thewheelman Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 It's been in the high 50's to mid 60's for the last week or two in KY and I feel for you guys who have to put your cars away for the winter. I can enjoy driving mine year round (common sense prevailing). It's been mid summer since I had anyone challenge me and had 2 this last week. The first is funny, both were satisfying. My drive to/from work can be either 80% 4 lane bypass or 80% 2 lane city streets, depending on which direction I turn coming out of the driveway. So, Friday afternoon I take the bypass home. The bypass has 4 traffic lights before I turn off for home. At light #1 a bright yellow Dodge Dakota R/T pulls along side the fender badge says "Magnum V8". I don't pay too much attention to him until his passenger shoots me the bird and they take off in a cloud of tire smoke. I ignore him, but when he does the same at #2, I jump on it and blow them away by the time I hit 3rd. At light #3, he does it again. This time we've got much more open road ahead of us so I pull along side, shake my head and then drive away. 4th redlight he's gunning it again, ready to run. When the light turned green, I sat still and watched him smoke tires across the intersection. He waited for me down the road but I just waved and drove on. Either stupid or persistent....I don't know. There are several cars I see day to day coming and going from work. At least 3 times in the last couple of weeks a red Caddy CTSV and I have arrived at the same intersection at the same time. One day he gunned the engine and looked over and grinned. Another day I had the top down and I gunned the motor and grinned. Monday we met again. It had rained earlier in the day and we met, facing each other, both turning onto the 4 lane. He was turning left, I was turning right. He pointed at me and motioned to his left. Traffic cleared and we both pulled out. I turned hard right and took the driest lane, he swung out left and we hit it. It was fun, but I was able to keep the tires from spinning from the rolling start and all he got to see was my tail lights. We ran out of road pretty quick and I moved over to make a left hand turn at the next intersection (clearly ahead of him)--he gunned the engine and grinned and waved. Next week the weather may actually be winter....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Nice kills!! Especially on those pesky CTSV's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Those Caddy's are nothing to fool with. I drove one @ Road Atlanta @ speed and they are not an old mans car. They may not be the fastest from 0 to 60 but those sons of bitchs fly around Road Atlanta. They are one hell of a car for a Caddy. Trust me .

You're right, I wasn't running away from him, but he wasn't catching up either! It was fun. I had a big grin on my face all the way home.......

08KR525 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 If I were shopping for a new car the CTSV would be on my short list, especially with the Recaros. I prefer the Caddy over the Corvette, it's that impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0128 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I had a CTS-V and an STS-V. The CTS-V was a friggin rocket ship. Probably the fastest stock vehicle I've ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
