Default Two kills!

I was really looking for trouble last night and was determined to get a run in before I headed back home. So I went to a local stretch of road where every one goes to race. I allmost gave up as I was finding no prey for the V.
As luck would have it I'm coming up to a light and I see a yellow 05+ Saleen and EVO. I was behind the Saleen and when the light turned green I let the EVO and Saleen run and proceed to follow quickly behind them. The EVO botched the launch and Saleen took the win.
At the next light I was once again behind the Saleen and EVO was next to me on my driver side. He ask if I could hold back and let him get next to the Saleen so they could run again. I say sure! He asked is that the Caddy with LS6 engine and I replied yep and it's all stock. Well the road opens up to a 3 lane and we all get side by side and start from a 2 gear 45-50mph roll. I walked hard on the Saleen and the EVO. The EVO keeps going and me the Saleen pull next to each other and have light talk and give props to each others nice clean rides and then I proceed to whoop him again (4+ lenghts) from 50 to 110mph.
I wave goodbye and get ready to turn around when I see the EVO in front doing the same ( waiting for me!!) So We let traffic clear and pull out together at a 10mph roll, he says go on the 3rd honk. So 1,2,3 and I'm off in front in all 4 gears. I'd say I had him by and easy 5-6 lenghts by 100mph.
I slow down and he is laughing hard in disbeleif that the "Caddy" runs so well. I followed him to a local hangout spot and talk with the guy. It was an 05 all stock EVO. And the Saleen was a 325hp stage 2.

thanks for reading!

Never seen one of those cts-v caddy's, but have heard that they can run.

Seem's like they might be a 12 sec car stock, but I don't know.

"IF" you could get one to hook without blowing up the rear I'm sure there would alot more 12.99 V's running around. I've only taken my V once to the track this summer and it ran a 13.7 @ 105 with a 2.2 60ft and spinning/wheelhop on all shifts. Most run in the 13.3-13.5 range @ 105-108mph stock. I'm sure mine would run low 13s in the right air and a good launch.
