Well, after fangoriously devouring the GT field at the Sebring Speed World Challenge season opener, the factory Caddilac CTS-V's have been slapped with ten tons of legislation. Originally, thrilled with Caddy's participation, the SCCA made allowances for the CTS-V to make it more competitive. Unfortunately, too many steps were taken in that direction.
Here's the list of restrictions now placed on the CTS-V's.

When the Cadillac CTS-V next appears at an SCCA SPEED GT race, it will weigh 200 lbs more than Sebring, be restricted 30 percent more on airflow (to a total of 50 percent restriction), have a rev limit of 7000 rpm (900 rpm lower than Sebring) and be limited to a maximum of 49 percent rear weight distribution. The air intake Team Cadillac developed for Sebring will be the system specified on the car’s Vehicle Technical Specifications (VTS) for the remainder of the season.
