The Cadillac ATS acceleration has been noted: Cadillac <\/a>says 5.4 sec 0-60 mph for the Cadillac ATS 3.6L V6.\u00a0 They do not note if that is with or without roll-out.<\/p>\n

On the drag strip run-out is the first distance — up to 12 inches — that the car can move before tripping the timing lights.\u00a0 Some magazines measure acceleration with, some without roll-out.\u00a0 I prefer if both with and without values are stated so there is no confusion.<\/p>\n

Cadillac ATS Acceleration depends on light weight<\/h2>\n

The Cadillac ATS is a new breed of high-tech, light-weight Cadillacs.\u00a0\u00a0 The advantage of this lean, sporting approach is that the Cadillac ATS acceleration should be very good.<\/p>\n

Cadillac ATS Acceleration depends on efficient power delivery<\/h2>\n

The Cadillac ATS will be offered with 3 power plants — an economic yet surprisingly capable 2.5L Four, a 2L Turbo Four for 272 hp, and the 3.6L V6 for 321 hp.\u00a0 The V6 is the engine quoted in the press release.\u00a0 We don’t know yet the equivalent performance for the 2L Turbo.<\/p>\n

Competition improves the breed<\/h2>\n

How does that compare with the competition<\/a>?<\/p>\n
