This picture is why I won't be driving my new Caddy to work tomorrow. About 2 hours after taking the first pictures this white **** started falling from the sky. Don't try to tell me it's snow either because it doesn't snow here in VA.
BTW Nineball, what are the chances of getting a CTS-V section under "Specialty Vehicle Forums"? Probably won't be many of us posting but still. Only 3,500 to 4,000 will be built in total.

I got a chance to drive one at my work, black/black loaded......
Very nice, the shifter throws are about a mile long.........
Hauls *** and goes no where when the TCS is off...........the brakes are a very nice touch.....
Have you tested out the G-force meter on the dash yet?

BIGBOS,
You're exactly right! With the TC off it's like being on ice. The crazy part is the GY F1 runflats are quietly spinning (from inside the car anyway) the dual exhaust is growling and the only indication you have that something is amiss is the bouncing tach. The 'g' meter is a nice touch and one of the pictures shows my 1.07 and .93 peak loads. Huge smile while I was achieving those BTW.
Dmnspd,
I may just do that! Actually I already have, I just don't have video of it.

I love everything about it, from the styling, to the ZO6 engine, to the fact that it's a Cadillac, and that it threatens BMW elitists.
Fantastic car.

C&D got horrible acceleration and lap times out of their CTS-V due to a tire going flat, the oil monitor falsely stating the oil was overheating, and bad rear axle hop at launch.
Are you experiencing any axle hop while launching the car?
