@patina.research Repeat after me I don’t need a CTS V but goddamn do I want one. This is the Pratt and Miller Cadillac CTS V race car that competed in the mid 2000s Speed World Challenge. Cadillac actually hired Pratt and Miller to design and develop the car from the ground up. Cadillac won both the manufacturers and drivers championships in 2005, only their second season racing the CTS V, and took the title again in 2007. The car is based on the original CTS V chassis and runs an LS6 V8 with a six speed manual transmission. Chassis number 001 was sold last year for around 120k.
