I've raced CTS-V's and have beaten all of them pretty easily. Half a length after first then goodbye at the shift to 2nd. But the new one will be a monster, 550 hp LS7. Again I think that is more of an M5 competitor or maybe the GS-F if they ever make it. Also not apples to apples.
Bottom line is, you need new friends. Or you'll be in for a long ride.

A 135 with all those mods should absolutely fly. The power to weight ratio on a car like that with those mods is unbelievable. I've saw a vid of a 135 with a Dinan tune pulling on a Gallardo from a highway 50mph roll. They are fast. Not really apples to apples if you ask me. The ISF weighs 3800 lbs on a good day. So I wouldn't be too surprised by that one.

no kidding bro...i raced the old CTV and it was cake...however..i just got the car a week ago and now my ****ing hating friend decided to upgrade and get LS9 cadillac CTS-V.... all that thing needs is prolly a tune and pully swap and hes pulling at least 700 ponies to the crank... I AM now Scrred ..... reallly Scrrred.....
as far as getting new friends....im down for that!!!! will you be my friend?

Those 135's fu****g fly! I wouldn't be to worried about one that has been modified like that, as DRE1615 said, he saw one start to pull on a Lambo, that shows you the power to weight ratio those things have 
I agree that the CTS-V is more of an M5 competitor. I mean, the F is quick, but those new V's are supposed to be lighting quick
I'm waiting for mods for the F as well, we're just going to have to continue to wait and see
We can all be friends

You know....if it was only about going fast for the least amount of money in a new car, I think everyone (and I mean everyone) would be driving Z06 vettes. I drove a Calloway C6 vette a couple of weeks ago in Texas during the Chevy sales event....580 HP s/c C6 convertable for 65K. full factory warranty and 75 ponies more than a Z06 (but heavier of course).
Bad thing about it is that with the current economy and the way fuel prices have been going lately, I think we might be ending the era of the great HP race we've witnessed overthe last decade. I think the era of 550 + HP sedans might well possibly end with the new Caddy.

I hear you . FYI...I just saw the other day that Greddy filed for bankruptcy. Hopefully this is not an omnious sign of the aftermarket industry for japanese based manufactures and the performance enhancement industry as a whole.
