So, reading into the LL (at least the pages I have), I think the biggest overall suprise to me is the CTS V-Sport. This thing took out the new Sti and the M235i around the track. This is a 4,000+lb 420hp TT V6 boat that just happens to have a damn good suspension set-up apparently along with a decent engine and brakes.

AHEM, according to C&D the CTS v-sport they tested was a MERE 3966.

I have A.D.D. but didn't C&D destroy the engine in their Vette during the Lightning Lap... how many laps did they get in? does it say why it died?

I don't have my issue here at work but I think once they got their 2:53.x lap (or whatever it was) that was the end of the engine.
Well, the C&D long term corvette engine died, but it sounds like it may have been an issue with the oil filter? Did they use their long term Vette on the lightning lap?
I believe it's the same Vette.

Wonder why they didn't test 2014 SRT jeep with new for '14 8 speed paddle shifter transmission?

I would like to see the jeep lap time.
