Default Nothing to prove to "Cadzilla"

At a stop light yesterday about 11 am on 3 lane boulevard with 45 mph speed limit.

In pole positions at the light it's me in C7, a 2015 Mustang GT and a Cadillac CTS-V with license plate, "Cadzilla", pearl white with 2 big fat Navy Blue racing stripes on top of car from hood to rear fascia.

So, guess which one of us was the idiot that took off like we were at a drag strip and did a 0-130 mph run?

If the Mustang was stock, he knew he was outgunned. Would've been interesting if the CTS-V was stock against a stock C7, but as many CTS-Vs out there that are modded, and a plate like that, I doubt it was stock.

Ive developed a bit of a habit of racing myself when I am first at the light, just to feel it go. with that said I get out of the pedal way before 130.

the wife yells at me for speeding but I say im only doing 45 ( the speed limit ) she states " yea , but you cant be at 45 before you get across the intersection

I still don't understand y not .

so I have destroyed every Honda , Toyota, dump truck, semi or whatever else dared to happen to be next to me at a light

and man is it fun

Here he is. Wife snapped a shot previously, when he was driving somewhat sane.

I own both (Z51 and Vcoupe) and love them both. Thank you GM for making a Cadillac (now two) that Vette and Porsche owners have to worry about getting bested by. Lol as my GF almost beat me the other day while she was behind the wheel of my Caddy.

Had a Mustang pull up beside me at 60 mph on the highway the other day, stay beside me for 30 secs or so and then roared the engine in neutral (sounded like a stock car) wanting to go. What a ********. My wife and I just laughed, in time he moved on.

I thought it was going to be you and how you knocked off two challenges at once.
