Got Schooled today by a V

[QuickOne]

:treed:
So, I have this road on my way to work that's 2 lanes and stop lights what seems to be every 1/4 mile. I never get anyone lined interested in a little 0 - speed limit challenge. Well....almost never. Today I saw the rear of a CTS and from a distance, looked like it had some good size meats on the rear. 3 cars were in the right lane pulling up to the lights, so I gassed it so I would be behind the lone CTS in the left lane. I saw the driver glance in rear view, but he looked 60+ and didn't look like the guy who was interested in putting the gas anywhere near the floor. So the light turns green and he gases it liberally, but no where near a hard launch...I gassed enough to stay on his rear and not crunch his tailgate. He glanced again and you could see his :eek: that there was a Jeep still behind him. At this point, I was wondering if I was following the 550HP V or the older 400 HP version. Right about then, I saw a hesitation, a puff of black smoke our of the pipes and an ass wiggle only seen on a fat chick running after the ice cream truck or a High HP 2 wheel drive grasping for traction.
I had it to the floor boards and I pretty much felt like I stepped on the brakes instead. That car took off like a raped ape! (Albeit some carbon build up)
I pulled up next to him and he didn't even look over to give me a winning grin, thumbs up or anything. Nice car. Tool for a driver, but at least he got up on it. I bet the car was a bit happier too after blowing all that soot out of the exhaust.
Note to self......Unless supercharger or twin turbo is installed, do not challenge CTS-V! :lol:

[Robert Palmer]

LOL!


It happens bro. It happens.


Now throw on a Vortech. :D

Now throw me the $$$ to do it! :lol:

I thought my pure driving skill would have surpassed his 550 HP and 2 wheel drive! :rolleyes:
You'll see first hand on June 19th what that is all about! :thumbsup:

The V is a sweet ride. My old roommate has an 05, definitely a fun drive.

Food for thought man. JG does not condone street racing. We like our ride and if we must race we take it to the track. No thread that is considered illegal street racing will be tolerated and members please remember the JG membership policy. Speed and Drive safe and make it home to your family.
First and final warning.

0 - speed limit challenge.

lol love it!

[White WK Swagga]

My neighbor just got a 2010 CTS-V. When he breaks it in he's going to take me for a ride. He ordered some sick $800. Intake and some pully. OMFG he traded his 07 vett for it he also traded his 07 escalade for a ML 450 hybrid. I didn't know MB made hybrids. LOL and he has a 335 to drive to the train station but it just sits in the driveway since he got the CTS-V.

It's called leadership by example. Trackin??? And yes it is. Its everyone's forum so if one person screws up then someone which means everyone and anyone has the right to give a fair warning. I just don't have the permissions to erase or ban anyone. Ha. Test the mike. :eek: Oh yeah I went there. :lol::slapfight:

[BOYCHIKS]

Yup, shit happens..

Brian- This last Saturday at Bremerton SPEEDWAY not streetway (LOL) I posted my first 12's, not my beasts first, but mine. I smashed the first twelves the from night before of 12.96 with a 12.86 first run of the morning. I follow with a 12.772. This is my first race with Mopardragteam.com (Slvrltng John was there as well) ours were the first jeeps to race with them as well. Before my first heat I wanted a Mocha so I walked to the concessions, as I was walking back to the pits a brand new 2010 CTS-V was sitting in tech getting inspected. My dream car! I was super excited! So I go talk the guy and it turns out hes waaaay cool, hes 70 at that. He is there to flog it, no niceness, really ready to put it to it. I asked if we could would he run me and says "of course, what are you driving?" and I say a Grand Cherokee. He wanted to laugh but again he was really cool. So he asks what I run and I say my last was a 12.772 to which he gets very excited and really is impressed. Well we never got to run because I was competing and he was test and tune so I couldnt cross over. But Every time I ran he was at the line taking pics of me waiting, staging, and launching. He really was fond of the beast. Now here is the kicker, he was a decent driver and very fast....... 12.79's!!!! He gave me mad props and was appreciative of how excited I was to post better numbers than the car of my dreams! Sorry its so long winded but Im still pretty impressed with how my Beastly Bitch ran that day!

[QuickOne]

I was so wishing the next light (on the private race track) :rolleyes: would be red so I could have run him from a digg...But no such luck.

[chucktownsrt8]

It was more than likely the new 550hp CTS-V. You can tell by the bubble hood and a much wider body than the old one.

[chucktownsrt8]

Awesome car though. My buddy has one and they are sick. Too bad it looks like an old man car :) hehehe!

