There really are only a handful of us that run the school bus on track, this is one of the fastest, or was till he had his Hemi expire. I understand it is almost ready to get back on track!

Re: One of my west coast brothers
I see Caddy has jumped into the sport wagon ring..
"The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon is endowed as expected with Cadillac's wicked 556-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that makes 551 pound-feet of torque. It's fitted with a true dual-exhaust system and backed up by either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission."
A manual 6 speed in a 550hp Caddy station wagon. All factory. Who would have ever dreaamed?

I don't know about you but something about a Wagon with a V8 producing 500whp just makes my jaw drop .. although that last rear quarter panel looks like the back side to a Hurse.

I grew up driving my Dad's '69 Chrysler Town and Country wagon with a 440 6-pak police special and factory "pursuit" suspension package. Dad kept wondering why the passenger motor mount kept breaking....
Mom had a '72 Vista Cruiser with the clerestory windows with a big block and Holley in it - I think it was a 455. I recall the huge twin airscoop with a red strip that read OLDSMOBILE ROCKET. It had a slip N slide in it - 2 speed Hydromatic. When the torque converter let loose, it looked like the scene from Star Wars where they jump to Lightspeed...
High HP wagons are a long tradition.

"..and that Caddy pulled over and let us by..." That 300C SRT8 sure does chew up some real estate! Nice vid.. Wish the wifes 300C moved like that! Alas...just a 6cyl..and still, she manages to get tickets..
