well i have a total of 3 autocross events under my belt with my 04 CTS-V, with a total of 4 events ever with any car. Im a newbie when it comes to autocross, my first event I ran was with PCA at Zephyrhills back in March or April this year with an E36 M3. Coming from drag racing (had an 03 Kenne Bell Cobra) this is an absolute blast, and I find myself improving after every lap and every event. I learn something new at each event, and I find this a hobby that I can continually improve at and get faster without even touching the car.

I honestly never thought I'd autocross the CTS-V, and did not purchase it for that reason at all, I just wanted a comfortable yet powerful daily driver that could handle decent. This thing has pleasantly suprised me. I ran it first at Brooksville, noticed that everything on the car was great, but the body roll could definitely use some tending-to. First set of mods were Hotchkis sway bars with z06 end-links, H&R race springs and UUC SS brake lines with ATE super blue. The sways and springs together really keep the car planted, with a little bit more understeer where the car tends to push into the turns a bit now if I carry too much speed. Right now my biggest issue is traction, and am strongly considering picking up some R compounds and a set of Team Dynamics wheels (one of the only companies that makes the 6 lug wheels for the 04-07 CTS-Vs).

The best part of this is coming to an event and seeing the look on peoples face when you roll up to the line in a Cadillac. I had one person at Brooksville ask "is this a rental?", lol, I think she posts on here (has a red Hatch)

Anyways, I thought I would share some pics and vids with you all. This past weekend I was with PCA at Zephyrhills and finished with a best time of 47.506, about mid-pack.
