In your dreams maybe !You wont beat any of those cars with a stock cts v. Maybe come close to a shelby.A stock z06 wil rape you badly i should know i own one,a viper ,the 600 h.p 08 or newer will also show you tail lights,and a gtr will say bye bye as well.The cts v is a fast car just not as fast as the ones you mentioned.
How? I cheat.
It's not stock, and (when I get serious) I run drag radials. Best guess it would make about 680 HP at the crank, at sea level. At over 6 THOUSAND FOOT DENSITY ALTITUDE my car runs high 11's at 119 mph and change.
To the OP: Seriously, if you want speed and luxury, and a good ride look into the Cadillac CTS-V, either sedan or coupe. They're as fast as the GS Vette and infinitely more luxurious.

Actually, as Everett knows, I speak the truth and have beaten all those cars and then some.

That's right and there is plenty of room for the walker in the trunk.

Which would fit perfectly with the old man hat he wears when cruising for young unsuspecting victims in the V.

I really like the interior in the Cad.
A great pair would be a CTS-V and a ZR. I went with a ZR and a Callaway GS b/c they're just so darned much fun, and I love the looks of both of them.

Yes Everett, my CTS-V is almost as fast as my 572 sae rwhp Z.

Watch out Brad, I'll hit you with my cane!

a 572 h.p rear wheel z06 should leave your cts v standing still please lets not get carried away.11.9 at 119 is very good but the vette should be mid 10s at 135 if it has 572 horses .

Not at 6,000+ feet DA. At this altitude my 572 sae rwhp becomes 470 actual rwhp. Try mid 11's at 125 to 127 mph in the quarter.

If you want a more comfortable ride than your Z06, then I would likely suggest the GS. I have owned both 01 and 06Z. I find that my 11ZR1 in Touring mode is every bit as stiff & bumpy as the 06Z06. My 07 F55 vert in Sport mode is still a more comfortable ride than the 11ZR1 in Touring Mode. JMHO based on my observations, For me, I am still very happy with my ZR1 because I am not that concerned about ride comfort as most of my driving is on quite good surfaces so it isn't an issue.

I agree with GOLD72. I had a GS with the F55 suspension and the tour mode felt much softer than it does in the ZR1. I could really feel the difference in the GS. The difference in modes in the ZR1 is not as noticable. It could be that the aluminum frames in the ZR1 and ZO6 make them feel similar.

The Aston is a GORGEOUS car and its "looks" are the reason I bought one. The craftsmanship is definitely high caliber and the reliability is on par with other exotics. That said, exotic reliability is no where near corvette reliability. (Corvette reliability being much higher) Here's the thing though. Park the corvette next to the Aston and most people would choose the Aston. It's probably the most beautiful automotive design ever IMO. However, go for a drive in both and you begin to see why the vette is such a popular car. The bang for the buck factor is unmatched with the corvette. Most exotics costing 2 or 3 times Z06 money simply can't keep up to one and that's a tough pill to swallow when your an exotic owner.
