I totally understand. The last CTS-V - to which this CT5-Blackwing will be based on - had over 600hp and while with the modern horsepower wars this seeming pretty cool, if you aren't on a dry strip, it will definitely be hard to put the power down properly compared to its rivals (other than the GS-F). As much as I love a V8, I think the CT4-Blackwing will be the sweet spot. If it will be the rumored $55k, it will be priced just right, 400+ Horsepower from a TTV6 should be just enough power for fun but also enough control, and it will have a shorter wheelbase, improved interior, and the great alpha chassis.
