STYES Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 The bar has been set for the STS-V. Auto Week reports that the new BMW M5 boasts a 500 HP V-10. Lets hope that Caddy plans to match the M, at least from a performance standpoint. I had been hearing rumors about great things for the STS-V, but all I heard of lately is the same 400 HP engine found in the CTS-V. I hope I am wrong, because that is not going to cut it. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 They are either going to use a supercharged northstar or the newly developed northstar v-10. Either way, is should be pretty powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I don't know for a fact, but I'd be willing to bet that the STS-V will sell more units than the M5, and for a lesser cost. I'd be willing to have the STS-V even if the M5 could kick its' *smurf*. The STS-V can't be the fastest thing in the world, it can just be a performance option on the already spirited STS. So what if the BMW M5 is quicker, I still prefer the styling, and the comfort offered by the STS. --Flyer '99 'Vert 'Vette 45k '97 SLS 55k Deceased: <'68 Mustang 200+k>, <'86 GMC S-10 180+k>, <'86 VW GTI 180+k>, <'86 Seville 195+k>, <'93 Seville 175+k> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
