More hyperbole from your alternate reality. Let's look at the facts.

Boss 302
Car&Driver: 0-60, 4.2sec; 1/4mile 12.7 @ 114mph; 3641lbs Laguna Seca
Road&Track: 0-60, 4.0sec; 1/4mile 12.3 @ 115.8mph; 3621lbs Laguna Seca
MotorTrend: 0-60, 4.0sec; 1/4mile 12.4 @ 113.9mph; 3638lbs Laguna Seca
Car&Driver: 0-60, 4.3sec; 1/4mile 12.8 @ 113mph; 3666lbs
MotorTrend: 0-60, 4.0sec; 1/4mile 12.3 @ 115.9mph; 3621lbs

CTS-V
Car&Driver: 0-60 in 4.3, 12.6 1/4mile at 116.0mph, 4292lbs
Edmunds: 0-60 in 4.3, 12.4 1/4mile at 114.7mph, 4313lbs*
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 4.0, 12.4 1/4mile at 117.0mph, 4292lbs
Road&Track: 0-60 in 4.1, 12.3 1/4mile at 118.4mph, 4300lbs
Car&Driver: 0-60 in 3.9, 12.2 1/4mile at 119.0mph, 4268lbs*
Edmunds: 0-60 in 4.3, 12.5 1/4mile at 115.3mph
MotorWeek: 0-60 in 4.2, 12.5 1/4mile at 118.0mph
Road&Track: 0-60 in 4.1, 12.3 1/4mile at 118.8mph, 4130lbs
Road&Track: 0-60 in 4.2, 12.5 1/4mile at 115.3mph, 4360lbs

Boss: 0-60 in 4.1, 12.5 1/4mile at 114.5mph, 3637lbs
CTS-V: 0-60 in 4.1, 12.4 1/4mile at 116.9mph, 4279lbs winner, winner

While the Boss (2-seater track car) is faster than a CTS-V (luxury sedan) on a track, the straight-line speed favors the Cadillac. Nice try though.

So devoid of any actual facts or data, we are to assume that car X is faster than car Y? I thought you were better than this! Wow.
