Specs are what we all expect:
6.2L LT4 600+hp - this is the engine from the 2015 Z06, less power of course
7spd manual standard, 8spd auto option
MRC - third gen, or whatever their latest is
Brembo's - bigger than your swollen balls while driving it
...Recaros, alcantar+leather+wood+aluminum+carbon fiber, Michelin slicks, LCD screens and screens, race modes
One neat thing
: we may see some kind of CTS-V+ model, similar to that of the AMG Black series, which will be flat out nuts.
Motortrend makes stealing their pictures hard, go here for the rest: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Stop playing with yourself.
It is very wrong.

Is a 7-speed manual a thing now? Why have I never heard of this?

2014 CTS has been given a lot of well deserved hullabaloo, give it more of everything - turn everything up to 11, and it could be a contender.. Unless your price range is Nissan Versa CVT.

Standard in the C7. I'd like to be the first to congratulate you on waking up from a coma (do people get congratulated for such things?). But yea, it's the standard trans in the C7, the GM self-developed 8spd will debut in the 2015 Z06 and is apparently pretty fantastic.

It actually surprises me that this will have less HP than the Z06. The previous gen CTS-V had about 50 horse more than the same-gen Z06 IIRC. Z06 had 505 and the Caddy had 556-ish, I think.

The two don't really go in tandem, the first gen CTS-V only had 400hp in both it's engine offerings, LS6 and LS2. Even with the power, the CTS-V is still a luxury vehicle.

You're right, the original CTS-V had only 400hp. The "outgoing" generation however, (the one they are replacing) has 556hp. It is based on the Zr1 engine. If I were looking at these two vehicles last year, the Caddy had 51hp more.

Yea, but like I said, the Z06 and CTS-V power figures do not run in tandem, which is why I mentioned the first gen CTS-V as an example of that. And again, the CTS-V is still a luxury vehicle.
The Z06 is now, more than ever, a road going race car. The purpose of the Z06 is to be a lighter, more rigid, more harsh, track going Corvette, just as the Z/28 is over the ZL1. The CTS-V isn't playing that game.
As a consumer product, the CTS-V and Z06 have nothing in common with one another.
