I think the Mach may do a hair better on top end against a CTS-V than my GT. Especially if said Mach had some 4.10s. I could be wrong about that depending on the scenario.

I'm pretty sure USMC can drive his Mach into 13.3/4s. He'll take most CTS-V's just due to skill. Other than that it's pretty much a fair race. Most drive V's into mid 13s.

I agree completely. I think the SRT-8 cars, the CTS-V, and the Mach are all pretty close matches. Of course the SRT-8 and the Caddy should be able to pull on paper, it always comes down to the conditions and the drivers themselves. I trapped 109.9 in my Mach on a cool 40 degree night with the mods in my sig, and my current GT has trapped 106 on a 90 degree day with similiar mods, so maybe the GT can hang on top end with the above cars? I can't make a call at this point with the limited experience/time I've had with it.

I need to find another Caddy, and get a good clean run with it. I'd love to know where the GT stands as is. For all I know, the one I ran had a tune, or a tune and intake, or whatever else. He definitely had at least a badass cat-back, but knowing the scene around here, he most likely had more than one mod.

I think the record pass for a CTS-V is like 13.0 @ 109mph.. nice run man.

Sounds about right, though if you point that out to any of the guys on LS1Tech that own a CTS-V they swear their cars are mid 12s stock and can run down mid - low 12 second cars like nothing

I lucked up and got some info on the Caddy I ran. Come to find out, he lives on the same street as my boss, lol! Small world. Anyway, he has a tune, intake, and a catback. My boss didn't know how much power it made, but I can testify that its pretty stout.

my highest trap is 104.7 so right at 105, so by trap i don't have the torque to take him off a higher roll say anymore than a 40mph, but from a dig i think i could easily put him in my mirrors, but of course this is all just speculation until i actually have the chance to do it.

U need to get yourself some 4.10s one of these days, Rebel. You will see your trap jump considerably. I went from 105-6 mph with 3.55s to 107-109.9 with 4.10s.
