I had the good fortune to test drive (flog) the CTS-V coupe around Palm Beach Intl Raceway a month or so ago with a Skip Barber instructor in the passenger seat. This car is incredible. It does everything that you ask it to do, very nice interior - equal to or better than the European competition. Also - the CTS-V set the sedan world record for lapping the Nurburgring - beating out the M5 and the MB AMG. So this car is no slouch. I also was able to speak with John Heinricy (he's the GM engineer who helped to design this car and he is also the driver who set the 'Ring record) regarding the intent of the car. Beating out the German competition was the goal.

I will be purchasing one in 2011.
