I just read an article on the new CTS-V release. It will be powered by a 550hp supercharged V8 based loosely on the ZR-1 corvette powerplant. Unfortunately the car will be available only with a paddle-shifted 6-speed automatic. I wish I could afford one, what a car!

It's not the tranny you have to worry about, it's the diff. They have upgraded them from the first runs of diffs they stuffed under those cars, and they are still dropping them out the back.

Still, I might have to have a look. I _need_ something with an automatic for the daily commute. ;-)
