Pretty cool that the ATS-V edged out the C63 S. Also, no M3/4?

I think it was Lieberman who posted a pic of the ATS-V sitting in the paddock and one of the execs form Cadillac replied “That better be an automatic.” Within minutes three people from Cadillac contacted them asking if they could drop an auto version off.

RC-F 2.4 seconds behind a much more powerful C63 AMG-S, not too bad. Also, If I were a Porsche 911 owner, i’d be mad

No kidding, that GT4 is a 911 killer.

I was surprised at how good the ATS-V sounds. No M3/4 because they aren’t all new or significantly updated. The M4 was in the competition last year.
I’m hoping next year we see the GT, GT350/R, Viper ACR, Huracan, and 488. Looking forward to that.

Ehhh, watch Randy run the RC-F and his commentary afterwards. People won’t be happy with that thing at the track.

I keep forgetting that you guys are a year behind when it comes to this stuff.
Anyway I couldn’t give a shit about the lap times since everybody cheats anyway.
What I’m waiting for is the drag race even if the last one was kind of rubbish. Should be interesting to see how the Z06 does since it apparently sucks in a long straight line.

Holy shit, quite the lineup for that tier of supercar. I mean, not as stellar as the supercar tier’s lineup on this one (R35, 458, LFA, SLS, Boss, C6 Z06, R8, 997 RS):
or as brutish as this one (new R35, C63 Black, XKR-S, GT500, ZL1, the Aventador is one tier higher)
or as long-bodied (save for the Porsche and Ford) as this one (Viper, SLS Black, WAGON!!!, M6, Continental, Jag, another R35)
but it’d suffice, considering the 4th edition featured lower-tier sports (only supercar-tiered entries are 911 Turbo S and yet another R35).
Note that I said supercar-tier, which includes the cars you mentioned.
