Sorry...but I'm not impressed. Nobody ever raced a dyno at a racetrack.
I could mount a crew cab truck on a dyno with a monster engine in it. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be fast at the track.

It laps the Ring in under 8 minutes. That's faster than a C5 Corvette. Impressive.

And it would be even FASTER if it just had TWO DOORS.

BTW...nobody has mentioned price?

It's expensive, but compared to an M5 or an AMG 63 not too bad. It is coming out in a 2-door later by the way:

Fast enough when on my way to corporate take over meetings. I'd use a turbo FoxBody at the strip or something else purpose built.

$60k-$69k, which is CHEAP in this category. I'd totally buy one if a) I needed a car b) had the money c) wasn't so pissed at the UAW. But other than that.

I wouldn't count on ANY of those future/concept cars coming out. Barry O is gonna insist on "green cars" that run on used hamburger grease or wind power from the big 3.

I would never buy that version of a Caddy anyway. Give me one of those big 4-door slugs if I am gonna have luxury.
