"Even more surprising is the interior. Trimmed by the people who do the Bugatti Veyron, it is — and you won’t believe this — a nice place to be.

The Cadillac is mind-bogglingly fast. The manual version I drove will hit 191mph. And it accelerates with a verve that truly leaves you breathless. It also makes an utterly irresistible growl. Like an AMG Mercedes but more refined."

Its all here.....

And in case Randy, aka SYCO, reads this post, he will be utterly depressed, so be nice to Randy as he weeps over the M5 loss......

Randy, needs to send his M5 to Shadowman to freshen it up!

Ah yes, the Mighty M5. I owned a modified 2001 e39 M5, not the big, heavy, overstyled land yacht that masquerades as today's M5...

I had to sell it to a friend to make room for the all conquering Ford GT.

Recvd an invite to a track day Nov 6 & 7 for the CTS intro at Monticello. If I lived on the East Coast I would give it a go. Car looks great, but I am not interested in a Chevy.
