I don't know if any of you saw this video of Larry (GNXS) running an 11.7x in his new CTS-V but I thought I would share it:

I haven't seen that video but I did see a new CTSV at bryon with the Speed INC crew a few weeks ago running 14's all day long.

what are the factory 1/4 mile times for the car?

Thats interesting since they should run low 12's stock. Maybe it was a 6 speed and the guy did not know how to drive.

Larry has since run an 11.5 in this car!

Damn those cars can scoot!

Its amazing what a supercharger and wheel-hopless axles will do to a family winter beater...

Was this a V1 or V2?

 

[The Broken Regal]

I was there and so was panda, CTS-V , brand new v2, running 14.1 @ 101... the guy didnt even have to wear his helmet after a couple runs apparently

looked sick, took off pretty good, but then it got to the end of the track and we were like wtf!?!?

Was it auto or stick?

 

[Yaj Yak]

even if it was auto... i thought those were quicker than mid 12s...

 

[blakbearddelite]

I think Turk meant he thought it was a good chance this was a manual car and the driver was terrible at stick, but he wasn't sure if it was auto or stick.

My auto runs 12.0X's, so I don't think an auto is really a negative thing.

I think the wagon is a mistake... and now they are going to offer a V Series version of the wagon!!!

From FQuick:

Earlier in July, Bob Lutz confirmed that the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is on the way with a possibility of a CTS-V Sport Wagon. It was later confirmed by an ‘inside source’ that CTS-V lineup will be extended to the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon. Today, CARandDRIVER is reporting that Bob Lutz has confirmed a production CTS-V Sport Wagon, bringing more validity to the report.

An excerpt from CARandDRIVER:
“You know what’s really going to get you guys [on board with wagons] is the CTS-V wagon.”

“Oh, has the wagon been confirmed?” we asked, already aware that the hot-rod CTS would also be available as a coupe. “Yes,” he replied, “You’ll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want.”

i dislike the wagons aesthetics as well.. .but the thing is getting very good reviews it seems from what i have seen... and people in our demographic are pretty far from who that ccar is marketed towards i would like to assume.

i forgot what show i just saw with it on it, but they were humping it pretty well.

Ugly. And I love wagons.

This was the new CTS-V at Byron (11/8) with Speed INC running 14's.

It was some old dudes, I asked him what the deal was and he said he "just got it". It was a 6-speed.

 

[KaMaSuTrA]

A V1 with its bullshit runflats and crippling wheel hop can run a better time than that guys V2...driver mod needed ASAP.

Auto>stick when it comes to drag racing. Especially the new autos with 6 speeds.

Yes, the one in the video is an Auto.


Did you guys see the mph in the picture of the 14 second V? Obviously something was going on with the driver for it to be crossing at that mph.
