Default Cadillac V Day

Watch the video and you'll figure out why I reposted it here

...because over here all the spectators would probably have to sign a "hold harmless" and they would keep repeating "don't try this at home" over the P.A. system. And there would be lawyers checking out and having to approve all the stunts

How many lawyers in the US would have to sign off on billions of disclaimers to host an event with human pylons? Great video.

I remember going to watch Joie Chitwood as a kid doing all sorts of crazy stuff like that in a new (at the time) C4. One of those random childhood memories that I'll never forget.

Does anyone know if the "V" engine will be available in the new CTS Coupe. That would be awesome.

I can't imagine Cadillac limiting it to just the 4 door. If anything the coupe would take it over from the sedan.

BTW: no video link anymore
