My Cobra VS Caddy CTS-V
 
On my way the the gym yesterday, I was getting onto the on ramp to the highway when I saw a black Caddy CTS-V comming from the opposite way also getting on the highway. As soon as we merged on he took off weaving through traffic. The car sounded loud and mean, like a full exhaust Vette. I eventually caught up to him. Was a big guy driving with a very fine woman in the passenger seat. Traffic was pretty heavy but he slowed down to make room in front of us. We went at 3 honks. I started in 2nd gear. It was so hot out that the Falken RT615s were like gumballs....ZERO wheelspin. I hooked and pulled ahead (usually I spin through third on street tires) The end of 2nd came fast. I slammed 3rd so hard my shift knob spun around to the side! Nearing the top of 3rd I had to let off as there was too much traffic but I was at least a car ahead. I couldn't really look as I was concerned about the traffic up ahead. I slammed on the woah pedal and the big Brembos brought the snake to a hault. They guy pulled up and sad something like "man that thing is fast" I give him thumbs up and motioned to pull over so we could talk. Turns out he owns a local shop and they got a dyno. Apparently his is currently the fastest NA Caddy in the world. He also had some very nice black 5 spoke HRE wheels. We exchanged numbers and I headed to the gym.

thats pretty damn cool, although i am inclined to doubt his claim about the fastest NA caddy in the world

Who knows? I'm just going by what he said.

You should have told him his car was slow and taken his woman :D

I really like those Cadillac's, 4 door, 400hp look great etc.

I also really want an 03-04 Cobra, not for the looks but for the POWER that comes so easily.

He bought a 1000cc sport bike, cbr1000rr or something like that. Makes the cobra look like a slowbra :D

Haha, oic. Well I would advise not selling quite yet. I went through my sportbike "phase" as well, while you will almost never have a faster streetcar, I sold it and decided I would rather mod my FD. After you almost dump the bike at triple digit speeds a few times, most people realize the temporary thrill isnt worth it :p:

Bikes come and go man.

A nicely modded car is where your heart really is.

I also suggest not selling it. :)

SLOASFK 06-02-06 07:44 PM

fastest NA caddy in the world? Doesn't Caddilac make an 1100HP crate motor? N/A V16 IIRC

That would be fucking awesome. I heard he had a badass FD in the past. Would love to see another one rolling around my way :D

If I remember right he had a pretty nice silverstone metallic FD. His name seems to stick out for me from back when I was just on the mailing list..

Yup, good memory. He was one of the first to have the gt35/40 in the US.

I'm always around here somewhere. No more FDs for me unless I go the LS1 route. I got too many toys now.
