Default CTS-V Vs. Z06, X5M, and others

We have a closed off road we call Canada and a good group of cars came out to play. I brought my pulley/tune CTS-V because a bud wanted to run it against his new BMW M5 super sedan. We ran three times from 40 to 120 or higher, I won all three by about 1 1/2 cars.

Here's a link to a thread of most of the cars getting a run or two (alas, none with the M5):

My closest race was the vid against a stock C6Z06. Power/weight he should have won, but I think my tranny tuned automatic is just quicker shifting than he was.

Enjoy

Confusing title name because the X5M is a souped up version of the X5 SUV.

Yes it is. There's vids of it racing. I also raced an M5. From a roll I beat them both. The X5M beat me from a dig, it has a great launch control.

X5M's are sweet. I would take that all day long over a Jeep SRT8, even though the new Jeep's are sweet. I have a buddy with the X6M and another buddy with a 2013 Jeep SRT8. So sweet!
