Cadillac in the SCCA
I can't quite believe this is a GT car?

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. |

GT means grand touring, it does not mean sports car.

Champion also ran S4s and RS6s in Speed GT for a while.

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.

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) |
