up until now, the '04+ cobras are the only domestic cars i would have considered driving (styling preferences, not questioning domestic performance). but the CTS-V is just bad ass; and i would actually consider it for my next car (unfortunately 2-3 years away).

before i spend a couple years creaming about it, what kinds of speed is it capable of? i know it has the ls6 and 400 HP is never a bad idea, but would i be able to drop this car into the low 12s/high 11s and still have it nice and driveable enough to carry clients around in and talk at a normal level? what would be good ways to make it faster. obviously i'm just thinking at this stage, just curious.

and am i going to have to grow a mullet?
