CTS-V Challenge Results
The V OWNED!!!!!Quote, originally posted by http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1036 ... -announced »Last month, during a discussion with journalists about General Motors’ new “May the Best Car Win†marketing campaign, Bob Lutz laid down the challenge to any journalist to a duel with the Cadillac CTS-V to see if any comparable car could topple the Caddy.The guys at Jalopnik quickly accepted, putting forward Wes Siler who was originally planning to race in a Jaguar XFR until officials pulled the car because of fears of the brakes overheating. Luckily Siler still had a Mitsubishi Evo on hand.He was joined by Jack Baruth from The Truth About Cars who also drove a Cadillac CTS-V and several ‘civilians’ driving a BMW M3, a BMW M5, an Audi RS4 and even another Cadillac CTS-V.Well, the event took place today at the Monticello Motor Club in Monticello, N.Y. and we now have the results. Taking top honors was former GM Performance Division Executive John Heinricy with a lap time of 2m and 46.56s in the Cadillac CTS-V.1. Cadillac CTS-V (John Heinricy): 2:46:5602. Cadillac CTS-V (Brian Redman): 2:49:1833. Cadillac CTS-V (Aaron Link): 2:48:9024. BMW M3 (Michael Cooper): 2.50:4245. Cadillac CTS-V (Jack Baruth): 2:51:1536. Cadillac CTS-V (Lawrence Ulrich): 2:53:0267. Cadillac CTS-V (Bob Lutz): 2:56:3218. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (Wes Siler): 3:08.1269. BMW M5 (Michael Mainwald): 3:08:98910. Cadillac CTS-V (Chris Fairman.): 3:14:29211. Audi RS4 (Tom Loder): 3:15:70212. Jaguar XF (Archan Basu): 3:16.670Ok, so this was in October, but I was watching the Speed channel and there's going to be something on Tuesday night.

Re: CTS-V Challenge Results (K-NINE)
That's great for the Caddy, but where I come from it snows and rains quite often, and thus for my money "May the Best Car Win" on that list would be the RS4, followed by the EVO.I'd like to see the CTS-V battle the RS4 or EVO on a rally course, actually.
