Well yeah, I would hope that a 270HP 3.5L V6 could motivate a car of its size with a CVT and modern suspension (and of course all the technology goodies) to a respectable finish against a 3.6L 311HP Euro sled from 26 years ago, LOL!
I mean look at the Mustang! We had a 225HP V8 back then, it now has a 425HP V8 of the same displacement
It is amazing just how quickly technology evolves.

Wonder how long before the CVT blows up from "race car" use

You mean like how Kia is real luxury?

Yeah, how crazy is that? I am driving a Cadillac with almost double the HP my 75 Camaro with a 350 had. Waaaay cool.
It's way faster and outhandles it on mountain roads too. My. 1966 Impala SS had more horsepower, but if I remember correctly, the Caddy is faster. The Chevy and Camaro could do some serious burnouts though. I keep playing the lottery so I can get a CTS V. A 560 hp Cadillac sport coupe. What?

That Impala would have been SAE GROSS though, so there's a fair bit lost (sometimes 30+%) when you convert it to NET, which is what your Caddy is measured in
