It's a Good thing for Johnny I didn't show up in my V... He would've been walking outta the place crying like a lil baaaaby.

The only sedan I think that will take on the CTS-V is the Porsche Panamera TURBO.. and only because of it's launch control from a start. After that... I think Cadillac would have it all the way

There would'nt a doubt in my mind who would win this one.

TheCaptain · 10-30-2009, 01:00 AM

CTS V for the win! The only way to beat a GM, is with another GM!

LSXgirl · 10-30-2009, 12:02 PM

Lol I have some moron saying the first 3 don't count since they're professional drivers hahaha.

G8GT4now · 10-30-2009, 02:50 PM

None of it counts since no AMG or Porsche showed up.

So the CTS-V is faster than an EVO? Didn't we already know that?

And since Lutz lost to the M3, I'd say BMW won the event.

But the fact that they didn't offer their cars for the event also says something too, doesn't it? I mean, wouldn't it be a huge PR coup for them if they came out and won at this 'Bob Lutz invitational'? As for Lutz not getting the best time, well the tagline for GM right now is "may the best car win"
