I saw that too. It sorta kinda looked like the FLYING Mercedes.

Speaking of "Caddies", guess who is going big time racing... Cadillac!  I've
seen their Le Mans entry for next year... it looks, well, interesting.  A
Cadillac prototype race car, somehow that just doesn't sound right.

                Harley's, Ferraris, NASCAR, CART, INDY, Porsche, BMW all at
high RPM are not
                a Caddy at idle.

                According to Craig Smith:

                > They will trumpet !

                > I just love it!
                > 

                Why do Americans equate noise with performance??  The two
are
                not directly proportional.  I am looking forward to getting
                rid of the JC Whitney exhaust some idiot before me put on my
                Spitfire and returning it to stock.  Should eliminate one
                source of (literal) headaches.
