Nearly every major media outlet has pitted the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/cts-v-coupe">Cadillac CTS-V Coupe</a> against the best and brightest from the high-powered sports coupe segment, and thus far, the results have been predictable. <em>Motor Trend </em>brought the supercharged Caddy coupe to Germany for a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/30/video-double-bill-c-d-and-mt-pit-cadillac-cts-v-coupe/">full-scale battle</a> against the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3">BMW M3</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/s5">Audi RS5</a>, while <em>Car & Driver</em> brought the three sleds together for a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/30/video-double-bill-c-d-and-mt-pit-cadillac-cts-v-coupe/">entertaining track tango</a> with ear-bleeding audio.<br />
<br />
<em>Road & Track</em> have taken another tack with CTS-V Coupe, opting for an all-American drag-race of the 556-horsepower Cadillac against the 550-horsepower <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500">2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang</a>. The GT500 and the CTS-V Coupe are made within 100 miles of one another in southeast Michigan and two vehicles are within .3 inches of one another in overall length. The CTS-V Coupe has 41 more pound-feet of torque, while the Mustang is lighter. But which vehicle posts a better 0-60 time? How about the fastest quarter mile? <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/04/video-cts-v-coupe-vs-the-world-continues-with-shelby-gt500/">Hit the jump</a> to find out.<br />
