    Cadillac CTS-V

    Left work early, the CTS-V pulled out from the dealership's corporate office and I found myself next to him at the light. I have to say he sounded pretty good. The exhaust note was throaty, I heard a couple of gear change barks and he was pretty quick. The sound dimished rather quickly...........

    Turns out he wasn't quick enough.


    That is all.

                Yeah, some times you have to put the rich boys in their place- Nice cars, and, from what I have seen so far, they don't hold the value as much as the Corvette does- I have been day-dreaming about getting a corvette drive-train wrapped in some pretty nice luxury-

                  Funny thing about the whole scenerio is that I went with a more mild combo to make this a sweet driving steet car. Had this still been the race motor and big turbo, I wouldn't have even heard him. LMAO! I would have been viewing him in the rearview mirror within a second. That combo wasn't really that street friendly. Between the higher stall converter and the touchy nature of the power application it was more of a track car than anything else. I'm really much happier this time around, I can actually enjoy this thing in traffic with the windows up and the A/C blowing cold, the power comes on smooth and linear and off you go with no drama. Plus it still eats up ground at an alarming rate for a street car.

                      That would be interesting. With my current turbo and high octane gas, it's good for about 550 HP. With slicks or drag radials, I would most likely hold him off through the quarter. At some point, the aerodynamics and gearing would come into play, then it would only be a matter time before he would drive past me. These Buicks were meant to be sprinters, not top speed demons. In the corners, he should eat me alive.
