Hmm, maybe. This is the test I had in my mind when I wrote the above text:
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.6 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.5 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 13.6 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.8 sec @ 124 mph
Top speed (drag ltd, mfr's claim): 200 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 149 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.98 g
That was a 2016 test. I didn't realize they also later tested a 2018 CTS-V that was slower:
12.0 @ 121 mph.
Anyway, I think my point still stands that a 472 hp CT4 Blackwing won't be very close to a CT5 Blackwing in performance, at least in a straight line.
