September 2003 was full reveal post-teaser (with pre-production cars)
May 2004 was when this car first reached production

I have a question for the Cadillac community, did Cadillac ever stuff a V12 into the CTS-V? Because a customer came into my job and we had a huge talk about GM cars and he started by saying that there was not only CTS-V but also a CTS-V12 and that 6 prototypes were unreleased.

There were two versions of the CTS-V1, the 5.7-liter LS6 and the 6.0-liter LS2. The initial version was a rival for smaller cars like the Audi S4 V8, the BMW 330i Performance Package (there was no M3 sedan at the time), and the Mercedes-AMG C32, but the final version eventually turned it into a rival for bigger cars like the Audi S6 V10, BMW M5 V10, and Mercedes-AMG E55 Kompressor.

Notice that I said "rival", not competitor. The Series 1 CTS-V had no true competitors - unless you count the Chrysler 300C and 300 SRT8 models, or maybe the Lincoln LS V8 Sport, and even those had much different approaches to a performance package.

1st gen legend still lives as a legend..... comparo between this and the Mercury Marauder fastestlaps.com/comparisons/mercury_marauder_s-vs-cadillac_cts-v_2005.html

BUG: Is it just me, or am I not currently allowed to make new comparos?

Please delete Fuji Speedway lap time, thought this was the 556hp CTS-V
