I was on my way home from a date, when i look over my left shoulder and see a black Cadillac. and when it rolled by me, i heard him rev up on me...and laughed out loud to my girlfriend. anyways, as i looked at the Cadillac...i realized it wasn't the ordinary CTS. it was the CTS-V. we were cruising side by side at about 30mph. after a couple million times of him downshifting and jumping ever so slightly...i figured, okay im almost to my girls house, lemme give it a short go see what this guy has in this stupid lil caddy. so i downshifted and he downshifts right after me...we start going and he gains ground on me to about a car length. we only went up to about 70-75mph. so if he gained a car length thru a short 30-40mph blast...imagine if we really went at it and i didnt have to get home. so anyways i slowed down and made a right turn. i was shocked, cause when he took off the engine sounded amazing, and heard the intake loud and clear. i looked over to my girl like, damn that shit was fast. she was like "maybe he fixed it up or something." i was embarassed cause i just got my ass handed to me by a cadillac and even worse it was with a female in the passenger side.

well i got home, and was still in shock, and checked up the stats on that damn CTS-V...turns out, it cranks out 400hp from the corvette LS6!!!!!!! when i saw that, i immediately thought that the guy was just f'ing with me. i think he coulda pulled even harder if he wanted too.

the moral of the story is...NEVER race a cadillac V series! lol. they look like normal sedans, but they pull hard. 0-60 in about 4.6! its basically an american M-5.

 

EDIT: never race a CTS-V until you go FI

 

^ i agree...but i didnt really know what it had under the hood before i raced it. thought it was just some higher performance cadillac. when its really a C6 vette in a tuxedo.

 

YUP, I remember seeing one at a dealer when they first came out.....really expensive!....well, at least for me

I would like to see a real-life 0-100 race sometime.....but my thoughts are the chances of that happening are lesser than if I won the powerball this week.

 

I'll see what I can do about that 0-100. A friend of mine has one and I should be visiting him sometime this summer in the S.

They definitely aren't slow. They can't compare to the 'vette, but 400hp will push even a brick pretty quickly.

 

I had a thread posted about a month ago... My freind's dad was drunk and let me drive his cts-v all night. We ran a vette and beat it. That thing is seriously no ****ing joke. The torque was amazing. And we got alot of looks also, and the stereo was was amazing also....

 

You've got to know your cars. There are some factory sleepers out there.

 

Maggied ones are even faster, their problems are their diffs. They make ours look like they are made of Titanium

 

funny you should say that. my buddy took his to the track and snapped his axle. I wish I could give you more info on what exactly he broke, but something back there snapped hardcore. i dont get why gm cant put good shi t back there like ford does, grrrr

 

why not race them, they are bouts until they reach higher speeds. i ran my buddies cts-v from a 60 roll and we were dead even until 100-105 where he started creeping away. the pull isn't insanelly crazy, but it's pretty quick.
