The cars generally trap in the 118-121 mph range, when driven with at least some skill. And those are 2010 numbers really.

I just found some more LSA Porn for you guys.

How does a manual coupe running 12.2@117 sound from a Edmunds test driver?

Enjoy

Those are some pretty good runs.

The car definitely has more in it if you push it.

Taken from a post on a SVT site

Supposedly the CTS-V has pulley's, h/c, tune and MT radials. ZR-1 has 430CI BUILT MOTOR, TWIN BILLET 67s , CUSTOM TURBO MANIFOLDS, STOCK GUTTED INTAKE/BLOWER ASSEMBLY

TT ZR-1 runs a 9.43 @152 at 22psi(1215rwhp), Cadillac runs a 10.56@130

Watch in HD:

ZR-1
R/T .026
60' 1.456
330 4.107
1/8 6.213
MPH 116.82
1000 7.967
1/4 9.433
MPH 152.52

1215rwhp should get more than 152mph in the 1/4.

smoking fast run though.

The timeslip looks very similar to the ones I got on my GSXR1000.

So, when people argue, they use the potential of the car as the basis of thier arguement rather than what they can actually do. Internet racing at it's finest.

THIS!!! Must be the reason I hate these threads so much...

Auto vs Stick... The GT500 should have gotten a better time than that though.. It really is a drivers race..

racer515 · 08-05-2010, 07:57 AM

No surprise here. They still can't get the GT500 to hook up on the starts.

Sawyer · 08-05-2010, 08:31 AM

nice win CTSv

Even though the Caddy jumped the Shelby out of the hole due to the Shelbys traction. It looked like it maintained if not gained a lil by the end of the video. Thats a good sign!

What makes you think its any easier launching the V? Very limited traction in the V as well.

snizzle · 08-05-2010, 09:20 AM

True, but even more so with the MT. The AT is faster to 60.
