yeah I saw that too last nite
been thinking about 2011 GT500 but @ $55k++++
...and I get a kick of the hype out there...."fixes all the problems of last years Mustang.."
which has been the line used on Mustangs for past 10years....
......we wont know the problems of the 2011 GT500 until the 2012 comes out..lol...
the better deal is the 2011 Mustang GT + couple mods will make 11 GT VERY fast...
and the 2011 GT will crash the prices of all Roush 427R Mustangs too..
I wonder how the 09 sedan would compare about the same??

The cars are in the same price range, both are 2-door, both have rear seats, and both are 500+ hp. Why wouldn't they be compared? Bet the Caddy handles better too.
Oh, and the CTS-V coupe only weighs 13 lbs less than the Sedan. Not much difference.

does seem that the V might be easier to launch while the stang is faster. I wonder how a 1/2 or 1 mile race would look like.

It would have been nice to see the stick version of the Caddy in that race. It likely would have been a few tenths slower, but probably would have had a similar or slightly better trap speed than the Shelby.
