    Bob Lutz to race CTS-V against RS4, others

    Looks pretty sweet, hope the RS4 - and as importantly, it's driver - put up a good showing! Note: no new Panamera Turbo owners were selected

    Well, since started and continued this thread without any outside interest, let me conclude it - the RS4 got it's ass whooped. Last of the day. Yes, just owners, not professional drivers. But it got a 3:15 lap time. An M3 got a 2:50. Bummer.

    Certainly shows that driver skill is very important, for a true performance comparison you would need to have every driver drive all of the cars. The RS4 was the slowest, but one of the CTS-V driven by a normal owner (like the RS4) was only a second quicker.

    Nevertheless, sound like a fun event.

    Funny that the kid in the M3 with 100hp less spanked Lutz.
