What's the ATS-V like on the track? Don't trust us, trust racer Robb Holland.
The best exhaust I've heard on any car yet
whats up with the "shhhhhh" noise at the top of the rev band? blowoff noise?
Nice driving. Only complain is not hard enough braking (according to pedal bar).
From a racing perspective is there a time advantage to going over the bumps or is it just fun??
eighteeens there is a time advantage as long as you dont have to slow down to go over them. cut the corner, make the race track shorter
You're driving a stick/manual but it seems like there are paddle shifters on the steering wheel???
Michael Middendorf rev match proly
Michael Middendorf Those are active rev match paddles (basically switches) that engages the electronic blip of the car's throttle during downshifts.
Jalopnik y u no see my comment
+Jalopnik They're also the electronic paddle shifters in the Automatic
nice looking Cadillac. Especially the front. it's about time Cadillac. I wonder how this compares to the discontinued Pontiac G8, performance wise.
musixmadness my man the G8 is not even in the same league as this thing and I love that car and Pontiacs in general. The Chevy SS is a better comparison because its basically the exact same car but better
+musixmadness I'd love to say the g8 is in the same class, but these new V's are about as good as it gets(from what 'm seeing/hearing about them)
+Kevin G but the G8 and the Chevy SS are the same car.
Danielle Koran Not at all...

+Jared Moore and yet in Australia, it is and has always been a Holden Commodore with now gap in production, just a outside refresh in bumpers and interior. It's the same car, it's not a new car. You can still freely swap bumpers and interior and everything else around. This is like telling me the 2005 and 2014 mustangs are totally different cars, when really it's the same car with new bumpers and a little sheetmetal. During that time, brakes got better, engine got better, transmission got better, suspension got a lot better, and interior well. it was still cheap. I had an '06 and a '13. In this case, the sheetmetal really didn't even change. the only thing that's actually new is the interior and bumpers. is the VF car better than the VE car? absolutely. but it's not a whole new car, it's still the same old one, just better. :-)
Wikipedia has a few notes too:
The VF Commodore is built on an altered version of the Holden designed GM Zeta platform, which was first used in the VE Commodore. The VF is an evolution of the VE, with several visual changes. The VF features new styling at the front and rear, with a more modern, sculpted appearance replacing the simplicity of the VE's design. Changes include altered headlights and tail lamps, alterations to the plastic of the intake and grille and the use of a lip-spoiler instead of a rear wing on the performance models. The bodyshell, windows, doors, mirrors and roof were all carried over from the VE and the wagon and utility variants use the same tail lamps as the VE models. The wheelbase and track also remain unchanged.The interior has also undergone major changes, with switches such as the boot lid release being relocated from the glove box to the doors and the fitting of an electronic handbrake. All models are fitted with an eight-inch touch screen in the centre console, with keyless entry and auto-park assist also being standard across all models. Other features include a head-up display on the windscreen, forward and rear collision warning systems, blind spot monitors and a lane departure warning system, however these are not standard on all models. The VF uses an electric power steering system, rather than the hydraulic system used on previous Commodores, which is slightly more fuel-economical at the cost of steering feel.
When we see the telemetry shots, are all those graphics from the car?
Yes
It's the performance data recorder.
An option.
I love the ats v
amazing driving
Sounds alright too!
Where's the CTS-V full review ?
I want one so bad
Nice Job! Glad it was more than "one lap". Nice and short and to the point, but saying "basically" FOUR times is four times too many. Maybe, basically, a pet peeve, but basically avoid the usage, please.
You would think the the first thing the auto reviewers would do is make the video of this against the M4. For some reason it hasn't happened yet.
+greelanter Because this was a Cadillac event.
Wait so ats = c class and cts = e class?
Grant Rodgers Uh yea...no seriously they up sized the CTS to the old STS size(E Class) to make room for the ATS which is C-Class turf.
Jalop I am love you.
144 MPH on that straightaway!
This is more than one lap... just sayin.
No
Lol. Usdm should just stop trying if they're going to half ass everything.
SkrawnyJonny As a former BMW fanboy, Cadillac is putting BMW to shame right now,
How does this constitute as a review when only the good points are talked about. This is more of an AD.........
+NickLiang So you're saying you don't like this car and you think they should make bad shit up about it just to satisfy your bias?
Vernon Price No I'm saying both pros and cons should be discussed. That's what a review is. Your level of comprehension is laughable.
NickLiang And... what bad things should they have discussed, exactly? I understood what you said, but you missed my point entirely. My point was that you seem to be overlooking the possibility that they didn't feel that there was anything bad to talk about. You're assuming that there were bad things that they just chose not to talk about.
Were there? Are you sure?
+Vernon Price No you're the one failing to understand what I said. Your point was that I don't like this car and I'm biased for that reason. You literally said "So you're saying you don't like this car and you think they should make bad shit up about it just to satisfy your bias?" I'm not acknowledging what you said because it is completely irrelevant. I love this car, but that doesn't make this a good review at all. My point is that a review should consist of both good and bad points of a car which this review failed to do. I don't know what the bad points are which is why I watch reviews to get an overview of how this car drives...... and I do not believe this car is absolutely perfect with absolutely no downfalls what so ever. I'm not saying they're hiding anything, I'm saying they purely focussed on what they like and not paying attention to things they disliked. This is suppose to be a review.
NickLiang Of course what I said is not irrelevant, it was a description of exactly what you were doing. Let me put a finer point on where you screwed up:
"a review should consist of both good and bad points"
"I don't know what the bad points are"
See the problem? You are making the assumption that there were bad points that they skipped over. Were there? Are you sure?
Nobody's saying it's absolutely perfect. But is it not even within the realm of possibility in your mind that there simply aren't any bad points bad enough to discuss?
