CTS-V vs. XLR-V(07)=heart attack
Well long story short im leaving a car show and a 70 year old man driving im guessing an 07 due to the 06-06 black center caps is in front of me. We line them up from about 45 and i open the bottle. Go figure no nano and the pressure is only 800. So im like what the hell. We take off and i poull about a 1/2 car and hit 3rd and the *** end completely slides out from underneath(but puckers at this point) stability control comes on the nav screen and i obviously shut down about 1 1/2 cars ahead. Lets just say i unarmed thew system ad went the speed limit haha. Short race but the XLR ran good, only downfall for it was the auto or it would have been a better race IMO. Hopefully ill run into him again when i have loing tubes and a cam next month.
Now its time to browse for some stock size drag radials lol. My guess is the intial hit had a little air in the lines still cause I didnt have time to purge.

Went to dragtimes.com, here is what they got, all claim to be stock, none have attached time slips or vids:
1/4 Mile ET: 12.669
1/4 Mile MPH: 108.960
1/8 Mile ET: 8.127
1/8 Mile MPH: 86.870
0-60 Foot ET: 1.911
Temperature F: 58.0
1/4 Mile ET: 12.710
1/4 Mile MPH: 112.310
1/4 Mile ET: 13.010
1/4 Mile MPH: 110.110
I dunno, first run seems like a freak, as mph seems too low. The other two do not have breakdowns, a 12.7sec is faster than I thought they could run.

The 4L60E has been well into the 9's several times, yes the trans is FAR from awesome but for sub 650rw its a good package i think
The 4L80E is one of the best transmissions ever built. Stock they handle over 700rw and built can handle whatever you throw at them. Rossler has several 1500+ hp cars with 80e's in them.
Depending on the converter combo an auto car can be a monster from a roll, and some of us like dig racing. An auto would make the rear end in the V last for much longer imo if properly setup

I agree, not even sure what tranny comes in the XLR-V. I know autos can roll out froma roll i was just saying in this case it didnt help him. The 4l60E held up well in my SS and it sure would help the V in the 1/4 but it just wouldnt be as fun. Maybe if it was as crisp as the C6's are witht he paddle shifters.
