your question is a good one, but its an age old question. The heavier, high HP versus the lighter, more nimble, high reving ??
M3 has a long and elaborate history as the benchmark here, and it is well deserved. Certainly, the CTS-v sedan will never threaten in that regard.
But taken on its own merit....a roughly 4200 lb sedan that can run sub 8 minute lap at the ring in production form, a 2:50 lap at monticello by a raw amateur, and float down the freeway with 4 passengers on a long road trip--that is a spectacular achievment for an american car maker.
It gives a guy like me, who is somewhat forced to have a 4 door sedan, drive a car that has world class performance in every measure, loaded--for $70,000. Thats an option that just wasn't there a year or two ago.

+1 Well said.
While I would not trade my M3 for a CTS-V, it is because of cars like the CTS-V that BMW continues to make the m3 better. In the end, we all win!
