What started as a typically unscripted remark from Bob Lutz during a phone conference with journalists turned into something quite unusual -- Cadillac and Bob bringing some fun back into the car business.

The Lutz/V-Series Challenge was a simple premise -- Bob challenged some motoring journalists, and a private car owners, to a time-trial duel. "Run what you brung," was the format, a competition among the world's best high-performance sedans, including the remarkable Cadillac CTS-V.   It happened Oct. 29 at the new Monticello Motor Club in New York, with 3 top auto journalists, 5 private car owners, a few sports car legends and some incredible machines, in front of a crowd of VIP spectators, camera crews and countless enthusiasts following on the web.

Here are links to many different aspects of this unprecedented (and fun!) happening:
