Just sayin' :)

Well the cg and defied physics makes me lean more toward Electronic Arts.

At least they tastefully left out Fosters can exhaust.

I've spent 25+ years as a tractor-trailer driver doing everything in my power to stop the rear (or any, for that matter) axle from breaking loose, so this would be a good thing for me. Feeling the ass-end come round is a horrible feeling and instinct almost always takes over and stops it, even when I'm in a car in the snow and know there's nothing to hit. And like jewce says below, cooking $500 worth of tires and not having the boss come out and fire you is almost worth another $500 in itself. I'm in.

@coupeZ600: I hear you. I spent quite awhile (although nowhere near 25 years) as a bus driver, most of it behind the wheel of 60-foot pusher artics. Feeling that huge engine block waggle that tail around on wet pavement was enough to swear me off oversteer forever... unless I'm on a skidpad with someone else's car. #mitsubishilancerevolution

@dal20402: One of the most nauseating experiences I've ever had while driving was feeling a big ten-wheel dump truck/snow-plow break loose at about 3mph in a total white-out. That's the crazy/fun/terrifying part of driving a highway plow-truck: the blade makes this totally flat and slick surface right in front of you, and the cinders/sand/salt that you're spreading only helps people behind you. You spend your whole shift working on one of the diciest surfaces possible, and when it comes loose it feels awful. Just the crown of the road had caused it, and after I was sure I was stopped, I just sat there several minutes until it eased up and I saw another plow coming at me. When I got up next to him, I realized it was the driver who had been right behind me, and I had spun a full 180 and was now going the other way. Scary.

I totally dig your writing style. I am thrilled at your addition to the Jalopnik team! I'd love to see some videos of a sideways evo with you at the helm. #mitsubishilancerevolution

As a homeschooling parent, I'm afraid this Evolution driving school doesn't suit my child's needs. Please let me know when the Intelligent Design driving school is offered. #mitsubishilancerevolution

As a 'Rex owner, I'd do this to learn more about the proper way to hoon a turbo AWD car. (Besides the usual "dirt road and a fifth of Jack" method...)

But $1000? That's really steep for a one-day class.

@Master P will teach you to die like a real man: Not really. I'm sure you bake a set of tires throughout the day. Knock off $500 for those and your about where most other single day schools are. #mitsubishilancerevolution

@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
