Please forgive my ignorance but was is a "cad"? I'm thinking I have a good idea, but just have a feeling I don't have it right.

I have to agree, the cad should destroy a mildly modded 5.0, I saw one run on the tv show "pass time" it was a young dude driving it (maybe 19, completely stock cad) he had a pretty decent launch, the car ran very strong, I'm racking my brain trying to remember what he ran, I think it was high 11's, 11:89 or something like that, and on just street tires, put some drag radials on, cut the 60 foot down and I'd bet it would run closer to 11:40's-11:50's.

The CTS-V creams the M3, and the M3 and 5.0 are a pure driver's race. You won't stand a chance without FI or some serious N/A work.

go to the track and race him. chances are he'll screw up on the launch, screw up on shifting, or spin the tires.. or he wont and beat a car thats less than 1/2 the price of his car and N/A. congrats to him. anything can happen though.

Yeah, I think unless he gets two flats immediately after launching (do they have run flats???)...you MIGHT only get beat by about 4 or 5 car lengths.
The CTS-V coupes are sexy as hell and although I haven't seen real 1/4 mile tests yet, I would think it to be a low 12 second car with a monkey driving it.

Love the stangs and all, but good luck with that one!

My neighbor has that Caddy and we ran em a few times (we live out in the country) and I never came close to beating him. He steadily pulled away from me until my ego couldn't take it anymore, lol. Only thing I could say is, at least I paid 30K less!!! Seriously, that Caddy is sweeeet!!!

well you can beat him depending on his run if you took it to the track and did the 1/4 mile. It would require some decent mods. Heres what evo did with there auto 5.0, it is a couple thousand dollars in mods though. Took this from there vid on youtube

Evolution Performance, Inc. - 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L 4V Automatic Runs 11.91@117MPH With Street Tires!

We wanted to see what times could be achieved with D.O.T. Street Tires on Stock Wheels, which 80% of the people buying these cars will be using. This car is geared more towards the Street/Strip group using 100% Street Components!

To watch the thing pull away from the mighty GT500 is impressive indeed....

ya but the gt500 only ran 12.6 there, iv seen someone on here run 12.5 in there completely stock 5.0. The gt500 suffers bad stock tires so it has traction issues.
