Doesn't seem very fast off the line, but takes a while to get the serious speed going....or they don't know how to drive. One of the two.

It sure does looks nice and now I wonder how fast it'll perform when you floor it... sure it's impressive to see it go from 40-120 in only one gear [on the dyno as fast as it were on the 6th gear I believe]

they didnt launch it hard, it was like a 30 mph rolling start... you know, to show passing power.... thats impressive but only 90 hp gain on a sc?

Well they had that one spot where they went from when they were stopped. It's about 1:12 into the movie.

From what he typed he was talking about when they were doing the rolling start.

AS I SAID it either is slow to pick up speed in the first few gears OR they don't know how to drive. I didn't say the car COULDN'T launch faster.

Is that clear enough for you people now or do I need to draw a picture?

drove it at one of those test drive things...nice car but damn heavy. not as quick as my car off the line, but still nimble around the corners. i still wouldn't buy it just because i would never own a caddy.

I'm sure it's an awesome driver, too bad it looks like a turd.

To be fair though, most new "performance/class" cars look like turds, new M5 is a good example, and I'm not crazy about the new Audi 6's either.
Mercedes is as boring as ever, same with Lexus.

I guess if one was to buy a performance luxury sedan, it's a used E39 M5 ftw.
