what were your street tires & size vs your DR tire & size? it makes a difference on why your MPH drop, one your deft not spinning and means your coming out the hole better, TIRE size should be match to your GEAR... which determines, 60"ft & MPH & what gear you finished right before 1/4 mile mark.
also...to launch that thing your going to need to get the clutch to the teetering point and prob rev around 2700 to 3300 rpm.....and feather that shit until your off the line...if you can learn to launch a gto you can launch anything...my 05 was hard to launch....the old c5 zo6 is a beast in the zero to 60 foot range.
i have an sts v and i want one...but my sts v looks so much better...wish theyd change to honey comb grill to a different mesh pattern thats not so stop signish. love the car though...once there down into the low 50's or high 40's im there..fuck msrp
Cadillac CTS-V placed FOURTH in the latest CAR magazine comparo. This is with the same driver. A fair comparison, unlike the BS from Government Motors.
CTS-V lost and placed 4th in the latest CAR magazine comparo.
That Z06 sounds awesome. Was that V stock? I understand how it feels to mess up at the dragstrip. Its not easy driving a car with over 500hp. Trust me. I can look like a pro driver with my friends Mustang GT with bolt ons. But when i drive my modded C5 Z06 i never know what can happen (get sideways, miss a gear, run out of road, etc, lol).
Love that CTSV. I'm the Zo6 driver. First pass ever and nerves got me. I launched in 3rd!!! I couldn't believe it. Then missed 3rd. Zo6 is Procharged, 730rwhp on 5lbs boost. A different day on 345/25/20 street tires spinning all the way down the track it went 11.8 @ 131mph. Got some MT ET Streets now and ready to make it right!!
lol not to meantion all that with your wife and kids in the car full of groceries! CTS V FTW!!! I truely love my 05V but just seein this makes me wanna put a forsale sign in the window and save those carpayments for a 09 in a year

loss of mph is due to lower tire psi . Play with psi, higher psi will get u better mph .
Also are the rear DR's smaller than the front tires ???

That sound is my Zo6 missing 3rd gear. You can't really hear the V at all in the video.

Was the sound quality poor, or was the V pinging the rev limiter? Either way, nice numbers!!! Caddy Rules!
