Who calls a Caddy an old man car while they're banging on about their chrysler?
Good job putting him in his place

Good kill. The CTS-V and SRT-8 is a really close race stock vs stock. The SRT-8 has the advantage off the line but from a roll it's a toss up.

Nice kill. That's a pretty good beating and if anything, HE has the old man car. What a doofus. What were his excuses? Don't bother telling him about the Diablo - he doesn't represent SRT-8s very well - or know either car.

Pretty much a driver's race from a roll. SRT-8 driver must know his gearing and hold the gear, as well as ESP off and NOT shift manually.

Doesn't the new V come with an AUTO? That thing is going to be downright sexy.

yea they made a great car a lot better. they did some testing at the ring and the v made it around in 7:59 beating the m5 by about 15 seconds a lap and got the fastest production sedan ever at the ring. bob lutz said it would blow the doors off an m5 and he did not lie.

Pretty heavy car too but pretty awesome. I'll be curious to see actual 1/4 mile times/trap speeds vs. the lighter M5 and E63.

Nissan seems to be playing games at the 'Ring with "Ringers" (pun intended) as well.

If that is true, not Youtube true, that is impressive to say the least. Im with Deuuce, I would love to see the traps on it. Hell, a CTS-V with 118-120mph traps will be insanity! NICE.

OP - what happened at the Caddy forms - I can't post on your kill story there.
