Half price ZR-1 with four seats anyone?
Discussion
The Same engine as the new Corvette ZR-1 with a bit less power is now for sale as the Cadillac CTSv I think the new CTS is such a great car and now with same engine as the ZR1 this really is a M5 fighter and now for sale in the UK for £56K which is value for what this car can do and he can seat four..
The Cadillac CTS-V, America’s answer to the BMW M3, is to cost £56,495 when it reaches the UK. The 564bhp supersaloon is the most powerful Cadillac ever and can launch from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds.
The supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine will push the car on to a top speed of 191mph in manual form, and 175mph in auto. Cadillac has already claimed the unofficial lap record for a production saloon around the Nurburgring with the CTS-V, lapping in 7 mins 59.32 seconds in October last year.
Despite all this the car is more expensive than both the M3 and the Mercedes C63, which should be tough competition.
'The CTS-V represents the extreme extension of Cadillac’s current design language and its performance technology capabilities,’ said Jonathan Nash, director in charge of Cadillac UK. ‘The V-Series developments take the highly accomplished CTS launched last summer and elevate it to a position within the club of the world’s high-performance supersaloons

Why would anyone compare it to the M3? It is priced and sized against the M5 and would wipe the floor with it.
Having said that, it is going to depreciate like a stone, as no one over here appreciates "Cadillac" or "left-hand drive".
Like the ZR1, it will make an irresistible buy after a year and a half or so of recession-accelerated depreciation.
(Unless the rumours of limiting ZR1 production to just 4000 in total turns out to be true, in which case it will hold its value a lot better.)
