There are few things I love more than zero-to-sixty tests. Although the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe’s time wasn’t awe-inspiring, it’s always fun to push a car to its limits.
I posted my full road test and review a few days ago. In short, I was impressed by the CTS Coupe, but am really excited for the debut of the 556 horsepower CTS-V
Thanks for the great review of this coupe. Doesnt 6.8s sounds a bit off ? The Sedan which uses the same engine, suspension and gearbox gets 5.9s and the Camaro V6 which uses the same engine does it in 6.0 or 6.1s (depends on which mag u read).
[..YouTube..] @wongmylesa Dude… The 38000 CTS coupe does not even have NAVI!
The 2011 Accord Coupe V6 Has Navi, Bluetooth, Remone start, Anti theift, Back Up cam, Surround sound, Paddle shifters, Sunroof, Memory seats, Heated seats, HID lights, wood trim, and ambient lighting for About 32 grand….
The CTS has NONE of that Stock for 37 grand.
( Cadillac . com)
You have to get The premium package just to get all of that and NOTHING more!….. 47000
[..YouTube..] i love how all these pro american car people are just desperate for excuses. (one guy said she’s looking forward to look at a script…for real man? last i checked you looked forward to see where your going. fuck sakes. this car is garbage, you still can’t touch the germans. get over it. despite more power than the audi a5, and the bmw 335 it still shits the bed. and that ass end is the ugliest part of any car i’ve ever seen. no thanks cadillac.
[..YouTube..] @mansfieldcanada diff. test conditions like road conditions, elevation, temperature, and driver all have an affect on the acceleration times. motorweek got it to 60 in 6.0 flat. the cars themselves also have different factors affecting times like gearing, usable hp and torque, weight etc. its not just about hp and torque.
[..YouTube..] WTF?? Never seen wheels spin that slow on the road. So thats what you call Launch Control in US, the wheels have to spin in place but slowly. Ah-ha.
Europe is better.
[..YouTube..] @mansfieldcanada Your car must weigh less, that’s why. Horsepower doesn’t automatically equal more speed, it has a lot to do with how much weight that engine needs to move.
[..YouTube..] @Hollyweed1 Thats the only real thing American car companies know how to do is make a fast car! Shit they make 4 cylinders faster then some foreign/import’s V6′s/6 cylinders! They’ve always been known for making an automobile then can at least win a drag race. Now as you can see from this vid and the 1′s where the CTS-V dominated the Jag and the BMW M3…. They can do a lot more then just a drag!
[..YouTube..] She knows everything about the car and she loves flooring it, so I’d say….yes.
The car itself I don’t like, the automatic is too slow, just listen to it at the red line…awful.
[..YouTube..] don’t think anyone denies the fast part, I think what most people question is the quality and handling of modern domestics. But yes, no one in their right minds would deny American automakers have perfected the art of dropping huge ass engines in E frames that hull ass in a straight line, but most people think thats all they can do. It isn’t true, but US automakers are going to have to work extra hard to beat that reputation internationally, and to some degree, in the US as well.
[..YouTube..] Yeah, I get the same feeling when I floor it. I honestly think when they say cars are in another league such as Bugatti to Ferrari and Ferrari to the S550 and the S550 to the V6 BMWs it’s all about the lateral G’s. The sensation force of being thrusted back into your seat and side to side G forces when high speed cornering is what places cars in “leagues”.
[..YouTube..] Just like a woman. Won’t shut up and get to business. Then she sits there “spinning?” the tires while counting down. All that will do is slow down the take off.
Go get your nails done and sell cosmetics.
[..YouTube..] are you people in breads !!, Comparing a Honda with a Cadillac. come on, GM had been designing cars since 1930 ! for god sake !, the liters are just bullshit. this car has a supercharge with a V8 Engine !
[..YouTube..] that is the base model cts coupe. read the description it doesnt say CTS-V idiots u rice rocket aint got NOTHING on good old muscle. who the hell cares about ur canyon runs. real smart
[..YouTube..] one more thing. the nissan person? take the SMALLEST motor in ur altima and try doing 5.8 read the description before u comment. V6 NOT supercharged V8 the normal cts isnt for performance. damn yall losers
Thanks for the great info. What do yout think of the CTS coupe coming out this summer?

Just curious, Thanks!
Do you know when that is going to happen? You do great reviews by the way, keep up the good work!

Here in Kazakhstan, the only thing women are allowed to drive are oxcarts!!
[..YouTube..] @sordow of course you would say she’s hot… You’re a virgin!
[..YouTube..] jessi reminds me of jessica biel a little, but with blonde hair.
[..YouTube..] @mansfieldcanada diff. test conditions like road conditions, elevation, temperature, and driver all have an affect on the acceleration times. motorweek got it to 60 in 6.0 flat. the cars themselves also have different factors affecting times like gearing, usable hp and torque, weight etc. its not just about hp and torque.
[..YouTube..] @Ls2GTOmurder anyone who says 556 hp is too much is a pussy
[..YouTube..] WTF?? Never seen wheels spin that slow on the road. So thats what you call Launch Control in US, the wheels have to spin in place but slowly. Ah-ha.
Europe is better.
[..YouTube..] @mansfieldcanada Your car must weigh less, that’s why. Horsepower doesn’t automatically equal more speed, it has a lot to do with how much weight that engine needs to move.
[..YouTube..] @Hollyweed1 Nope. Europe = fail.
[..YouTube..] @ultogamma name me the US companies that make cars and are well known for their performance…!
P.S. Germany, Italy, Great Britain, France, remind you of somethin?!
[..YouTube..] @Hollyweed1 Thats the only real thing American car companies know how to do is make a fast car! Shit they make 4 cylinders faster then some foreign/import’s V6′s/6 cylinders!

They can do a lot more then just a drag!
[..YouTube..] @156bass she’d be hot even if she was ignorant of everything automobile related
[..YouTube..] @ultogamma American Cars can sail… cuz theyr horrible, they are like big vessel when it comes to corners and havin fun ohhh jeezz. plss.
[..YouTube..] @156bass is she really a petro head?
[..YouTube..] She knows everything about the car and she loves flooring it, so I’d say….yes.
The car itself I don’t like, the automatic is too slow, just listen to it at the red line…awful.
[..YouTube..] is it just me or she looks like ivanka trump????? anyone ? ?????
[..YouTube..] don’t think anyone denies the fast part, I think what most people question is the quality and handling of modern domestics.

[..YouTube..] The sedan is faster?
[..YouTube..] I think girls/women should refer to cars as ‘he’
[..YouTube..] Yeah, I get the same feeling when I floor it. I honestly think when they say cars are in another league such as Bugatti to Ferrari and Ferrari to the S550 and the S550 to the V6 BMWs it’s all about the lateral G’s.

[..YouTube..] i can think couple things better then flooring it
[..YouTube..] she is aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome!!!!!!!
[..YouTube..] Just like a woman. Won’t shut up and get to business. Then she sits there “spinning?” the tires while counting down. All that will do is slow down the take off.
Go get your nails done and sell cosmetics.
[..YouTube..] @TheRefinersFire — DiaF
//Jess is the best!
[..YouTube..] @abeismain well, in other languages cars is masculine, such as spanish, german, french (except for voiture), and so on, u get the idea.
[..YouTube..] 304 hp and 6.8 sec in the 0-60? It’s quite slow, a GTI does almost that.
[..YouTube..] @trobi
