http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/05/13/2009-cadillac-cts-v-beats-the-bmw-m3-and-m5-around-nurburgring/ Quite a bold claim for the new Caddy! The spec is quite impressive, and an American car that goes around corners- no way!!! The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the "Ring Car" does look somewhat LOWER than the press pics, and it has a CAGE fitted, and lord knows what else has been done to it!................... Pretty cool car nonetheless, but I reckon they may have cheated a bit there!.....
They should take a stock M5 and a stock Caddy and have a go around the ring with two equal drivers. I can tell you which car my bet is on Thomas
it's all marketing hype these days. Ref: the GTR time if you look at the video they start and stop the clock at 2 different point of the track ! Also they did a 'flying start' I believe people such as Sport Auto always do a full lap from a standing start. this Caddy thing is just more marketing hype to get some inches in the motoring press.
