Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon VS Nissan GT-R

Hennessey pits Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon against last year's Nissan GT-R

Hennessey is once again bringing its super station wagon out to the drag strip. The Texas tuner has taken Cadillac's 556-horsepower fast family- hauler and tweaked it so that the 6.2-liter V8 now produces 650 hp. We previously showed you how it fared against an (outdated) Porsche 911 Turbo, and now Hennessey has brought the CTS-V Sport Wagon back to the track, and this time, the opponent in the other line is driving a Nissan GT-R.

A 2011 Nissan GT-R to be more precise. The model that produces 485 horsepower and runs down Hennessey's track in 11.8-seconds. That's a hair slower than the 11.7-second run ripped off by the Sport Wagon - an amazing time for the 4,398-pound American muscle machine.

Pretty sure he was commenting on the VIDEO, not necessarily the car.

Yea, more car action less splash screen, all that info could of been on 1
10sec screen at the end, then have the other 90% of the vid be the cars racing. [no waterbox burn out shot, no head on launch shot, then a quick pan to the side, an over head finish line.... that kind of stuff should be over produced, not the splash screens]

You got 1:22 vid where you only see the cars quickly for 4-5 sec, and the race scene takes 17-18sec

24-25sec of seeing what the car can do, a good min of over produced fluff splash screens.

Fire your video maker before he start using star wipes

The cars should be the main focus of the vid with some info at the end.

[And I think you would be impressed if you drove my wagon

,
but its not what I was talking about. The wagon is cool]
