I had the chance to attend the Cadillac drive summit (Thanks to a great heads up by one of our readers, Mohammad) and it was cool!
But the best part was the showdown between the Cadillac CTS-V and the BMW M3.
They took both cars and challenged them to a test.
Who could go from 0-100MPH and back to 0 the fastest?
The drivers were not able to start hitting the brakes UNTIL their car hit 100MPH.
They then further handicapped the CTS-V by making it go through a six cone obstacle test whill the M3 was allowed to go straight ahead as fast as it could.
Guess what happened?
I thought for sure it would be super close because the Caddy had to do the obstacle course.
Boy, was I wrong!
It SMOKED the M3!
It was faster to 100MPH AND faster stopping!
The picture you see here shows how much the M3 lost by...
We then had a chance to drive them and we were extremely impressed with the CTS-V. It was faster, larger inside and handled better than any M3 I've driven....for the same price or less depending on what deal you get!
I even like the interior appointments and ergonomics better.
That's high praise because I'm a real import snob.
If you're in the market for a current generation M-series car, you owe it to yourself to test the CTS-V.