[White WK Swagga]

My neighbor has a 2010 and he just put some sick CAI in it. He's going to take me for a hell ride after he hits 3k miles and get's it tuned up!!! I can't wait. I hear him chirp hitting second all the time....

[B.P.O.D]

those v's are rockets!!!

Unfortunately, i was unable to get up to the front! :lol:

I would like to see it on a track vs the Jeep. After my SRT experience, I am SHOCKED at how fast you can drive a Jeep through a corner. Faster than any of the SRT's - the Viper.

[Craig10114]

dont be ashamed that you lost to a 4 door corvette.... those things haul a$$.

[Escape]

Time for some forced induction!

From a dig you would have had him no problem.

[BOYCHIKS]

Those cars are just.. Scary!

[Scottina06]

street racing is dumb and kills innocent people

[muellge]

those things are fast. might run you down from a dig in a 1/4 mile. I have yet to run up on one in the pulleyed E55, but it would be a good race.

[QuickOne]

It wasn't a race Scott. It was a 0 - speed limit challenge!:rolleyes::thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

sorry....its still dumb and puts innocent peoples lives at risk......

First and final warning.GAY!! theres plenty of site that let u talk about your kills

[QuickOne]

sorry....its still dumb and puts innocent peoples lives at risk......
Understandable you feel this way. In my opinion, there are many more dangers than a 0 - speed limit challenge on a divided highway after a light turns green, but let's just agree to disagree.
For example..... Cell phone use and texting is way more dangerous to innocent people. So lets not see any cell phone photos while driving

[Scottina06]

this is true and both are illegal in many states...but street racing is illegal in all 50. This is just my opinion.....

Just trying to protect the innocent and children that read threads like this and think its ok. Take it to the track IMO

[B.P.O.D]

i've noticed on the highway there are few cars that want to race over 100mph, route 80 in nj is great for straightaways lolol

[B.P.O.D]

You should see the tire marks in the street. I'll take a pic of those tonight. LOL

[B.P.O.D]

lolol nice!!! is this the same car as the pic you sent yest?

[White WK Swagga]

Yup. He traded his 07 vett for the CTS-v. The vett had some work to it too. he also traded his escalade for a ML Hybrid. and he has a 08 335 BMW that he's looking to trade in too but he doesn't know what he wants yet. And he's only 28. :eek:

[B.P.O.D]

old CTS V = Joke ... New CTS V= 4 door ZR1

[probablecauz]

this guy had one the other day when i was getting my wheels installed. he said he had 700HP:eek:

[Knightrider03m]

I think that he was just pulling your chain. Stock he is pushing out 556. Unless he put down a ton of money, I don't think that car can even touch 600HP.

lol he might have been. thing sounded mean as hell though. he had to be close to 600 easy

[Scottina06]

ot....but I saw one of the wagons today. It was a very nice red color...similar to my Inferno. I liked it...but my wife didnt

Yes that car can get to 700hp.

[4.whoa]

^^ check out his sig :thumbsup:

^^ check out his sig :thumbsup:

His sig is not correct. He has a Vortech so should be running 11.7's or less. I was running a 12.7 with a tune and CAI.

E55 amg!?


Agreed!!!!

[soontobesrt]

I dunno guys, I think they are very comparable. You may just be paying for name at this point. Would have to drive/see both side by side first hand to tell but I doubt theres anything significantly nicer/worse.

http://n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6298

And form reading around (thats all, no proof haha) the fastest stock CTS-V according to some forums is 11.9 in the 1/4. Not sure about the E55

Heard that that Panamera Turbo sedan is actually now faster in the 1/4 so add another to the debate!

[Galaxie500]

Lock and Load!

[DJ BoNiOmArIo]

this thread is awesome LOL

Best 4 door fast sedan IMHO goes for either the E55 or M5 hands down

Cars dope! - Fastest 4 door sedan ever made . . . plain and simple

not entirely true. type 25 STI can hang just fine... maybe for cheaper too.

[SHORTYBIGHEAD]

Can I post something about racing, if I, for example, parked my truck, got out, then got in a foot race w/another car?...because I did that today...and beat it...and it was glorious. Other than that, I spent my day drag racing 20 different cars, in school zones, with my eyes closed, during a thunderstorm.

Was that by the monmouth mall Eatontown area? I recognize the ford dealer at the end of the video.

Before the vortech I was running 12.8s. recently rebuilt my engine with manley pistons and rods, ported and polished my stock intake manifold and heads... im just about 800 miles on new engine, so im excited to finally get a good tune and track it!

That video was before the rebuild...
