CTS-V beat the new M3? Surprising.
That will be my next car. The 2009 CTS-V is simply the hottest, most perfect all around vehicle ever made imo.
Lol wow, the Caliber beat the R32 and Civic SI.

Extremely disappointed in the G37. There really is no reason to get it over a much lighter, cheaper, used G35.

It looks better than its predecessor; isn't that reason enough? You're not likely going to notice the fractions of seconds in street driving unless you track it.

Not reason enough for me...and I would track it. The lightning lap just proves that G35 > G37.

I dunno, they went a little overboard to differentiate the V from the vanilla CTSes this time... I liked the subtle differences in the first generation CTS-V more...
Never heard of VIR until now.
Cheap little 135i beat out the IS F.. hahahhaha

One thing that should be noted though.
Every single time attack had the STI beating the EVO in Japan, every media event when they were released and all the magazine competitions.
So why did the Americans drive it so poorly here?

Looking at Wikipedia, the Japanese STi has a significantly better engine than the US STi, while the US Evo has the same engine and maybe better struts and shocks than the Japanese Evo? Also I think a lot of those Japanese comparisons were for the 5 speed GSR.
The R32 weighs 3,555lbs? How is that even physically possible? YOU CAN NOW BUY A GOLF THAT WEIGHS MORE THAN A V6 CAMRY. :lol:
Looks like the Camry beats it in HP too.
