the cts-V are amazing. I only know about the current generation so thats what I'm going by.

It's a great value too for what you are getting.

The toughest decision for me is 2dr or 4dr.

I would prob get it over the M3.

Need to work on when to take off. The trick is the tree. I used to always take off as the 3rd yellow turns off. You can get your et's lower that way. I learned to get my et's pretty low doin it that way. My best 60ft was a 1.6 or 7. Best trap was a 107 on stock turbo. Also work on quickening your shifts.

Nice run non the less.

Your reaction time isn't actually factored into your ET. That only matters for bracket racing.

Thanks for the info.

This isn't my first time at the track. I used to take my '02 WRX to the track every Wednesday night at Sears Point. I was getting 1.8 60 ft. times in the WRX without really trying. But the weak point of my old WRX was the transmission. Its always something isn't it.

I may upgrade the axles on my CTS-V so its not so fragile. And then have some fun in it.

Ed why would you sell subie? It's a family car, has 4 doors. BMW are for old people. I was going to buy new M3, I just could not buy a car I will want once I am older. Don't want to own M3's for 20 years of my life. Figured once im close to 40 it's going to be that time for nice smooth rides! I have a friend with 07 CTS-v there really nice. My next ride is G55 AMG

It's just too loud and bumpy to put a baby into. Also a bit on the small side for that. I guess I could put in a really quiet exhaust and soft suspension, but then I wouldn't be happy with the performance. The M5 is bigger, comfortable, handles well, and has 400hp out of the box. But who knows... I might not like it for too long, but either way I've been itching for something different. I've driven nothing but Subaru's since 2003. The original reason I got a Subaru was actually because I was in Davis and going skiing all the time. These days I'm too busy to make it up there much, so I'd like to try something RWD. The wife will still have a Subaru for the occasional snow trips .

^^^I feel the same. I don't want to expose young ears to constant loud exhuast noise in the back seat. M5 is nice.

Yea, the timing doesn't actually start till you roll through the lights. I lost at Sears Point in a bracket race cause the other guy cut the light .002 better than me. We were both that close to our dial in time.
