This is why cars like the CTS-V were created. You know a version of the CTS has ass-raped it's competition. So you buy the car it looks like a CTS-V.

It is no mistake that the CTS-V looks a lot like the CTS. That is the point.

Don't be surprised that only a hotrodder will be able to tell a Challenger from a Hellcat. That is the point.
I didn't mean that guys that buy these cars are only image oriented. More along the line of what the real world experience is with them. They aren't tracked OR drag raced 99% of their life.

My ZL1 has more than enough power to be stupid on the street and I do enjoy taking a 35 MPH off ramp at 80 MPH every time I exit the highway by my house.

Saying that the only people that care about the handling capabilities of the ZL1 are its owner because NO ONE tracks them anyway is missing that being a lopsided 1/4 mile King Kong is more limiting in the real world.
