: The new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V lays down a blistering time at Germany's Nurburgring. Driver John Heinricy completed a lap of the legendary Nordschleife in 7:59.32 which could possibly be the fastest recorded time for a production sedan on factory-spec street tires.

Oh my god! CTS-V owns the competition!
And no, unlike some people, I'm not gonna say "1st comment". Cadillac really nailed it this time! The M3, C63 AMG, RS4, and IS-F are gonna be nervous... ha ha. Thank you, Cadillac!

GM has admitted ... ( 3 months ago by gp900bj)

GM has admitted that they used full slick tires and a heavily modified car for this lap. ""We used full slick tires" said John Heinricy". Source: Pistonheads. GM has made quite a reputation for lying about lap times. This video is typical of their propaganda.

Its funny how many people called bs on the GTR now believe this time without anytime, despite the car clearly having Sparco Evo II racing seats and a Half roll ba-oh I'm sorry mean "harness bar". And the video is even more suspicious then the GTR video, it doesn't show a clear start or stops, it constantly changes camera angles and skips around, it doesn't have a timer.

People believe this ... ( 3 months ago by monaroCountry)

People believe this time because it seems believable, they also do not have that cheater tag like Nissan when doing Nur laps. How else can you explain........7:29 480hp and 3800lbs versus 7:59 550hp and 4200lbs. Autocar did two tests on the previous GTR the first for Nissan before the GTR's release this Nissan GTR did a 7:59 lap. Autocar then re tested a production GTR the best they could do was 8:28.

So which part makes ... ( 3 months ago by Tokyotuner)

So which part makes the CTS time more believable, the racing seats, the roll cage (which by GM is needed to mount a camera, what a crappy attempt to cover up), or the crappy video, that doesn't run all the way through and, has a shot (the wheel one) that would have greatly effected the lap time if it was official).

Also so are you ... ( 3 months ago by Tokyotuner)

Also so are you saying that though the GTR though has been tested on numerous tracks and been faster then its competition on all but one, is actually 20 seconds slower then them? And last what does this have anything to do wth the ZR1 vs GTR thing?

Sportauto have just independently tested the new CTS-V around nurburgring. They achieved a lap time of 8:52.26 before the engine dropped a valve and blew on the second lap. Horst von Saurma's review was scathing. Clearly GMs lies are catching up with them. Shame.

Nissan has been ... ( 3 months ago by monaroCountry)

Nissan has been sued for falsely advertising the GTR's ring capabilities. A well known top European professional driver only achieved a 10 minute lap. Before completing a whole lap (typical Nissan trick) the car promptly burnt to the ground. The racing driver and spectators clapped having gotten rid of an ugly monstrosity. On another note a well known top European driver has scored the perfect spy shots of the CTS-V's back end.

I personally thought their response was a bit harsh but hey, who am i to judge?

I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised by the new CTS. If Cadillac makes them more like this, they can be again regain their world class image.

If you think logically, the ZR-1 doing a 10 minutes lap? Yes, if you're 89 years old with cataract and have only one leg.

New cars burn on the ring all the time. Your argument is flawed and idiotic. Dont you remember the new V10 Audi burning or the BMW Hydrogeon car exploding? Shit happens, it doesnt mean they suck. Your just out here trying to get a rise out of people with your stupid comments. Get a life and an education.
