Exactly! The car makes an 8 minute trip around the Ring look near leisurely! If you read comments from the previos two posts they also confirmed that the bar is a support for the six point harness and that all the safety equipment added weight. They also pointed out the harness support bar was installed in a way to make sure it didn't add any stiffness to help handling compared to the stock version of the car.

Awesome! Love that supercharger sound.

Oh look. They're discussing the GT-R.

Great reading! What pricks! Most of them are unwilling to admit that the CTS-V is even on par with their M5's, let alone quicker on the track!

I'd probably be the same way if I spent that much money on a bmuu and have to fear the day I pull alongside a factory-blown V.

Oh yeah, and what a beautiful video!

I wonder why they chose the automatic...

I read the comments there claiming that Cadillac MUST HAVE been using slicks and a roll cage to get those times.

I tried to register an account to post up the comments from the GM Blog (disproving the theories on tires and the cage), but they require you to enter what kind of car you have. I put in "Cadillac CTS-V", and still have yet to receive an activation email.

The M5 board is full of fail already, but if they won't activate an account for someone with a Caddy then it's downright epic fail.
