The first generation CTS had serious wheelhop problems. They redesigned the whole rear suspension to eliminate wheelhop. I have heard it was much better and from looking at the way that car launches it seems to be!

3rd gen vs $70,000 CTS-V, I am quite sure they have made improvement sin suspension technology since then. I believe they made MAJOR changes to the control arms after the last generations problems. Having not seen underneath in person though I don't know how beefy it actually is, supposedly the new rear suspension it VERY strong on the V

true but its also a lot easier to stabilize a SRA than IRS and it was more to just give an idea of the force applied to things
