Acceleration racing does not attract me too, but this in particular has its charms. Faces a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon of no less than 564 hp with its V8 engine and a Chevrolet Corvette rigged a power close to 480 hp. The race takes place in the Mirage Dry Lake , where the soil frequently welcomes petrified evidence of acceleration and top speed.
The Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is one of the quickest ways to transport children to school. One of two, or ever want to get off or be willing to do Ideally completes the 0-100 km / h in barely 4.3 seconds and even makes screeching tires on the unpaved ground the Mirage Dry Lake.
The Chevrolet Corvette develops about 480 hp thanks to the tinkering of your engine. Are 76 fewer horses but it also has much less weight… and finally the victory stands.
Tyre smoking can not finish their videos without star some geese. It all ends with a service call OnStar for GM and Saab (something like a telephone helpline service, remote diagnostics and security are some cars of certain brands in the U.S.) to comment that just put a stop their car in a lake dry…
