E55 vs CTS-V ( new vid I just found)

I just found this video now it was just recently uploaded. Is the E55 owner on this board ??

I'm really interested to know what mods each car has if any. CTS-V gets the jump and still loses so I'm guessing the 55 is slightly modded and the V is stock.

If anything I agree with you because I dont think he let off. 117mph is not that high of a trap for a modded e55. I trapped 115 first time at the track bone stock.

CTS-V (stock) can do 12.1 (ish).. although seems like most are around 12.5 - Looks like wheel spin got him. The 55 at 12.3 is pretty good stock, but not great. Win is a win

117 mph is not bad and is actually a great trap for a E55...I prefer the E55 but those Cts-V are starting to grow on me....

Most CTS-V drivers will have to shift very well to match even stock E55 times. Although I can see them become a deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled driver.

E55 Estate
I just saw a CTS wagon in person this morning. Looked ok, but since there is no CTS-V Wagon, i'll be sticking to my 55.

They have a T6060 in them stock. It'll take a lot more than stock power to hurt that thing.
