    This should be conducted stateside. They might displace some of the highend imports.

      Looks like John is having fun in "retirement".

        Love it! I own a Cadillac CTS. It has a great ride, performance, and style. That's the other forum I belong to!

          Hello Steven;

          I don't get the reference to "John".

          Thanks for your posts.

            Hi Ray! John was a GM engineer who was on the ZR1 World Record Holder team, SCCA champion and Corvette guy. He is a Zora kinda guy.

            GM performance guru John Heinricy retires
            by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Nov 5th 2008 at 4:01PM



            Over the past two decades, John Heinricy has probably done more to enhance the performance image of General Motors than any other single individual. From the perspective of a petrol-head, Heinricy has for many years held what is probably the coolest job at GM as the director of the Performance division and top-dog test driver. We found out today that Heinricy is retiring after 38 years as an engineer and test driver for GM. In his off time, Heinricy has raced a wide variety of cars at many different levels and captured 11 SCCA national titles. Much of his best known work has been at the wheel of the last several generations of Corvettes along with the Cadillac CTS, but this year he got the most attention for his exploits in the new CTS-V. Specifically, he became the first driver to record a sub-eight minute lap time at the Nurburgring in a production four-door sedan with the new Cadillac CTS-V. When we attended the first track preview of the CTS-V a few months ago, Heinricy was on hand with the record setting car to talk about the big lap. You can check out video of Heinricy's chat and the record lap after the jump.

              And do it in retirement like John Heinricy.

              BTW: Vday in Shanghai was May 9, 2009. We are a little late to the party.

                Ray, I forgot something (nothing new for me). John is the guy near the end of the video who "drove" the Cadillac around the course and jumped out smiling at the end.
