This was a stock Cadillac CTS V Coupe that I ran against. The ground level temps that day was surely hotter than 85° . I thought CTS V coupes ran 11s stock ?

Downpipes arriving on monday and will be installed sometime this week and I will be back on the track again
Best time, multiple times, I did on this event day was 12.2 in those current temps
Nice kill. Your car is running very strong!!!!
yes the Vs CAN run 11.9s stock....i ran a 12.1@117 stock
I was thinking the heat had a big impact on the CTV's performance that day. The 335iS was just better equipped for those temps.
The 60' was dead on equal for both cars along with traction, and the caddy had the jump
@BuraQ
I am sure you are in on this man but when is the end of production for the 335is with the N54 or should I say, when is the latest date that I can order a brand new one with the N54?
335is are only sold with N54's, so as long as your dealer has an allocation on a 2013 go for it.Quote:

The 335iS 2013 production will start in June 2012 from what I recall.. Based on previous end of production time lines, it should put the last production date of the 2013 335iS at March-April of 2013.Quote:

I recently just purchased 2012 335is after trading in my Xi and will begin to go back to fbo+meth shortly. I just wanted inquire about if you have any slippage with the DTC when driving in D or S when it auto downshifts during WOT and what kind of RWHP your putting down? Also been practicing your modified launch control my tire's say "thank you" lol
384 whp / 429 wtq on a mustang dyno in 93°-95° temps, just got my CP-E downpipes so I will be saying hello to 11s soon.
No I dont see any slippage unless I use LC too much within a consecutive period of time and that is all depending on temps.
Damn.. Nice run! Haha, I wonder what the V driver was thinking. What are your mods? Anything other than the tune?
-TZ
RENNtech tune, Dinan FMIC, Dinan Free Flow Exhaust, aFe Stage 2 Elite CAI.......and CP-E HighFlow Catted Downpipes getting installed this week, just got them today.Quote:

From what was understood, no. At the level the tune is at on my car there is no need. All is left to the DME to do its own thing after the installQuote:

The CTS-V is not an 11 second car, especially in that Florida weather.
Stock V with an auto trans in that heat seems right... If it had any mods at all that trap speed jumps
The CTS-V with its 6.2 liter supercharged LSA V8 is a very potent car. In a drag race it is expected to run low 12's but what happens in the video below versus a Renntech tuned DCT 335is goes to show how big of an effect conditions can have especially on a positive displacement supercharged car generating a lot of heat such as the CTS-V. This run took place at PBIR (Palm Beach International Raceway) in 85 degree weather and 1800+ Density Altitude.
The 335 manages a [email protected] to the CTS-V's [email protected]. The CTS-V and 335 are both capable of more but in hot weather that is what they run. Many people make the mistake of taking a fast time (such as a Z06 running a 10 at MIR in the winter) and thinking the car is always capable of it. The weather has a huge effect on performance.
nice
Ive seen "tunned pullied" ctsv's run poorly in great weather also
BuraQ, would you say purchasing an 335IS worth the extra money if the car is going to get modded eventually?
Awesome Run!
Another RENNtech Stablemate, @BuraQ great job fellow RENNtech homey!!
then the driver couldnt drive for shit...tuned pullied Vs do low 11s all dayQuote:

I think Ive only seen a couple here, arent they running the same engine the Vette is?
