When you get into modfied street CTS-V with 700 horse they will run into the 10's in the 1/4 mile,haven't seen any street trim 928's with 928 motor running into the mid 10 second area yet.CTS-V even being heavy still run strong.

One with nitrous also in the 9's for 1/4mile
Beware of the modified CTS-V's

Where's the low 11's? Not doubting (much), but if that's true I'll be turning my car into a Supershark for SURE.
FYI, the CTS-V usually pulls around 450ish average to the ground. Depends on the gearbox. I REALLY have a weakness for Wagons, so I'm going to buy a CTS-V Wagon at some point. Just need more garage space! Just like M928 said, they move out a lot better than you would think given their weight.

Brian,
Your car was the first I thought of as being the car that would have a chance
of breaking into the 10's.I remember you posting both of your ET slips with and without the small shot of nitrous in the mid 11 area.it does run great.Have you been to the track much since?

All the modern muscle cars need 500+ hp just to drag their corpulent steriod-overdose-design-school carcasses down the road.
However, I do think the CTS-V Wagon is a hoot. I hope enough folks buy one to allow GM to keep making them.

That was my thought when I choose 4th gear, Hacker........ I gave a brief thought to 3rd as I was well in range (70ish), but then decided 4th would be enough.
Murph will be pleased to know I was correct.
DR's X pipe and RMB, hi-flow cats, GT resonators....... think the V driver, got the message? He was about 10 to 20 feet back once I got the jump on him...... I am guessing he was saying to him self
"WTF is in the thing!!?????"
