Why does a 06 GTO weigh more than a 06 CTS-V? The GTO is 37xx lbs and the CTS-V is 35xx lbs

Heres the link to the GTO.

3725lbs for the GTO so the goat weighs over 100lbs less than the CTS-V

^ maybe cadillac is just using the numbers from their base model accross the board. i find it hard to believe the cts-v, with more options, bigger engine etc weighs the same as the base model

bjamick beat me to it

No they are doing their job trying to sale the car, they really didn't lie the cts does weigh 3509 but they just didn't tell you what the cts-v weighed. Just a way to get you to the dealership to buy one. see even had you fooled. I always use MSNautos to figure out everything about a cars specifications and they are usually right on the money.
