Bob Lutz savors his morning cup of Maximum, as he contemplates a wet, foggy day of racing at Monticello. Competitors will get five laps of the 3.5 mile track… assuming all those ponies at the rear wheels don’t leave Cadillacs scattered across the infield. Early practice video shows a CTS-V shouting at the devil on the main straight, but in these conditions the corners are the issue. Updates will be posted as they come in from our man behind the wheel, Mad Jack Baruth.

It looks as if the M3 is the car to beat. Which makes me wonder whether a simple $40K 335 is the fastest sport sedan in the world.
Bob Lutz posts 2:56:321 for his best lap. Aaron Link (CTS-V) posts 2:48:902 as best time for group.
The whole thing is pointless and ludicrous. Why bother?
