Default first time to the track in the cts-v

hey guys i got to take my 07 cts-v to the track today first time since i bought it just over a month ago

furrent mods, long tube headers, tune and a crappy driver

first pass


i know there is alot left in this car but still getting used to the car

my second pass i screwed up and 1st gear popped out as soon as i started so no pics, too ashamed
a lot of oil downs so didnt get to do any more runs, maybe next time

I drove one of the new CTS-Vs last week and it was definitely the fastest car I have ever been it. These things are insane!

i was shifting at about 6000, and i dunno what the DA i dont have the slip handy right now i will look thought. i guy i know on a local forum was there and is a more experienced drag racer had his camaro out and stated the track wasnt prepped at all (which is the normal there) and the da was horrible.

i want to do a track rental to get more comfortable with the car
