First gen 2006 CTS-V vs 2 GTRs and a new Jag [ no vids yet :( ]
There was 2 GTRs.
First one was gray GTR, unknown mods. 40 roll and 60 roll, both of us had a passenger if memory serves. Got him by about 3 cars from 40, by about 3+ from 60. He was definitely surprised that the old caddy moved out the way it did.
Second GTR was white, unknown mods but said he made 650whp. 40 and 60 roll. I had passenger, he didn't. 40 roll, I spun and he jumped like 2 cars, I tried to pull back but I was dead in the water. He slaughtered me by over a bus length. 60 roll, the hit was dead even, door to door up to around 100mph and I went to shift into 4th and couldn't get into gear. He disappeared at that point, and I realized I lost all clutch feeling. Clutch pedal was extra light with no resistance and no feel. No longer working, I had to rev match rpm and speed to slip into gears and drove home from mexico back by pushing into gears and hoping for the best. Good thing it was like 3am and not mid-day. I would have had to get a tow.
During these runs, I got a race in with a Jaguar I'd never seen before. New XKR. Apparently around 510hp? I would say he faired about the same as the gray GTR if not a bit better. Def didn't expect him to hold on as well as he did.
I'm working on obtaining the videos from my passenger... who is the owner of the GTR I beat in the previous thread I made.
My GoPro memory card ended up corrupting and didn't save any videos.

Sounds like a fun night except for your clutch being gay. Lol

LOL Def was. I think I blew the pressure line out somewhere from the master to the slave.
@2StepsAhead - If you see this thread, this was the night I invited you to. Was raining in the city, but we drove out until it cleared up and then ran on dry land. Def was some nasty cars there.
