I have a few questions about the new Caddy

Is it based on the Monaro/GTO Platform?

Does the CTS V have the LS6?

Is the exhaust set up the same or similar to the GTO?

How much power does this car produce?

The reason I asking is that I am interested in upgrading the heads and cam in my GTO, and I think a CTS V probably displays the same performance #'s I could expect from such modifications.

Isn't the Sigma platform derived from an Opel platform which is a variant of the platform the Monaro/GTO is on? In which case, yes, they share similar underpinnings.

I know that sentence sounded very repetitive.

its pronounced "zeta"

No, the Sigma is totally clean-sheet U.S. engineered and is in no way related to the old Omega.

I see you referring to all these different platforms but, I gotta tell ya, I'm not really sure what a platform is.

It's the basic lower structure of a vehicle (floor pan, frame, suspension) which the rest of it is built upon.

Sorry, I can never remember what’s on what platform anymore. It was soooo much easier when they were A, B, C, F, G, S, Y, and whatever else body’s.

Yeah the new platform names are very confusing. I don't know what the heck is going on anymore.
