GM just ran the V for its offical time around the ring with John Heinricy driving for an impressive time under 8:00 Is the CTS _V_ the fastest Sedan ever? I guess its official. [http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot\_lists/car\_shopping/latest\_news\_reviews/2009\_cadillac\_cts\_v\_outruns\_the\_bmw\_m3\_and\_m5\_at\_the\_ring\_car\_news](http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/latest_news_reviews/2009_cadillac_cts_v_outruns_the_bmw_m3_and_m5_at_the_ring_car_news) I think I am in love with this car. Here is a link of the vid: [http://cadillac.gmblogs.com/](http://cadillac.gmblogs.com/) It was the automatic version too! GM haters chime in. ---

But what if the GT-R had 2 more doors? I like that they are making it turn as well as go fast in a straight line. Thats what makes the current one fun. Did you see my post about Summit Point? ---

heh bump was talking with a co-worker today that got a chance to drive this beast recently. He told me that they set a record with this car @ the ring, must of missed this post. I wonder when they’ll hit dealerships… I really want to test drive one, he said the car is an animal… stab the throttle and you’re instantly pinned back in your seat. ---

Now that the four-door Porsche Panamera has been thrust upon the world, it was only a matter of time before one the test drivers from Weissach brought the crown back to the fatherland. The 500-horsepower Panamera Turbo lapped the Nordschleife in 7 minutes, 56 seconds, 3 seconds faster than the Cadillac. > **[Fun while it lasted: Porsche Panamera Turbo reportedly tops Cadillac CTS-V's...](https://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/12/fun-while-it-lasted-porsche-panamera-turbo-reportedly-tops-cadi/)** > > 2010 Porsche Panamera – Click above for high-res image gallery I am sure the new M5 will be gunning for a sub 7:50 lap ---
