ah to be an automotive journalist...doing that part of the job has got to be heaven!

we all love to lap the porsches and mclarens but i'm interested to lap the cadillacs; to see what all the hype is about with GM's chassis tuning engineers!

I thought the GT500 had a very impressive time. What a sports car!

I always like these LL results.

Give me the Cayman GT4 all day.

I couldn’t agree more. One of my favorite Porsches right now.

Only job I ever loved was test driving cars before they went to Journalists & Celebritys!

I leased an ATS-V sedan for 24months. AMAZING car to drive. Even with Pilot All seasons it just hooked up everywhere, all the time. 0-60 runs (per the PDR) were always 3.9-4.0 on the street.

Handling was amazing to say the least. I've owned a modified STI and LS1 camaro. The Caddy took the best of each and went beyond of course.

I own a perfect running 2010 ISF (45k miles), but the new CT4 & CT5 Blackwings have caught my interest again. If given the financial opportunity, I'd buy the CT4-V BW tomorrow.

Nice, but not for $118K, that's just crazy priced.
