Default CTS-V Vs. BMW 550

I rarely get any street challenges in the Cadillac, wonder why? LOL

Ended up at a light beside a 5 series. Light goes green I make a point of pulling out "briskly" and he follows. He gasses it more, so do I. He goes full throttle, so do I. At this point I'm in second, when it downshifts I get 30 feet of rubber with some fishtailing. Caught traction and pulled away. When I lifted at 70 I had cars on him. All in fun, we gave thumbs up and parted ways.

Nice easy kill. Had to be either he had no clue what you had, or he just wanted to see you go because he knew you were way out of his league. Either way fun for you eh?

Only at high altitude. With a 7,000 foot DA (down 22%+ on power) she ran a best of 11.8x @ 118 mph.
