    @Al Navarro: I know exactly how you feel. I drove my friend's CTS-V last december, sport suspension button + sport transmission setting, drove it in some twisty turns, 2 months later, I own one. how the hell can you pass up something this good is waay beyond me. I had to get a 4-door sedan with decent quality and good power, the equal or even weaker competition was usually 10-20 grand higher. You should check out the modded CTS-Vs mine is and I would confidently say that I could wipe the floor with a Panamera Turbo in a drag strip.

    On another note, the slowest CTS-V is a forum member in cadillacforums. That was his first time to EVER step foot on a track. He asked the M3 guy If he's ever done any racing before or attended any driving schools, and he was tight lipped about it. He later asked M3 guy's father and brothers and they said that he frequently races and attends racing schools every summer. He also said that he would put him some where below Pro, but DEFINITELY not a newbie to this kind of thing. Remember never to underestimate someone from the playstation generation :O

    You should lurk around M3post and cadillacforums to get their perspectives of the story. Just saying. #silervslutz

    I love this. I wish there was no lollercopter so the exhaust notes/tire errrrts! could be heard more clearly, but still, this is awesome. It's so difficult to tell how fast a car is going or appreciate the speed on video (NASCAR's casual looking 180mph for example); how fast do you think Max, Wes, and the CTS-V caning guy are going around the corner featuring hiphop corner worker? #silervslutz

    Thanks for the car porn. I saw that Caddy coupe at the NAIAS and fell head over heels.

    I hope the production model comes as pillarless hardtop, if so, all that's left is for me to fill in the amount on the check. #silervslutz

    As a member of the over 60 club, I send my heart-felt best wishes and a respectful "thank you" to Maximum Bob Lutz. He fearlessly stepped up when lesser men would have hid in the shaddows and ripped the competition without mercy.

    God bless you, Maximum Bob....for you are a true man and an inspiration to us all. #silervslutz

    Big ups to GM for doing this. I'm an Audi guy and probably always will be, but Cadillac and GM have gotten a ton of street cred with me for this.

    This all probably cost less than one TV ad placement in a high rated primetime show. Probably biggest marketing ROI of anything they'll do all year.

    OK other car execs! Time to step up...

    Carlos Ghosen? And no, you can't drive the GTR. #silervslutz

    not sure how 5th place constitutes a "win" ...especially when the "kid in the m3" stated the CTS-V was a faster car than his own M3 #silervslutz

    What are you talking about? The top 3 drivers were pros. M3 Guy was the top amateur...and yes, he did remark to me that "I could probably have picked up 2-3 seconds" in the CTS-V vs. his M3 on the Monticello track. #silervslutz
