Feels like a dagger just punctured my heart.
Time to get that NOS kit. hahaha
Man, that's got to be the fastest sedan on the planet.

Autoblog had a mistake in their article, 3.9 not 3.5 0-60mph. But that is mostly likely a conservative number.
Acutal GM press release:
"CTS-V, with its supercharged 6.2-liter LSA engine, has achieved SAE-certified peak output of 556 horsepower (415 kW) at 6100 rpm and 551 lb.-ft. (747 Nm) of torque at 3800 rpm. CTS-V accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. CTS-V covers the quarter-mile in 12 seconds at 118 mph. These acceleration times are believed to be the fastest for any V-8-powered sedan currently in production.
More than just power, CTS-V also includes a comprehensive suite of technical and design enhancements, including Magnetic Ride Control and a new automatic transmission with paddle-shift control. Cadillac pioneered Magnetic Ride Control, the world's fastest-acting suspension, in 2004. The new CTS-V employs a new version of this technology, enabling it to achieve a remarkably wide bandwidth of capability that ranges from extreme high-performance agility to the smooth road manners of a prestigious luxury sedan.
CTS-V also manages power via an extremely robust driveline. The car's limited-slip differential is made of cast iron for extreme strength. Its limited-slip tuning enables excellent high-speed stability along with comfortable low-speed maneuverability. The prop shaft is heavy-duty and wheel hub bearings are stiffened and bolstered to manage the car's remarkable energy. Axle half-shafts are asymmetrical, a design that ensures smooth performance."

I haven't had a chance to dyno my car after all these mods. The shop near my house has a very poor set up with one small whistle-shaped fan that they would point at the lower grill area instead of a big fan pointed at the front of the car. Trying to find a better facility and time to go get it done.

Supercharged CTS vs. a NOS V10, you'll walk any CTS-V, everyday and everytime.
