Not yet ... maybe Harris Hill at the end of June. Wanna go?
More One Lap CTS V info ... http://blogs.motortrend.com/6674409/one-la...rica/index.html QUOTE A black Cadillac CTS-V, piloted by Howard LaFever, touches the gravel trap, but briefly. The car ends up upside-down on the other side of the catch fence and cement barrier. Reports are conflicting -- LaFever allegedly claims no brakes -- but the recipe is obvious: The CTS-V is approaching turn 12, a sharp left, at over 100 mph. It doesn't slow. The car turns, presumably the driver's effort to make the turn, and skips across the gravel trap before going airborne and flipping onto its roof. The damage looks terrifying, but LaFever walks away with just a cut on his finger.
We try catching up with LaFever in the pits, but he's missing. Some say he's been taken to the hospital despite being unharmed, others say he's out buying a new car to continue the week. |

First Gens (04-07) have an advertised weight of 3850
Second Gens(09+) have an advertised weight of 4250 I didn't understand why the rear rotors were about a 1/2" larger than the fronts till I realized how large the e-bake drum had to be in order to clear the rear CV joint. |

Nice ride! Good for you Mitch.
I'd love to snap one up myself. I look forward to your evaluation after tracking it! |
