I'd love a shot at your CTS-V. I don't think I'd win, but I wonder how long I'd be able to stay close.

the suspension is designed around a road coarse not the drag strip. I have never drag raced it but I do know they have bad wheel hop off the line and if you don't get your foot out of it when it hops you are gonna be towing the car home. I mainly autoX this car and it is very impressive for a 4000lb sled.

Those are quick. I raced one of those when I had my 03 GT vert with almost full bolt ons. I raced it three times...every race was the same. I tore him out of the hole like he was standing still, pulled 3 cars and by 75-80mph he was side by side with me. I know had we gone to the full 1/4 mile he would have had a good car or 2 on me.

As you said it seems like they fail on the launch, but after they got out of the hole they come like a fright train outta hell. They are beasts for sure.
