700 hp is too much for OnStar

Bob Lutz's challenge aside, there's no denying that the Cadillac CTS-V is one seriously impressive performer. It's only made all the more so by Hennessey's 700-plus-horsepower treatment of the car. But you know it's a whole different ball game when a street car accelerates so hard it activates its GM OnStar emergency system.

That's exactly what happens in the video below, with a Hennessey CTS-V700 running an 11-second, 128-mph quarter mile last week. The car rockets off the line, spinning the tires through first, most of second, and part of third, hitting at least 0.99 g of longitudinal acceleration along the way. And that's apparently enough to trigger the on-board sensor's "vehicle event" emergency alert system and merit a call from OnStar.

That is just retardedly powerful.

The CTS and the CTS-V is on my very short list of American cars I would like to own.

By a small margin. Strange thing is, I've never liked Corvettes. I've always favored the Viper.

IIRC, I read somewhere that the brakes for one of those monster Caddilacs (It might of been the new CTS-V) are so powerful that if you do an emergency stop from 100mph-0, it stops so quickly that Onstar calls you because the deceleration is as fast that Onstar thinks it's a car accident.

Yup, read some angry things people said on the forums on (bad) things that were done to their cars.

The guy is probably good at engineering but not-so-good at business/customer relations. But in any case, who cares? Anyone here even have a Viper?

nns 10-27-2009 08:35 AM
^Didn't that ws6ta guy have one before?

Now thats retarded. You accelerate too fast, you get a call from OnStar, you stop too fast, you get a call from OnStar. :rolleyes:

one reason to not want on - star.

if they can detect and monitor your vehicle systems, put shit in your navigation, and unlock your doors for you, its sure as FUCK they can hand over any information the police ask for when you get in an accident. I'm sure they log every time you speed excessively, accelerate aggresively, brake hard, and pull lateral G's maybe street racing or road racing. oh yeah, and GPS ur exact co-ordinates to emergency personel

another way icbc and the police are watching you.

underscore 10-27-2009 07:26 PM
the car only contacts them is the sensors detect airbag deployment, and they only access the car when you call them to get the doors unlocked. I don't think they can follow you around watching your every move with it.

GM = Big Brother?

dizzystar 10-28-2009 06:27 PM
well, a sibling to big brother.

the process of scanning your ID to enter a bar is another way big brother is watching you as well. Considering the fact that police and icbc can get access to their database through courts to find out when you get in an accident sober as a judge, if you were drinking the night before, also your clubbing habits if you are a 'deadbeat dad' or the reverse.
