CTS-V Challenge - um, yeah. CTS-V’s kick butt
October 30, 2009 - 1:05 pmThe results of yesterday’s CTS-V challenge are out and, as you might expect, the CTS-V cleaned up on Monticello’s 3+ mile track.
Taking 1st-3rd and 5th-7th and 10th places – the V’s acquitted themselves quite well.
The best challenger was a BMW M3 in the 4th spot. 8th was filled with what many consider the V’s closest competitor, the BMW M5. The M5 with it’s 500hp was fewer than 3 seconds ahead of the 9th place Mitsubishi Evolution.
11th-12th were brought up by the Jaguar XF (note, Jaguar was supposed to supply an XF-R for the competition but felt that its brakes were not up to the task of competitive laps and backed out at the last minute) and the Audi RS4.
See the official results below:

October 19, 2007 - 3:13 pmUpdate: While Autoweek.com is reporting that this is true – our contact with GM PR will not yet confirm that Cadillac is indeed getting out of the SCCA series, though we were told an announcement will be made soon.
Cadillac announced today that they would not be competing in next season’s SCCA Speed World Challenge.
This appears to be an effort to not campaign the previous generation CTS-V race cars while waiting for the new CTS-V to debut – rather than any concerns about money spent or lack of success by the team.
The team to make their return once the next CTS-V is available.
