World's "fastest reacting suspension", Cadillac's first paddle mounted shift system, driveline designed to cope with power and torque no GM sedan has ever seen before (consider the weight, too), performance traction management system...you don't consider any of these features high tech or high risk?

That's a match you'd lose. Especially if you compare the last version CTS-V with either the E39 or E60 M5.

And with the caveat that my 401K/IRAs are now down enough so it's just not the time for such a move, yes, I'd buy one. Maybe in a couple of years when one comes off lease.

They might not be around in a couple years if they keep up the way they're going. On the positive side, you can probably get a hell of a deal on a new CTS-V if you're willing to roll the dice.
