"This chassis competence is critical because the CTS-V gains speed ferociously. Cadillac suggests a 0-to-60 time of 4.7 seconds, and the car felt entirely capable of that. When we test one, we expect a quarter-mile in the low 13s at close to 110 mph and a top speed in the low 160s, unless tire durability demands a governor in the 155-mph area."- Car and Driver 9/03
Not tested yet and it'll probably be speed limited well below 160 mph.

Well if were saying american cars that have not been relaesed yet wouldn't the GTO be faster than the CTS-V, and by the definition posted above it is a sedan. Wouldn't the maybach be the fastest for international standards... high 11'* in the 1/4 if I remeber corectly
