Playing with the CTS V this weekend...

Well not the LS7 or the ZR1 with the LS9...but the rest will be very surprised.
 
Not much sound at all (to be corrected in the near future).

It just runs...not much exhaust...not much engine noise. It does shake the house when it is started in the garage...low level thumping and a very low rumble.

I want it to sound bad...but it will take headers and probably a custom exhaust system.

Most people have no idea what kind of performance those cars make, it'll suprise some people for sure. :rock:
 
As fast as/faster than the new Z06's, better interior, and better ammenities. Put some Nitto NT-05's or 01's on it and outrun most others on a road course.
 
Incredibly fun car to drive. Handles much better than I will ever be willing to push it. I do want to try some autocross in it!

I bet you would get the sound you are looking for, for about 50 bucks.

Delete the muffler. Since you still have the cats and resonators your wot and idle will be awesome but it would be easy on the ears while cruising. I did this on the 8 and it sounds great, thats with a magnaflow exhaust too! The Magnaflow was too quite for Ali, so I deleted the muffler and it's perfect.

Also if you don't like it, it's 50 bucks to put it back on.

I bet you'd like it!

Hell I'll give you 25$ if you don't.
 
If I pick up a coupe next year (if that butt on it is smaller than what it appears to be in camo'd pics) first orders of business will be cai, LT's with high flow cats, and a tune.

Roy, think there's room in the rear wheelwells for 19x12" rims and 335's on the rear? Nitto NT05's go from 285 straight to 335 with nothing inbetween.
 
The author of the Jag vs CTS-V article in aug road and track blasted the Recaro's for being "concave" and the headrest being to canted fwd.
 
12 inch rears!!!!!! What a dream that would be! Would never have to race anyone...they would just slink away after seeing 12" of meat on the rear!

I also did not like the Recaro's...I do like the oem leather seats. Glad I refused to get them...$3000 better off too!
 
Have you found any good CTS-V forums. I belong to cadillacforum.com but it's dead. I see you signed up for 6speedonline. :rock:
 
The best CTS V forum is right here...you and me, we don't need anyone else!
 
Truth!!! You and I are like my girlfriend and I. We get along extreamly well.....just stay away from political discussions. LOL

I would appreciate keeping this thread or something alive with you. I'd like to help research things and learn more about the car. I'm very highly anticipating the arrival of the coupe. Gotta admit, the truck will probably be going up for sale as soon as the coupe comes out.
 
I check leftlanenews.com daily for updates. You see the designer of the PT Cruiser is taking over Cadillac?

Find a way to keep both!

Maybe the girl friend will help!

I am also so curious about the coup...it could end up ending my relationship with the four-door!
 
I'd like to but I can justify so many toy's. I'm fighting the urge very hard to get a Ducati 848. Found a brand new one up by Dom. And a V coupe and a Vipertruck. We'll see. I don't drink much anymore and I don't whore around so gotta have something I guess.

I'd never as the GF. I pride myself on my self reliance. :)
