I am betting it will be a Ford and Dodge fight.

There might even be a joker in the deck. The oldest hypercar in GM's arsenal is the CTS-V. It is getting freshened up. Unlike what some folk claim about the Camaro, Cadillac is not limited to hand-me-down Corvette powertrains.
Will Cadillac try and regain it's Fastest 4-Door title? It will take power to do it.
Does Cadillac care what Ford and Dodge are doing? No. Heck, they don't care what Chevrolet is doing. They are hunting Germans.
I doubt they will try and thump that 707HP number. But the CTS-V had more HP than any other GM other than the ZR1 when it was released. So it's not like 650HP is going to be a line in the sand.
If the rumors about a twin turbo V8 driveline are correct, it is not unreasonable to think the top Caddy will get more than 650HP/650TQ. And it will be lighter than the Kittycat. perhaps AWD to boot.
All fantasy at this point. But a flying ATS-V is probably just the tip of the iceberg for Caddy.
