light turned green, and we both raced forward. these are back roads around where we live, so no traffic, barely any cars at all, but we have about 100 yards to accelerate.
After the first 50 feet, where we were almost dead even, me slightly ahead, I then pulled away substantially by the end of our little adventure.
We stopped ahead and he said wow. Great car!!
thank you, see ya around.

if that's what happened in a short straight line test, I'd really enjoy a nice track test.

Nice to see to "competitors" act like gentlemen. And no Grey Poupon exchanged hands.

It would be nice to see a head to head on video. The stuff that I've run across pertains to the previous CT or CTS vs the X5M/X6M (mechanical twins).

Here's something from the X5M after a 600 mile break-in. (no rollout and slightly uphill.......and run in Mexico)
