Default vs CTS-V

ran into one yesterday after leaving the dyno. car is running lean and i should not have been driving it hard, but i couldnt pass this up.
i was cruising at 80 and seen some blu headlights coming up. moments later a black ctsv passes me with ease.
i speed up and get next to him and just hang there and give it a lil gas so here could hear the exhaust note.
well we hit traffic up ahead and he is behind me. traffic clears i go half throttle and he is on my ***, so i figured he was ready. and go WOT.
i am slowly pulling him till 120 maybe ut 2 cars on him.
then we hit traffic again. i can see an opening in the far slow lanes but didnt want to get crazy. well i see his left turn signal and he goes for it. gets a nice jump on me and i pursue. up to 130 he has 4-6 cars on me. damn and at that point i let out and he was booking it.
he ends up turning off on one of my exits. i pull up next to him at the light and he rolls down his window. " u didnt expect that out of this caddy did ya?" haha i knwo what they are about, badass car man. he then says "cadillac has came a long way"
then the light turned green and he floors it and we end up catching a light up the road a ways.
we BSing again. light turns green, i go half throttle again waiting for him to get on it. seemed like 15 mph we both got into it. took it to 100 and up until 80-90 or so he was right at my door then seemed as he was starting to pull. but at 100 i let out.
so all in all i was very impressed with my car as i have heard these cars are beast on the interstate, which he proved to be correct.
but from a dig it was very close.

i had my street tires on and a week ago i only did one pass but it was a 13.38
so the dig run went just how i thought it wouldve.
but when he got the hit on the interstate, that thing moved pretty damn good.

Good run. I dunno about the newer ones but I believe the LS6-powered version runs about 13 flat at 107 or so, very similar to an LS1 F-body.
