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

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.
