Kimchee-- for you... CTS-V vs S4 on Top Gear
Nice commentary on the "bonging". LOL. And some nice racing footage at Nurbering (sp?).<ul><li><a href="http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/hoons/top-gear-hoonage-cadillac-ctsv-vs-audi-s4-168654.php">http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/hoons/top-gear-hoonage-cadillac-ctsv-vs-audi-s4-168654.php</a</li></ul>

yeah.. the STIG doesn't know how to drive
it's consistently an ex F1 driver or Rally driver.
and that's exactly what it looks like in real life... the V has a lot more power and torque than the S4 and it pulls that hard. I've "killed" many on our freeways.

it's because he's trying to get ahead of the V...
it's being horsepowered. The V is a very capable car. Based on Motor Trends test, it holds a .90 through the skid pad, stops in 111 ft from 60-0 (out performs the mighty RS6 which stopped in 118 ft), 0-60 in 4.7... low 13 quarter... it's a strong car.

The B6/7 S4 curb weight dry is 3825... maybe gest 250 hp at the wheels (info based on the audiworld dyno day shoot out)
The CTS-V curb weight dry is 3850 will put down 320-340 at the wheels (info based on actual dyno numbers from fellow cadillac forum members).
The S4 is an awesome car as well... on certain tracks where corners are favored, the S4 will post better numbers, but give it straights... the V will pull and pull away from the S4.
