Okay while on 95 North today heading to Kings Dominion to pick up my daughter i was seriously out gunned by a cadilac cts V8 edition with duals that sounded like a race car and accelerated like one also from about 80 he down shifts and stomps it, of course i do the same but know where near the verosity of his load. I did however catch up at about 120 but i believe(know) he could have beat me up till his limiter kicked in. So what i need is for one of my big brother 545's or 550's to find the guy. Black CTS with learjet on the plates and show him some good ole german power and acceleration. Thanks big brother MOM always said you would take care of me little brother 530.

Silly Wabbit, 530is were not meant for racing CTS

What you encountered was the CTS-V with the Corvette engine. I don't think the 545 nor 550 can take the CTS-V. A modified 550 might have a chance, but definitely a M5 can do the job.

You need a M5 to go up against the CTS-V

The moral of the story....
If you have such a big ego, you need to just give in and get the M5.
