This weekend was a good one for the annual "everyone bring out your summer car day" in the north.  The sunny weather and mild temps allowed for some fun encounters.  I was in the passenger seat of a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V, and we were lucky enough to play around with a Saleen Mustang S281 for a little while.  It was all pretty safe because there wasn't much traffic, and it was in a rural area. It was just fun to open the V up, especially the 2nd to 3rd throw, which is around 70mph.  The Saleen kept up well, but I think we pulled a little faster given that it wasn't the supercharged S281. I recommend only doing this when it's safe, and we never hit triple digits. When it comes to this stuff, safety is first.
