My point is that the Audi is considerably HEAVIER and has considerably LESS POWER than the new CTS, yet it will always accelerate faster, wet or dry, because it has AWD. Same circumstances as the S63..MUCH, MUCH heavier, less power, and runs 3.7's.
Will the new CTS "beat" 3.7??? More importantly, repeatedly??? Maybe under perfect circumstances in So Cal, but never with the consistency of an AWD car.

There's a lot more to this car than 0-60. This CTS (and ATS) chassis clearly handles better than any competing BMW, Audi or Mercedes. It's far lighter than all others and stops better too. Cadillac has become the precision driving choice, what BMW once was.
