Cadillac CTS-V Coupe versus Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

"Nearly every major media outlet has pitted the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe against the best and brightest from the high-powered sports coupe segment, and thus far, the results have been predictable. Motor Trend brought the supercharged Caddy coupe to Germany for a full-scale battle against the BMW M3 and Audi RS5, while Car & Driver brought the three sleds together for a entertaining track tango with ear-bleeding audio.

Road & Track have taken another tack with CTS-V Coupe, opting for an all-American drag-race of the 556-horsepower Cadillac against the 550-horsepower 2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang. The GT500 and the CTS-V Coupe are made within 100 miles of one another in southeast Michigan and two vehicles are within .3 inches of one another in overall length. The CTS-V Coupe has 41 more pound-feet of torque, while the Mustang is lighter."

I absolutely love the V-coupe, everything about it and the fact that you can own a badass American muscle car without a stigma to go along with it!

 

V coupe looks ugly to me. I would rock an all black gt500 though!

 

I prefer the looks of the GT500 as well.

 

I prefer the V sedan over all of them.

 

Well if we are playing that game, sign me up for an m3 sedan please

 

switch drivers.

 

for it to take 4.4 seconds to hit 60 in a 550 horsepower coupe seems a little off. I feel like I can hit ~4.5-4.8 in my S4 and it is heavier with less power.
