well you can hear it hold to some amount of rpm for a brief second in the video... sounded somewhere just above idle maybe 2K.... just mashing the gas from idle or holding it to say 2500 rpm or less will get you about 11.8ish.. a good pedal to the floor launch at 3300-3500 rpm is 11.5- 11.6 on a 2011

just like when motortrend ran the LFA what did that GTR run a 11.9 or something? c'mon

it could be crappy track prep.

yeah thats true that why its hard to judge these things after the fact... i ran 11.3-11.9 all because of track prep even so bad when the VDC comes on and babysits and bogs the car down ive ran 12.1s

but prep should affect the caddy aswell.. who knows

It's not unbelievable that the Caddy might be faster on a better prepped track as well. Hard to say though.

Yeah. IMO the GT-R had it from the launch. With a little bit of a better launch the GT-R might have taken it. Although the Caddy could have had a better launch too...oh well I guess we'll never know
