All hail Cadillac!

The new CTS-V had broken the lap record for the Nurburgring! All hail Cadillac! All hail the CTS-V!
The world has needed a truly gnarly Cadillac for a long, long time. M5? We don't need no stinkin' M5!
Part of the reason behind the emergence of cars like the CTS-V out of General Motors is the presence of product development executives like John Heinricy, who is the one who pedaled the CTS-V to this record time. Watch his magic here:

You might not need the M5 for the =go=, but a current CTS-V owner of my acquaintance will tell anyone who asks that he considers the interior of his car to be cheaply finished, considering its cost.
Then again, the sound of an angry M5 V-10 is awe inspiring, even for an old timer like me, who was raised in the (nineteen) sixties, when a Ferrari V-12 was the Platinum-Iridium Meter Bar measure of Gearhead Gnarlyness.
