I just checked on a Cadillac forum to see what people who have the DI'd CTS think about it. From what I've read, it sounds like off the line the engine is average but when you get above 3000 RPM it really takes off.

That might go against what alot of people would percieve a Camaro would be - a high reving technological tour de force instead of low end big block grunt. But I would think that would be fun to row through the gears with.

Fbodfather's comment about drivetrain changes now has me completely second-guessing this, however. Thanks alot, Scott! Way to stir the pot!
