Cadillac CTS-V Wagon vs Challenger SRT-8 vs C63 AMG

Say what you will about American cars, but they do have character by the buckets and they really are fast in a straight line. A couple of real musclecars made their way from their US factories to the Russian capital, Moscow. There they settled once and for all who’s the champion that will take on the dreaded Germans.
In one corner, we have a tuned Dodge Challenger SRT-8, which now produces 620 hp and in the other a stock 556 Cadillac CTS-V wagon. When it comes to class, built quality and practicality, the Cadillac is in a different class. But on a track, the Dodge Challenger has its number.

Right, time to bring out the Germans! As the 600 horsepower C63 AMG enters the fray, the SRT knows it’s going to have a real challenge on its hands. Despite a slight power advantage, the Dodge just can’t keep up with its factory tuned AMG distant cousin.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
