I currently have a 9 second 1100hp 3rd gen cts-v that the plaid+ will be replacing. Even though they are roughly the same hp and I love the caddy, the plaid+ will destroy it in 0-60 and quarter mile trap speeds. Also, the caddy is always in some state of broken.... blower failures, engine rebuilds, leaks, belts breaking, tuning issues, you name it. I'll miss the big cam sound/feel of a forced induction V8 but won't miss constant rebuilds, repairs, oil changes, smelling like race gas/e85, emptying catch cans, replacing spark plugs, and not being able to drive it in the rain/snow (drag radials). Going faster without having to dump crazy money in to warranty voiding modifications just sounds appealing to me. The plaid+ will be a usable car year round for me and have more than double the range I get out of the caddy. It's a no brainer for me.... ICE is dead and the EPA is ruining it for the steetcar/racing enthusiast anyway.
