Four Doors = Touring Car.

Plus it fails the "would it look out of place with a TAXI sign on the roof" test.

The Caddies are very fast and well balanced.

seeing these things race - it happens to have 4 doors but it smokes proper GT's all day, they sound awesome...
and "SpeeD GT" is not really 'GT racing' per se it is gt like with the variety of machinery- but maybe the ACO/FIA should open up the rules a bit for these
Man- good thing someone is picking up the caddy helm to keep them in the races.

Actually the FIA has a neat series called....the FIA GT3 championship. It is Speed GT not Americanized for everyonelse to follow and enjoy more similar to the LMS and FIA GT1/GT2 races...you should check it out.


Does anyone know if these are the cars from Pratt that raced last year?

Yes they're the P&M cars.

btw - The Speed series uses Toyo street tires.

Yes, but the Touring 4 door caddies were faster then the GT3 AM that showed up, plus faster then many other cars too.

If you throw enough money at it , you can make almost any car fast and balanced.

I thought Caddy were not going to race 08 since the CTS-V are no longer made?

Caddies were sold to private teams to race in 2008.

You live in the US and you haven't seen those Caddy adds with a great looking brunette that says, "When you turn your car on, Does it return the favor"?

The new CTSv will be out in 2009 with a supercharged engine ( 625 bhp)

He's talking about Kate Walsh formerly of Greys Anatomy and now has her own show, Private Practice.
