WS6 v Cadi STS

[silverjess]

2nd day out with my new (used) 00 WS6, I turn onto the double lane and I see this STS tromp on it from the stoplight. I was driving normal just put it in 2nd and he's not lettin off, I can see the ass end saggin as he's givin it all she's got........juniors in the back seat and wife in passenger...........should I or shouldn't I?? I let him get even with me, then I giver 'er the onions, wow did I crush that thing!!! Looked like a kid out drivin dads Cadi! I let off just into 3rd, didn't want to get too crazy.........

Those Caddi's are SWEET!!! I don't know what they put down for numbers, But i would Def drive one!! I know there Supercharged from factory. So it should have Ate your WS6 up and Spit it out, If he was really on it. Or I could Be mistaken.

[bassist3453]

badly mistaken. tugboat with a northstar v8...

[El Toro Loco]

yeah i dont think they came supercharged, and they have a v8 that i know for sure but as for it being able to smoke a ws6 idont think so.

[silverjess]

Most likely fast off the line, but once 2nd tops on out on the WS6 he's history........

[cuzimoto]

the new models for th past two years have blowers on the V series. Others have plain old northstar and arnt allowed to play.

[Sleeper101]

Nah there is one down here that has Supercharged written on the side.

[El Toro Loco]

thats right i had forgotten about the sts-v

[LT1 > LS1]

the sts, is FWD, and has round 300 hp, and it makes it up pretty high too.


its got power, and I'd bet it does a hell of a burnout, but man, it weighs a ton

[Sleeper101]

Sorry the confusion guys I was thinking the Cts-V!! my bad.

The Cadillac CTS-V is a high performance version of the standard CTS. It features a 6.2L LSA V8 engine producing 550 horsepower and 550 lb/ft of torque.

Thats the Bad boy I was referring too.

the sts is rear wheel drive, not front and some are AWD. also could have not even been a northstar and was 3.6 vvt

thats the new cts-v the old one has been around since '04 if i recall, started with the ls6 then they went to the ls2


to the origial poster- good kill, it was prolly a 3.6 liter v6. if it was an sts-v which is a 80k car, he woulda walked past you standing still

Despite having 470 hp the STS-V would be a good race for an LS1, they're huge. A CTS-V though would blow the doors off a stock LS1. Why the STS-V costs twenty thousand more i dont know.

have you ever been in one? they are deceptively fast. and no, a first gen cts-v would not blow the doors off a stock ls1. now the new 2nd gen if that is what you are referring to will hands down whoop our ass

[drummer52910]

They run consistent mid 13's, based on what ive read about the 08 models. Ya i was referring to the new CTS-V, the LS2 version would have only a slight advantage.

[blue02Z]

i agree, i agree. the lil 4.4 in the sts-v and xlr-v are outrageous tho. i cant wait to drive the new cts-v!!!
