I’ve been doing some research on the Cadillac ATS-V, and I keep coming across discussions about its 0 to 60 mph acceleration times. With the horsepower and torque specs this car boasts, I’m really curious to hear from those who have experienced it firsthand.

Performance Metrics

Many articles suggest that the ATS-V can hit 0 to 60 in just around 3.8 seconds, but I’d like to know if that’s consistent with what others have found in real-world conditions.

Real-World Experiences

  • Track Performance: Has anyone taken their ATS-V to a track? What kind of times were you seeing on the strip?
  • Street Conditions: For those who’ve tested it in everyday driving scenarios, how does it feel? Is the acceleration smooth or does it feel a bit jerky?

Comparisons with Other Cars

I’m also interested in how it stacks up against competitors in the same performance class. How does it compare to cars like the BMW M3 or the Audi S4 when it comes to acceleration?

Conclusion

Ultimately, I’m not just looking for numbers; I want to understand the experience of driving the ATS-V during that crucial initial launch. Any advice or details you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Cheers!

I’ve seen the ATS-V clocking around 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph in good conditions. It’s impressive for a luxury sedan!

That time is fantastic! Does that include launch control or just standard driving?

4

Launch control definitely helps! Some users have reported 0-60 times as low as 3.6 seconds with the right tweaks.

We also need to consider the tire selection! Better tires can significantly influence that initial burst.

Absolutely! I did a tire upgrade and felt a noticeable difference in acceleration.

The ATS-V’s performance is great, but some folks argue that the styling is a bit polarizing. What do you all think?

8

I love the aggressive look! But performance is king for me.

Comparing to the BMW M3, I feel like the ATS-V holds its own in a 0-60 sprint, especially with the right setup.

Totally agree! It gives some high-performance models a run for their money!

11

Was this comparison done with similar trim levels? The ATS-V comes in different specs that can impact acceleration.

12

I’m still curious about how mods affect the 0-60 times. Anyone here got their ATS-V tuned?

13

I’ve got a tune and it’s made a huge difference! I dropped my time below 3.6 seconds.

That’s insane! How do you manage to keep the traction with that kind of power?

I’ve had my share of slips, but good tires and launch control have helped immensely. Just be mindful of how you launch!

I’ve seen the ATS-V advertised at around 3.8 seconds for 0-60. But in my experience, real-world conditions can vary significantly. Weather, tire choices, and even driver skill all play a role.

17

That’s interesting! I managed a 4.0 once, but it was on a cold day. I think temperature can really impact performance. Anyone else notice that?

18

Definitely! When I used summer tires, my times improved a lot. Cold weather with all-seasons affects grip dramatically. It’s surprising how much detail matters.

19

True, I’d recommend practicing launch control techniques. It can shave off a few tenths. Has anyone tried different gas? Premium seems to help my times.

I always use premium fuel, no question. Plus, road conditions play a huge role. I’ve had a worse time on chip-sealed roads compared to smooth asphalt. It’s all about the surface!
