According to information I have read yes, they are faster. They are reputed to be a 100 mph 1/4 mile car dipping below 14 seconds. I guess that's pretty normal nowadays for a performance car. My SIL's new Maxima can do that too. I always liked my Buicks and the V8 is a must. This would be a third family car. 

There is one in MacGregor MB but they don't answer the ad. Just missed one by hours in Barrie ON last week. I've search Kijiji nation wide, there are 3 for sale, only one is black. Two in Manitoba funny enough, MacGregor and Thompson.

I will certainly offer to check out the one in MacGregor for you (about 2 hours) but I'm afraid you're on your own for the Thompson unit!

Much Appreciated Carl ! Thompson is wrong colour but probably a better car....I've been to Thompson, we're getting up there, one of my most enjoyable flights ever just above the trees in a two engine prop. 

Don't underestimate the value of on line communications, I got contacted by two dealers on this, Dean Myers Chevrolet  and Lindsay Buick. I was impressed by these two guys hustling to make a sale, no Allure Super but very nice Allures CXL.

Oh, you GOTTA buy a Super! A CXL is just another plain old W car, great cars, but nothing to compare with the V8.

 That's what I told them  nice guys though.

Did they contact you as a result of your post on here?

 Yup thanks, saw that one, its silver 

"To augment my fleet of Cadillacs:

WANTED - 2008 or 2009 Good condition 5.3 V8 Buick Allure / Lacrosse Super Sedan. Prefer Black in colour will consider Mocha metallic. 150,000 km or less. This model was designed by the GM Performance Division that was responsible for the Cadillac V series cars and it comes with many Cadillac technologies and features. Very low production, especially for sale in Canada badged as Allure SUPER. Reputed to to be the fastest Buick production car ever made. Please PM if you know of one or have one for sale."

I work with the client this past summer who has one of these cars in black.  We talked about it in a parking lot while we were waiting for someone else to arrive.  I seem to recall he was thinking about upgrading, so I will try to dig up his number and ask if the cars for sale here in British Columbia.  He did say it was a quick car but his complaint with it is the front wheel drive set up-  if my memory serves me.  I could relate, since I've owned a number of Cadillac STS and DTS models, and although they have been nice and somewhat peppy cars,  I found the excessive torque steer downright scary at times when pushing the performance a bit in traffic!  Anyhow, I'll try to contact this guy and see if his car is available. I remember it being in almost new condition and I think it was very pampered.

BTW-  these might be the fastest you ever ever made in top and speed, but they are not the quickest. Both the Grand National and '70 Stage 1  cars were quicker 0-60 and in the quarter-mile. 

G8 GT and never look back Ray.

Have you had a ride in one?

I know you're bigger than me but I'm 6'1" and it's one of the best fitting cars I've ever had. Plus it's a riot to drive and pretty decent on fuel. My wife says best car we've ever owned in almost 30 years.

You could also get a Grand Prix with the 5.3. It was called the GXP

 I have a line on one of those too, its clean and priced well. The short list is Super, GXP, SS either Impala or Monte Carlo.

It may have to be the GXP, pretty easy to find. 

Kijiji people are weird, I found a Super and sent three emails, no reply and an SS no reply.
