Damn! Got beat by a Caddy today

Got to the track for a test and tune today and on my first run this 556 HP Supercharged Cadillac CTS is laying in wait for me to pull up to the staging lane and jumped in the lane next to me for a grudge match. Granted it was close..like 5 thousands difference, but he won none the less...dammit!!!

I should probably mention it was an 1/8 mile track...he would have got me much worse in the 1/4. I did change my shift points and ran a whole lot quicker the next run...but he'd already hauled butt. Oh well...

That's pretty good to hang with that car at all. Is your car modded?

Edit: Sorry, I saw your sig after my question. I guess that answers it for me.

Your just having fun! I got blown away by a 370Z twin turbo The back of that car sure is nice. I thought it would be a good race until I glanced down at the fender well and saw the twin turbo emblem.
