 Listed for sale is a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V, this car has 81,237 miles on it, 14,000 of which I put on myself.  I bought this car in March 2010, which means I have put less than 4,000 miles on this car a year for the last 4 years.  This car is in great shape for being a 9 year old car, I won’t promise its perfect, but it is in great shape for its age.  The one thing I will mention is the plastic piece around where you put the key in the ignition is damaged, but it does not cause any issues with starting the car or anything like that.  When I had issues with the stock heads, I had the entire bottom end rebuilt as well, everything cleaned, honed, and new bearings put in as well.  This was all done about 2000 miles ago.  The car was tuned by Sho Me Speed in Ozark Mo, and put down 408.20 WHP, and 372.69 ft lb of torque on a DynoJet dyno.  There has been over $10,000 put into this car, parts alone.  Anyone that has looked into CTS-V’s in the past know they have a horribly weak rear end, and when the differential blows it costs $1600, just for the replacement differential.  That is the reason I got the new 8.8 rear put into the car, this rear can take a lot higher power levels then the stock rear, and since it’s an 8.8 there are a lot of options for replacement differentials if anything were to ever go wrong, which I doubt will happen. The rear end costs over $5,000 installed, and seem to have corrected the wheel hop issue this car is known for with the stock rear end.  I have only launched it a few times since the rear was installed but it did not wheel hop at all when launched with the new rear.  I have never taken this car to the strip to see what it could do in 1/4 mile. 

Listed below are the parts I have added to the car over the last several years:

·         Creative Steel 8.8 inch rear end (includes new 2 piece driveshaft, differential, and anti-hop axles as well)

·         Texas Speed & Performance Camshaft: 233/239, .595/.603, 112 LSA

·         Patriot Stage 2 Heads, with all the appropriate hardware in them.

·         Kooks Longtubes and full exhaust all the way back.

·         High Volume Oil Pump

·         LS7 Clutch and Slave Cylinder

·         Extreme Composites Powerdome Hood with Vents

·         Upgraded Timing Chain

·         Creative Steel Motor Mounts

·         K&N Cold Air Intake

·         UUC Short Shifter

·         Linea Corse Veneto Hyper Black Wheels, Front 19x8.5, Rear 19x10 (6x115/+40F+47R)

·         Nitto NT05 Tires, Front 245/40ZR19 XL, Rear 275/35ZR19 XL (rear has less than 2000 miles on them)

·         Stock CTS arm rest (it’s higher than the stock CTS-V arm rest, and more comfortable.  I have the stock CTS-V armrest as well that I will give to the buyer in case you prefer that one.)

·         Custom Mounted 10 inch Pioneer sub and amp.

·         Kenwood head unit with Navigation, as I hated the stock stereo system, sounded absolutely horrible.

·         Optima Red Top Battery

·         Autopage alarm/remote start (remote start will be disabled, but I will show the new owner how to correct it if they choose.)

One other thing I will mention is this car sounds really good.  Everywhere I go I have people giving me thumbs up, or in the drive thru I get a "I've never heard a Cadillac sound like that before, it sounds really good"  I even had a guy at a stop light behind me with his phone out the window trying to record the sound one day. 


If you need anything or have any other questions feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer your questions.  This car has been driven by a NON-SMOKER, I've never let anyone smoke in or near this car.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.

New presidential limo spotted in use for the first time

Mon, Sep 24 2018

It has been a long lead-up to the new presidential limousine, but now it appears General Motors has "The Beast" in working order for President Donald Trump. The new limo was spotted in public for the first time this weekend in New York City in Trump's motorcade, reportedly on its way to Trump Tower. Said to have been in development since 2013, the $15.8 million armored Cadillac is making its debut as Trump's ride to the U.N. General Assembly this week. The grille suggests looks along the lines of a Cadillac CT6 V-Sport, but the similarities don't go much beyond that. If you look closely, Trump appears to be in the second "Beast" of the twin truck-based Cadillacs that go by in the video. The limo has a diesel engine to propel its near-20,000-pound self down the road, but we couldn't detect much of an oil-burner sound over those gigantic truck tires. This week in NYC will showcase motorcades and fancy presidential limos from around the world, all coming in for the big annual meeting at the U.N. Trump's presidential limos get shipped around the world too because they have their own plane: a C-17 Globemaster cargo carrier. There's no shortage of cool features on the new limo, and we detailed those here. While some of the awesome defense mechanisms are public knowledge, we're sure there are plenty that remain classified. New model presidential limo noticed awaiting Pres Trump at Wall Street heliport.

2019 Cadillac CT6-V preorders start at $89,785

Mon, Jan 14 2019

Cadillac's top-of-range sedan will start at less than $90,000, just barely. At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Cadillac announced it is opening preorders for the 2019 CT6-V, which will start at $89,785. Keeping things exclusive, Cadillac has 275 preorder slots available to the U.S. market for the CT6-V. It will briefly join the ATS-V and the CTS-V to give Caddy a trio of powerful sedans before the ATS-V and CTS-V bow out after the 2019 model year to make way for new models. Cadillac offers less powerful V-Sport variants, as well. The CT6-V, formerly the CT6 V-Sport, uses a Cadillac-exclusive powertrain. The twin-turbo 4.2-liter V8 makes a claimed 550 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This engine is hand-built and nicknamed the "Blackwing." It is linked to a 10-speed automatic transmission, which puts power to the ground through Cadillac's all-wheel-drive system. As an added luxury perk to buying the CT6-V, Cadillac will include 2 days at the V-Performance Academy at Spring Mountain. The trip is essentially all expenses paid, with tuition and luxury accommodation part of the package. Cadillac estimates the first CT6-V models to arrive in mid-2019. Now, it was widely reported that the Detroit-Hamtramck production facility that builds the CT6 would be among those closed by GM. Cadillac President Steve Carlisle told Automotive News, however, that the company is exploring production alternatives to keep the flagship luxury sedan for sale in the United States. Apparently, it was never actually on the chopping block, and instead, officials at the time of the plant closure announcement failed to mention that CT6 production would be moved rather than cancelled. Where that new facility would be has yet to be announced, but Carlisle told Automotive News that moving production to China, where the CT6 Plug-In Hybrid is built, is "the least-preferred option."
