He obviously has enough left in the tank to issue a public challenge and turn it into a big event like he did

So a developer is now a professional driver? Didn't know that Aaron Link got paid to drive. I thought he got paid to design/create...

Good point. They'll spin it any way they want to make their misleading claims against the CTS-V!

If that is true, then I would think it would be faster. It would be lighter than the current block, and the twin turbos would yield extraordinary amounts of torque, more than the CTS-V. Hp is more useful for top end, so they might be even at the top end (150+), but the M5 will probably get there much faster with those twin turbos...

Oh? Who went around the Nurburgring in a faster time?

And it's definitely not Volkswagen.
