The 911 GT3 RS is lighter than the Cadillac CTS-V by about a thousand pounds. That is significant. However, it has much less power and much less torque. The GT3 RS should win this race but not in the fashion portrayed in the video.

The exaggerated difference makes it looks like the GT3 RS traps 20 miles per hour higher than the Caddy. The way the race should look is the CTS-V's torque advantage keeps it with the GT3 RS at the start as the GT3 RS slowly edges it out and pulls gear by gear.

Let's get real here, the CTS-V traps just over 121 miles per hour in the 1/4 mile and makes 580 lb-ft of torque to the wheels from a positive displacement blower. It has a mountain of torque early in the rev range. The GT3 RS is maybe a 127 car on a real strip and not in a magazine test.

This race should not look like this and it's another example of Gustav muddying the waters for views.
