Yea, it's a horsepower track, but there are some technical sections in there. Nothing like the original Donnybrook layout at Brainard. Man, THAT one's a killer. #silervslutz

Didn't think the world would ever come to this. A septuagenarian in a Cadillac racing a intrawebs punk in an Evo X. I just thought about it and my mind can't still get around the fact.
Tell me this even a year ago and I would've laughed at you. A Cadillac against a Mitsubishi Evo. Crikey! #silervslutz
In spite of all the TMZ drama which has been going in this place lately about the semantics of the race, I for one can't wait for the results. Really looking forward to it. #silervslutz
Wes, this track presents all sorts of problems for you. You're not gonna out-accelerate Heinricy in a CTS-V with an Evo MR, which means you have to outbrake him, out-corner him, and get enough space doing it so he doesn't blow you off when things straighten out.
Your best shot might be Turn 18, cause you ought to be on his tail at the 17 hairpin, and the back straight isn't long enough to let him lose you completely before the braking contest at 18. Get by him there, and then the lateral G coming off 18 works for you as the lighter car, cause he might have to belly out a bit.
Then you have MAYBE the two next corners to build a little cushion and hope, cause after 20 he's gonna be coming, and you got no more moves left.
it would be a close race for the old CTS-V in my mind, the new one is just amazing. Friends from the states told me of when they ran into a new one at a track day event. They were amazed it was on stock tires and suspension. I take that seriously since one of my friends who attented owns an RS EVO with a few power mods and full suspension sitting on 4 Re 11 tires is now scrambling to sell his liver to buy a new V.
I mean i question myself if i would buy it over an M5, and thats already perfection in my mind so good luck with beating something greater then perfection #silervslutz
There has been some disappointment in this challenge, mostly on the side of other, unnamed auto makers... But major props to the Lutz for standing behind his company's product, and serious props to Wes, Ray and Jalopnik for keeping this going!

Hey wait a minute, isn't there another kink that can be added to the long straight? Get them to add that. #silervslutz

Ah. Simple.
(My mind was playing tricks, I thought it did look like a normal S)
Thanks. #silervslutz

If you're modded, then that might be a different story, but I think this car is stock, right? #silervslutz
