the 1st im able to drive in a long time and i have a brand new black caddilac CTS-V driving next to me, pacing me to run. the light coming up is red so i start to slow down, i hear him rev at me. the light turns before we get to a dead stop and we both go from around 10mph roll, 1st gear we are even, 2nd gear he pulls a 1 car on me, 3rd hes pulled another 1/2 car, and is slowly pulling but we had to let off about 80mph due to traffic coming up. hes prob about 1 1/2 to 2 cars ahead when we let off. i didnt get a chance to talk to the guy but i was very impressed with the power that thing had. i come and do some research on the cadillac and come to find out stock it has a LS6 ZO6 motor in it :whoa: dont feel so bad losing now since i now know it has a ZO6 motor in it. i never knew those motors were an option in that car. very nice car

Come on, Intake and exhaust isn't going to add that much over stock...
The Lingenfelter High Performance CTS-V Air Intake provides an easy to bolt-on 10 hp gain.
Borla maybe gets another 10 tops...
Or maybe it is this car...

The car stock puts down 340 rwhp... I will give you 370 rwhp with the mods...
30HP difference at the wheels then over stock... still...

whoever said it's fun to lose to a nice car is an idiot. It's never fun to lose. The racing might have been fun but not the loss. Especially to a caddy. fadedSTi you'll get him next time.
I love those CTS Type V's... I would rock the hell out of one. When I went to pick up our Cadillac (company car) in Jacksonville about 6-8 months ago I was talking to some of the salesmen about them. Got a good laugh when I asked one of the guys if it was pretty quick and he said he got a ticket for 110 on an on-ramp.

i would like a dig run, i think it will be closer. i just dont mind losing to something like that. he has more power than me and twice the motor. its all for fun. it was a badass car. black on polished wheels.

Meh, I don't mind losing. My favorite race so far was a loss against a good friend of mine. Usually I jump off the line 2 cars or so and get reeled back in on the top end, makes for a good race. It's all for fun.

he has like three brothers or cousins. one drives a '03 cobra, one drives a lightening, and then he drives that. they are kinda asses and think they are alot faster than they are. i could get ahold of him if you really want through a friend.

i raced the same guy one time. i also thought he was spanish. he had a girl in the car with him and he was taunting me on erhlich. he tailgated me, revd the motor. he gave me a real a arogant(sp) look. we caught the next light and it was on. needless to say. i whipped his ass. my son was laughing his ass off. we went a couple more time same result. the guy seemed like an ass. i knew the cars were fast, but i was surprised by it performance.
The CTS-V has pretty bad traction and wheelhop issues on the stock tires.. You could probably take his lunch money from a dig.

Nice death. The end result would have probably been the same from a dig, just a closer run;)

My dads got an 04 cts, hes going to upgrade the caddy to the cts v this summer! cant wait to drive it. The regular cts is a decently quick car.It has great pick up, and yet a great looking car.

brett....I drive an LT1, I've gotten plenty of time to practice on having fun

you're right though, it's more fun to beat a nice car, because they always
seem to have the largest egos
