Team Caddy CTS-V
Did anyone see the race last week or so when the new Cadillac CTS-V's debue? I forgot what series it is but last years winner was the Audi RS6. Well this year with the introduction of the new caddy things have changed. At the Start of the race the audi launched and was in first followed by one of the Caddy's then a viper and a vette. The other CTS-V had a faulty clutch and stalled at the start so he was in last.
Well...... The first CTS-V ended up passing the RS6 and the Caddy that was in last place....well he climbed all the way up the pack and sat in second behind his team mate Damn. The first race for the new Caddy's and they ended up beating everyone even comming up from dead last. Keep in mind they race against Saleens, Vipers, m3's, 911 TT's, Vettes. Not only do they look good on the track, but you can bring one home for 50K...less then all the cars above. GM did a great job with that car.

Cadillac has definitely raised the bar in the Speed GT series. The CTS-V is my new dream car; RWD, 400 hp, 6 speed and it looks incredible. 
I read that Cadillac entered the Speed GT series so they could finally advertise themselves as race winners, like Audi and BMW do.

I like the way that Caddy is going with there program as of late. Im mad I missed the series... hopfully I catch the next one. If Caddy is that dominate there first time I wonder who the Drivers are because I mean you going against some top guys and then the Last place caddy came back to place 2nd... WTF. Is caddy trying to do what Audi did with there RS8's in Le Mans? Lets see what sa Germans will do to come back, eh.

I think the rules of this series dictate that winning cars get some extra weight added to level the playing field. But in any case it makes me feel good that a caddy can whup the competition.

Damn. Wouldnt you like to pull up next to some a hole in a cobra or something lime that with a tweeked stock looking CTS-V and kick him to the curb. I want one so bad. My dad is a retired exec from GM too so I could get a discount. Damn. payments would still be high though.
