I'm the third owner of this One of a kind CTS-V. The first owner had all the work done and used it mainly for car shows. I purchased it from the second owner early this Spring. I drove it more than 600 miles home and the drive was great! It was built to perform like a drag car, yet ride like a Cadillac. Around $12000 have gone into the underneath of the car alone. The subframe bracing is all tig welded and bolted in to be removed if you so desire, but it really keeps the car going in a straight line. These custom braces were chosen to keep the independent rear end (and smooth ride) as opposed to a solid rear and they work great! The reason for the engine build was because the original owner blew the original engine. The engine was built for a lot more power than it is now putting out and it has never been raced. It's currently dyno tuned on 5.5lbs of boost and it put down 460whp and 475wtq. Which is about what a stock second gen CTS-V is putting down. And is plenty for me. A change in pulley can get a lot more out of this engine. The clutch is Textralia and has about 2000 miles on it. Here is a breakdown of the modifications:

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
2014 Cadillac CTS configurator open for business
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Cadillac has just set the new configurator for the redesigned, 2014 CTS live. While we've already tested out the new CTS, this is our first chance to play with all the interior and exterior color options and to get a fair idea of the price. The new CTS covers a broad swath from the $46,025 base model, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, to the $59,995 VSport, complete with its brawny, 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6.
It doesn't take much to send the CTS's price up from there, though. Opt for the VSport Premium trim, and the price immediately jumps $10,000. Opting for one of the premium paint colors is all that's needed to nudge the CTS past $70,000. For reference, a 556-horsepower CTS-V (previous-generation, naturally) starts at $64,515.
Click over and have a look at the configurator for yourself.
