Well it took a $135K car to beat the V2, story is all over the Net, here is one take:

HAHA Its seems like it always takes european cars so much more money to beat an American made BEAST!!! That Porsche looks bad *** though!

 

Yeah, but for a buck thirty-five I can get:

1) 2009 V2, Recaros, No Roof, No Nav
2) 2009 C6Z, loaded 'cept for Nav
3) #5 Value Meal at Mickey D's
4) 2 tankfuls of Mobil 93
5) Half a log of Skoal Straight
6) Liter of JWB

 

git er done!!!

 

haha... That thing looks badass!

 

I concur ADJ, could not have said it better myself!!

 

The soon-to-come M5, with a TT V10 should lower the bar at 'The Ring' for sedans. Of course AMG will have a 4-door in a couple of years to better that time.

 

Good for porsche. I wonder if Nissan is going to buy one and run the ring and see if it slows down by 4-5 seconds.

 

Yeah buddy!!!

 

Dethroned... no way! Thats like paying someone 2.5X's the price to get your yard done a minute quicker!

The 2009 CTS-V is still the fastest production sedan in the world under $132,599.

 

I like the way you think! If I was to drop 135K on a car it would be an exotic, and by exotic I mean NOT a 4 door Porsche.

 

That Porsche is maybe the ugliest car on the road today. Seriously.

 

Even uglier than the DCXChry300CSRT8/425TAXICab???

 

wasnt the the v2 time was done by john heinrecy (sp?) in an automatic....wait until a pro driver with a manual V hits the ring...I expect it to beat the super ugly panamera's time.

Even if it doesnt....who the hell would drive that ugly thing?

 

It's on par with the Aztek.

 

ha, i really wonder how many people would pay 130+ g's for a SEDAN even if it was the most beautiful car ever made....but tis not, its not attractive. so who the hell wants that thing. you could probably get a reallllllly nice S class for that kind of money. if i want something fast as hell on the Ring and a nice four door car, ill take a ZR1 and a G8GT lol not the same, i know, but its what i would do.

 

 

Dude, thanks for the night sweats...

 

That sounds like a lot of fun if you could afford it, and you could put your mother-in-law
in the back seat.

 

Someone with Andy Pilgrim's skills driving a manual with Pilot Sport Cups could get another 10 seconds off that time, if not more.
