Wow, this thing is really quick!! Going back home from work yesterday I saw in my mirror this Caddy coming FAST behind me. FUN TIME!! I let the guy pass me and putted myself just behind him on the left lane. Even if my car is fast at highway speed, I knew that my C43 would not be able to keep up with that beast. I wanted to know by how much anyway.

There was a car in front of him so he was not able to floor it. As soon as the car pulled on the right lane he floored it. I guess my reaction time is little better than his cause I was able to stay very close of him from 60mph to 100 mph . Maybe it was just the way he drive (I dont know if he was on the sweet spot of his power band at 100kph...) Over that speed, he pulled away slowly but surely. We did it twice and for the same results.

It was pretty funny!!

Well, yes, I'm very interested in seeing the result. Never had a chance to race a CTS-V. Never seen one either (probably they are hiding when they see me :p)
