The best episodes are the Alabama challenge...

 

Great episode. Jeremy still dogs on the Corvette for being "plastic" and being built by two fat guys in Kentucky, but it was funny how he was counting the stitches on the driver's door panel. 170 MPH flying mile in a car that doesn't belong to you sounds pretty awesome.

"Simple traction control. On or off. Are you paying attention Ferrari?"

 

Saw this episode a while ago, i want their job so freaking bad.

 

chad we should make our own show, could get interesting.

 

lol

 

yeah that previous comment made it into the dungeon. rephrase: we should create a topgear like show of our own.

 

Given the price tags the Caddy CTS-V with 556HP is a real buy. You can pick one up for just a little over $50K, and the only difference is the Caddy only has one intercooler where the $100K Vette has two. They both blow the SRT-8 Challenger away with the $10K -- stealer mark up over MSRP -- (who said they were hurting, just build more SRT-8Challengers, until the price comes down) and it only has 425HP and is more expensive than the Caddy. Looks like the bargain of the bunch.

I agree the CTS/V is a great car. There are however more differences in the engine than just the ic (as you may know). Titanium connecting rods in the Vette for example. Chevy has a table in one of the brochures that lists specs on the two powerplants side by side. I have no doubt you get get reliable hp increase on the CTS/V, just more margin on the Vette.
