Yes, welcome to the world of turbo cars. Boost is increased from 12 psi to 18 psi, and then additional power can be added by fine tuning the fuel and ignition mapping. These have all been on 93 octane to my knowledge. You can go even further with an "E85" tune due to its even higher resistance...

What does the stock one look like? Personally, I would have gone with countersunk hardware, but then my background is in off-roading.

I would guess the real answer is that CTS-V gets V8, but the technical excuse is that the TTV6 is lighter and shorter helping the balance. What I'm wondering is with the ease of tuning turbo cars which will actually put more power to the pavement ... VSport guys are reporting >500 to the wheels...

Well, two good signs: - they're driving hard - it's sunny, meaning a record attempt might be feasible

One - the reviews are based on people who only have the car for a short time and don't set it up to their preferences. You can see this in the reviews - people who have reviewed other Caddyshack or spent more time in the car have a more positive review. Spend A LITTLE time with it getting it set...

Not a fan of the wide body conversion

According to KBB, invoice is $60,900 - so, yeah. That said, my 1 yr old dealer car Vsport Premium was almost $10k less than that

Yeah, so you could bolt the new turbos on a VSport? I don't understand the complaints about Cue navigation - works great for me, a lot better the Garmin/Kenwood system in my last car.

What I have read leads me to believe ATSV is running more boost 15 psi vs 12, but I don't think that explains 30 HP. I am curious about the actual differences myself ... And hoping that ATSV bolt ons and tuners work on the CTS Vsport

No idea. It's an auto.

Mustang dyno, HP Motorsports Houston at TX2K15 dyno night 325 HP 387 lb-ft Sorry for the crappy picture. Torque curve is DEAD flat from 2000 RPM up

The way I read your post, 30 HP and gen II MR might be worth $20k to you since you are very sensitive to pricing and aren't going to track it. Hell, throw a Trifecta tune in there and be UP 20-30 HP for $19k less than your optioned ATS-V.

CTS V-Sport sounds like a helluva bargain by comparison ...

V Sport Premium 275-35/18

What are people replacing the Pirellis with? I'm leaning towards staying run flat, but would give up some grip for better tread life and lower noise.

I was going to ask if they were using the new ATS-V.R or the older car.

Automatic. Same ability to select gears, faster, launch control. The time of the manual transmission is over, begin the age of the automatic.

So, what are the damn 'ring times? You can't tease us like that!
