What Would Heinricy Do?

Earlier this month I conducted a little track test, Can You Drive Faster Than The Computer?, and ended up stirring quite the controversy.
Garage419 joins John Heinricy, GM's in-house track junkie and director of high preformance vehicles, for a test drive of the new supercharged Cadillac CTS-V around Monticello Motor Club. I'll spare you the de rigeur fastest whatevercar ever catchphrase.
Watch below answers to titillating questions like these and more:
  • Why set a track record with an engineer and not a pro racecar driver?
  • How badass is the CTS-V really?
  • Does John Heinricy use stability control or traction control?

  1. Without entering the "Great Debate" realm, I can safely state a few things:

    1) Lap-times are best made with gizmos "off."

    2) It's fantastic that GM have given drivers the option to ~more or less~ defeat the gizmos on all of their higher-performance vehicles, thus far. This is a point missed by some.

    3) Both Heinricy, and the CTS-V are both "bad-asses."

    I enjoyed this sanity-check exercise.
