That Cts-V is a Hennessey Car, I beleive its one of the first "modded" V2's to actually make a pass. Most of these cars have not even made it to their owners yet. Just wait about 6 more months and we should have some great results.
Im interested to see what this yields - http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...-guess-hp.html

drifting is the motorsports version of figure skating. it cute and takes a lot of practice and control but is not a sport.
on a serious not for a serious conversation: to drift you have to spin the tires, when the tires spin there is really no pressure on anything in the driveline. so drifting is no where near a brutal test to a cars performance. the only thing drifting tests is the ability of the tuner to make the rev limiter a soft limit (spark cut not fuel) so that the motor doesn't grenade. the suspension isn't a good example cause all you are doing is putting coilovers on the car and tuning in rake and oversteer so that the car becomes flickable, not really anything different then tuning in a car to do the opposite. by all means drifting is fun and has a huge following but by no means is it a good test for a car, nor is any one car better then another. as long as a set of coilovers and camber/caster plates are made for the car, any car can drift.

Let's not forget the all-important increased steering angle, windage tray and extra strong manual rear brake. Extreme engineering!
