through the traps. With the Zr1 projected to go low 10's I would have thought more of this but I won't give up on it yet. Wait until a real magazine can abuse one.
As I predicted above at least 12.0 if not 11.6-11.7
