Definitely. And 12.99 is the best time I have heard yet on a CTS-V.

He sounds like a tool, it looks like he was just waiting to throw a comment like "Cobra lovers" or some **** like that.

he WAS posting in the cts-v section, wasn't he? so what if he wants to throw some jabs at the Cobra? i fail to see the problem with a little blue oval dis on a gm site. nothing against them personally, but if he were a typical troll, wouldn't he be coming on to bash ls1s or something?

The problem is that he's writing checks that his engine can't cash.

You don't talk **** about a car that is going to beat you 9 times out of 10 unless you are a moron, or are a glutton for punsihment.

I also highly question his claimed 12.99 out of the CTS-V.

at least he didn't claim 12.7 like gm did.......by the way, the only "checks" he wrote with his "engine" are that he beat his brother's cobra, which obviously could be the driver....other than that, i still don't find a problem saying "GIVE IT TO THE COBRA (BS) LOVERS TO THINK THAT THERE FASTER THAN THE REST.HAHAHAHAHA" on a freaking gm board......he showed one instace were that wasn't true(even if it was the driver), so he figured he's share it....wtf?

Name a car that 50K and under thats faster then the cobra, aside of the z06? Not to many. Im not all over the Cobra like most ford guys are its a great car and fast outta the box but IMO its too heavy and I don't like the IRS at all. But you have to give respect when its due and w/ the 03-04 cobra bone stock should get alot of credit. Its also funny when anyone with a MODDED cars says well a "stock" cobra ain't all that. For a stock car it is!

Sorry rant off .

BTW how much does a cts-v weigh?

i don't think i accused you of knocking ls1s, but i guess you're gonna think whatever you want regardless of what is actually written........what good is communicating if i say 4 and you hear 10? oh well......
