I've been following this story recently, and thought I'd make sure you gentlemen are aware of tomorrow's (Oct. 29) race whereby General Motors Company’s Vice Chairman Bob Lutz will be racing a Cadillac CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club against those have have accepted his challenge. Of course, there was a screening process in place, but it all appears to be very legitimate at this point. I think this will be interesting, because the Caddy truly does have credible specs... 6.2L supercharged V8 (LSA) that produces 556-hp with a peak torque of 551 lb-ft. 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed of 195 mph (6-speed manual, 171 mph with 6-speed A/T.) To my surprise... just today, it seems Jaguar has changed their mind and will pull their XFR out of the race... Reason? Apparently, Jaguar said that the XFR lacks better brake cooling and probably couldn’t lap the Monticello without endangering the driver. Shame on you, Jaguar... you are no Leaper, just a pussycat. Tomorrow is the day. Any predictions on the results? (Brief off-topic note: I believe this is now the market "correction" I was talking about. I personally went back in a little too early, but nonetheless, think about being ready to buy at/near the lows.) TM

Replying to: tagman (Oct 28, 2009 8:47 am) We have appropriate places to pursue the off-topic interests that some of you have. We are simply asking that you use them. If you use the features related to Watched Items, it is a snap to follow several topics at one time and not even care that you have moved from one to another. You folks really should try it instead of dismissing it out of hand.

Replying to: jlbl (Oct 28, 2009 8:58 am) I am sorry, this is not negotiable. Please see my last post as I added a suggestion about Watched Items. Let's not get off track on a debate that doesn't have more than one outcome. Thanks, I really appreciate your cooperation.
