Yup.

It's good to hear. Caddy had done some nice stuff, styling wise, and more choices are better. They've come so far from the "Caddy that zigs". ;)

Let me know what you think of it. I won't hit the track again until the 27th of this month or the 3rd of next month. Hopefully I can get a session in................Phil

What about the CTS-V Coupe, did you get to drive one of those?

I did drive the coupe as well. Same drive feel for most part.

I read an article online recently that the CTS-V line is one of the hottest selling cars in Dubai. I'm an airline pilot and fly there frequently, you do see a lot them on the street, good for GM!!:thumbup:

:wow: 1M coupe is one amazing ride on the track. Had lot of fun. Amazing grip on the slalom. With short wheel base it has very good handling on track. Its going to be one heck of a track car.

Was it stock or did it have track mods? Also how was the turbo lag (if any)....was it unpredictable or was the car ready when you were?........Phil

As stock as it could be. No turbo lag whatsoever, power is there when I needed it. The car has lot of potential.
I have not seen any reviews talking of turbo lag on 1M.
2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe Prototype First Drive - Motor Trend

Imagine 1M with 450hp and 630Nm torque

I have not driven one, but I find it hard to believe BMW has truely eliminated the lag. It IS there on the 335 (and every other turbo engine they insist doesn't have it). I know they have done a good job minimizing it, but I don't believe they have eliminated it in any of their turbos. Although the torque is much better, these turbos still have lag compared to the N/A M engines.
