First Drive: Burning rubber in the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V
According to Berube, the automatic and manual are close to equally quick, in the face of the manual car was faintly behind the highest car at the ring due to the fact that Heinricy was not at the wheel. When driving the automatic, Berube likes to use the steering wheel shift buttons when drag racing, but when cornering hard he writes the shifter in sport mode and lets the transmission find out when to shift. The shift schedule is designed for optimum performance when pushing the car hard, as well as blipping the throttle on down-shifts. How eventually can the CTS-V accelerate? From a standstill, 60 mph is an easy 3.9-second jaunt on the way to 118 mph at the quarter-mile mark. If you suffer the room to stay your lower end in it, the automatic is able to hit redline in 6th at right about 175 mph additonally the three-pedal version can top 191 mph. GM has no plans to artificially restrict persons top speeds, either.
