Apples against oranges. And, as mentioned, Ralph Gilles is a racer. I can't speak for the Caddy guy, but Ralph is a serious wheelman.

Also not mentioned here, but bragged about elsewhere, is the "reality" of a Hellcat mule with 800+ hp. Of all the people at FCA, who would most likely be the guy to put such a car through its pace, if it in fact exists?
How about how tacky it is for the CEO of company to target a guy out enjoying his CTS-V wagon on the track and then putting out the video like a kid posting a street racing kill?

If Ralph whats to impress, challenge Aaron Link to bring out a ZL1 or ship a Cat to Germany and run the Ring
