Stock CTS-V 3, New Modded EVO 1. As I was waiting at an offramp stoplight, a new Evo w/ dealer plates rolled up. I asked the guy if he wanted to run. Him and his passenger's eyes lit up and nodded in approval. I asked what he had done, and he said full exhaust and computer work. I told him that I was stock.
Light turned and there was a long sweeping turn into the straightaway. Every shift the car was losing crazy power and he was pulling away from me #@@!$#%!!! I forgot to turn the traction control off
I lost because of stupidity.
We slowed down and I convinced him to go from a roll w/o my TC on. Each time it was ugly. 3 times in a row I put multiple lengths on him and he just hit the brakes and gave up. Last time he said he couldn't honk his horn and shift at the same time.
Anyway, after it was all over, he told me he had 415 crank hp (which I say BS to), because even though he had a passenger in the car, his car was still lighter than mine and I shouldn't have walked away from him like that IMO. Good race for me nonetheless....but this damn wheel hop is still killin' me! I need to get that BMR kit on ASAP.

Nice kill. Sounds like the kid didn't know what he was talking about. That would equal about 340-350 whp. lol. Nice 90hp increase with just a TBE and tune 
. I am suprised you pulled him that easily though, 9's are pretty fast stock. I love the new CTS-V's though so good job.

In recent tests the Evo IX out sprinted a C6 Z51 manual, in 0-100mph, 0-60mph and 0-100-0.
In stock trim they have some 330-340bhp (UK).

good kill on the driver.
evo 9's with just those mods have broken over 300 awhp on low reading dynos, and run high 12's in stock form.
especially with 3800 lbs compared to 3200 lbs. Definitely a kill on the driver.
