Video: Chevy Corvette Z06 Centennial goes head-to-head with Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in Burnout Super Test

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Videos , Cadillac , Chevrolet One rear-drive coupe with over 500 horsepower would be enough for most automakers. But not General Motors . The biggest of the Detroit automakers just couldn’t get by with what some rivals would put on a showroom turntable with more flood-lights than an ATF raid.
