I'm stock as well. I just got new tires. Planning to run in sport mode with traction disabled using paddles. Last time I ran a 12.3. Any guesses on how the CTSv will do?

This is per Road & Track...so it could be a good run for you as long as he is stock? Good luck

12.3 is REALLY good for a stock IS-F. He'll beat you, but if he smokes the tires and you get going first, he'll have to play catch up and then he'll walk you. I believe STOCK, they go in the high teens and F stock goes in the low teens so it's really not getting smoked but rather walked.

Just use 108 octane and you'll crush him

I ran a stock Cts-v before, and he passed me around 50mph with the tires smoking. I got spanked! My car is stock.

does anyone else feel like the cts -v is a pretty decently rare care, def less than m3's and c63's it seems like to me anyway.

Nothing is more humble than being first hand experienced.
