Default couple runs with a CTS-V

Well, today while driving, I came across a nice black CTS-V sedan. We talked a few times at a few lights, and decided since it was an empty road, to play a little. The first run the pavement was choppy comming off the line, so I rolled untill across the intersection, and nailed it, he pulled on me pretty quick as he hit gas hard right away. Backed off quickly, got to the next lights, and was good pavement, so I revved to about 4k, slipped the clutch a bit, hooked perfect, and got off the line a nice bit quicker than he did, ran him to about 80 MPH then he easily pulled past me, got to the next lights, and did the same thing, but he hooked PERFECTLY, as did I, and it was a steady pull for him, right from the get go...all in all, im happy, kinda beat him once lol...and lost twice, but I knew that would happen, those cars are QUICK...

Was it the new supercharged version or the last gen CTS-V? Either way, nice runs!

It's a CTS on total roids. The 04-05 had the 400hp LS6 from the C5 Z06 corvette. The 06-07 had the 400hp LS2 from the C6 vette. The '09s+ have the LSA engine, a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 derived from the top tier Corvette ZR1. The LSA makes 556hp stock. Available in 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic.. you can get them in sedan or coupe.. now they just added a CTS-V wagon to the lineup. I want one so badly!!!! haha so awesome. It holds the record for fastest V8 powered sedan around the nurburgring (panamera turbo ran faster, but I think that's classified as a hatch). droooooool.



btw glory death OP. That's awesome that you gave him a run for his money!
