Also WTF Rnady Pobst is an insane driver. He's the only dude I know who is able to drive a manual car faster than a modern automatic. I remember in the M3/M4 video... he was able to take the less powerful, non competition G82 around the track quicker than the G80 comp with the auto. Absolutely bananas.

I was quite surprised to see the CT5 beat the M5 on the track but I guess it does prove Cadillac's point. When they introduced the car they said they didn't want AWD as it wouldn't improve its track performance. Would be very interested to see how it does on the Nürburgring.
The Tesla beating it is not too surprising, I'm sure it made up a lot of lost time from the corners on the straights, but still I cannot get over that yoke!
