Congrat Redbulljunky,, u burst his bubble. He called U out what arrogance. When u read some of the V fourms theses guys think these car are unbeatable.. All it takes is "POWER" and driving skill. I can imagine what the Hellcat people will be saying once those cars are on the road and they can be "Beaten too" .
and yes anything can be beatenYes sir!!
Thanks!!
Thank you!!

I haven't been on this forum much lately and I come on and see this...wow that's cool. You should have this thing seriously running hard soon after more dialing in...I mean it is running strong now! Engine compartment looks cool too! I will keep checking on the progression of times with the colder weather and more dialing.
The V had to be a stick as they don't get down the track too well with 6 spd tranny's and his mph would have put him in the 11.0 range maybe 10.90s with good traction and an auto. One guy said he had plastic tires! lmao... Looks like he brought a knife to a gun fight!
Congrats RBJ and I will def. be in Fla this winter and more then likely bring my car with me and have some fun!

Second off, to 60nomad......you are a class act to own a fast CTS-V and still give props to RBJ for the win!

RBJ had the V covered throughout the run. The only way it would have been close is if the V had drag radials and cut a PERFECT light. But he probably would have lost anyways. RBJ had MPH on him the whole run. I bet the V owner is purchasing more go fast parts as I type. lol

Thanks but it is natural, normal reaction...I love to race and I don't care who owns what car, where they are from etc. I have lost so many times this year that it is laughable but against some serious rides. I don't pick on cars that I know I will beat. RBJ is a cool dude and his ride is running awesome and will dial in incredibly I am sure. I am also sure we will meet this winter down in Fla.
60nomad is good dude. Loves to race and seems to realize there are always faster cars but he races them too.

Thanks HR. You must agree that the V had to be a stick...no? ...and RBJ had pretty big MPH on him either way. Imagine if the V didn't spin? His MPH might have been 124mph!

CTSV had a very poor 60' especially if it was on drag radials. I run better 60's on street tires than that guy did on drag radials. And I have both a manual and auto. Plus the V gave up over 1/2 second on his reaction. The V would gain a ton with a driver mod but the MPH says it all, he doesn't have near the power of the turbo Benz.

RBJ, What convertor are you running? Curious because I would think you should be seeing a better 60' with that power.
I know the Cadillac turbo cars seem to have a poor 60' and some are spraying them at launch to get them through the lag area of the power band.

I'm on a 3000 stall. But it pushes through the brakes at 2500.
