Wow this thing is a beast: 1/4-mile in 11.07 seconds at 128 mph.

After pulling 0.99g at the start ... OnStar figured they must have been hit from behind.

Check out the video

This "Chevy" will compete with an e60 M5. Caddy has come a long way.

True but what he tried to say is that, you may have a fast car in the garage, even tune already a fast car so that it can smoke cars that cost 2 or 3 times more but...that's only a part of the equation.

Other parts of the equation are (as quoted from someone i really respect):
Design, tradition, history, heritage, exclusivity, marketplace perception, brand and mystique.
You can never compare such a car,and no even the zr1 with cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche
