Default Killed by a CTS-V

Well it was a beautiful day so my friends and I decided to take a trip to the beach. On our way back we came up on a black CTS-V. I had 3 passengers and the top down and he had 2 passengers. We went twice from 65-110ish and both times he'd jump out a half car, i'd pull that back when he shifted, then he'd proceeded to put a car on me. Both cars stock. Two good races. So how much of a difference does it make having the top down going from 65-110? I would be interested to find out how i'd do with less passengers and the top up.

It would've probably been an even race with the same weight and top up.

Yea but the guy in the v could be watching a movie and getting his butt heated(if its cold) while he stays dead even with ya

Good death....there is no shame in losing to another lsx vehicle

No need to put other factors into the race story... like TV and butt warmers. F-body could have those installed as well, but they have no outcome on the race therefore should not even be mentioned

let me try to understand this for a second.... both cars are stock? I thought a CTS-V would beat a stock LS1 Fbody from any speed, not to mention a vert with an extra passenger.. pretty impressive given the power v weight you were up against, I would've thought the V would've pulled you harder? I thought the only trouble the V had was launching?

Toms River? I was coming home from seaside when I raced the V (parkway north). As to V's always beating F-bodies, maybe he needed a driver mod and didn't hit his shifts well
