Dude the point is ItalianStallion lied in a previous post about not making 700hp and that he doesn't use nitrous. Then you and MBforum members are made into a joke at the Cadillac forum - go check it out. He even rips the "mighty C63" over there. I'm not trying to stand up for any E55s or C63s, I just can't stand low-class internet liars, and as everyone on MBWorld knows liars will be exposed here. Money racer or liar, in this case, is one in the same.

That same night he said he raced a stock C63 and ran even which lead me to believe I'm gonna beat him. So after all the games were said and done I lose bus lengths. I come out to race for run and for comparisons and end up losing to a CTSV thats FAR from stock regardless what he has.
In the end I really dont give a dam what he has. If that amused him then good for him. If I was told he was spraying or running 700hp then I woulda not been so shocked.
That V is either spraying or at 700hp and theres nothing else that can be said to me anymore that will change my mind. Argue till the end of time no chance of me changing my mind. No way with minimal mods would I lose BUS lengths to that V.

I know where your coming from but what do you suppose can be done? I really could care less and no1 is making a fool of me. I came out there thinking I'm going to race a stock CTS-V.

You're the real winner in the end.

Thing is I know alot of guys have pride for our cars but understanding what happen here should be taken into consideration.
Someone in that V forum said thats what it should look like stock vs stock if you click one of the links. Come on now really ? In the end I personally know who the fools are

I too thought it was run between gentlemen but it appears that one of them was not forthcoming for whatever reason.
I say find a stock CTS-V with an honest driver and have fun just as you did with the E63.
There is no shame in losing, but there is shame in not being honest.

i think you guys are blowing it way out proportion. if you read more of that thread he says that he had that kit put together for a Z06 he had previously owned.....and was contemplating on putting on the CTS-V. Honestly I do not think that he had nitrous. With his mods his car should be as fast or bit faster then my car.....and let me tell you I rip stock E55s by buses too.

i also do not like telling locals what i have down to every mod, just because it takes the fun out of drag racing. there are some people that think my car runs 10s, there are rumors that i have spray.......it's fun.

Definitely no shame in losing to car that isn't willing to fully disclose all his mods. To be honest, if this guy was really into racing for money he definitely wouldn't want his videos posted. IMO beating a healthy stock E55 by that much will be enough to scare off a few races, just wouldn't be smart.
I've seen 2 CTS-v's at the track, one blew it's rear end on the burn out on its first pass and the other one had a hard time breaking into the 12's. I'm sure they are plenty fast but I just haven't witnessed it. Hopefully one day soon I'll get my chance to line up with one of these modded CTS-V's, I'm sure it will be a good race.

But then again with that 700hp he was only running 11.8 with a 1.85 60'
http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/2059837-post34.html
so 1 bus length is accounted for, but not sure where the second and third bus lengths came from.

Vinny, that car is a beast as are all CTS-V's, and mod for mod they will kill most 55Ks I'm sure. Stock for stock I have always figured we'd lose 4 out of every 5 races. I just hope more class and less taunting is displayed by the winner after the next E55/E63/CTS-V meet even if the CTS-V has 200 more bhp.

turns out this set up..its good for easily 570RWHP+ (dont know if that is dyno ject or what machine). I assume its dyno jet..
This can be translated to about 680 or higher to the crank.
