haha... CRX's.. Thats funny... Ive had a few races, one with a stock b6 1.8t, a celica gts 180hp or whatever, a jetta 1.8t and a golf 1.8t. Beat em all. Oh and a chick in a 225hpTT on Sunday, I couldnt keep up with her too well but it was fun while it lasted.

Oh I know you're just putting stats out there..I was just told by a friend that the CTS's are a 4.2 V8..the 255 hp V6 makes more sense. I couldn't really tell on the year..if I spent the time and saw the different body styles for the CTS I could easily tell what generation it was. Anyway, still not bad. I had to share being this was the only real race besides the 2 riced out CRX's I've torn up since I got the car.

alright, a few corrections, i think. the cts wasnt around in the late nineties, if it wasn't a cts-v, which i promise it wasn't or he would have smoked you(corvette ls6 motor), then it could have had one of two different 6 CYLINDER motors, one having around 210 hp and the other with like 255, those numbers are for the 2005, so the numbers could vary a little depending on year, maybe. not trying to belittle you, just telling you what i know. still somewhat impressive especially if it was the 255.

The one race I couldnt keep with was my 2.8L 30V A4 vs. a 2.7T A6. My vehicle is stock, as Im sure the A6 maybe is. But that dude just flew on straight aways and held the turns pretty darn tight at high speeds.
I raced my friends 5.7 GTO, he can accelerate, but i can keep up, but the moment we maneuvered into turns, Im gone and he's behind me (until the next straight away). Too big an engine for that car.
I wish I could race more, but not many are up for it.

at 130? The 2.8 30v only does like 135 top speed doesnt it? I may be wrong, but that could be a good reason he smoked you....

RE: MY RACE VS A CADILLAC CTS
You can keep up with 350HP GTO (or 400Hp is 2005)??? I don’t think so!!! and as for handling the will produce the same cornering G as stock A4...Either way you were day dreaming or your friend doesn’t know how to drive his new GTO

RE: MY RACE VS A CADILLAC CTS
Knowing how to drive is part of the game. You can have all the HP and handling you want.
So if I was able to keep up with the GTO - and Im not dreaming - it's b/c I can give it a go. It's not my fault the person I may be up against cannot drive his/her machine.
