Detroit 2008: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V revealed with 550 HP

Not on mine. A friend’s father has been putting an old generation CTS-V through winters for a few years now and will likely be doing the same with one of this gen. :smiley:

I don’t drive mine in the winter becuase it was a Cali car and I decided to keep it out of the snow. Put the miles on something else and not drop two grand on a snow set-up (6 bolt rims are not cheap).
But with the right tires these cars would do fine in the snow.

Any chance of merging the two threads since there is a bunch of info in the other?

I heard on the radio today 13 city 19 HWY

Compared to mine which gets 24 HWY

Maybe the 350 extra lbs and 150 extra HP is drinking the extra petrol

ouch. what happened to 1000rpm 6th gear cruise?

car is sick…

i raced an STS-V on the highway a few months ago, it kept up… impressive.

that interior is fucking awesome

i love how they used microfiber cloth or suede for the ass and lower back on the seats just like my svt focus did. Perfect for cold and hot days so you wont freeze or melt.

Taken from a Caddy forum:

“07 V MSRP was what 54K ?
This model is physically bigger, larger wheels and tires, a supercharged engine with 150 more hp and tq, hand stitched leather, premium stereo with a 40gig HD, bluetooth, magnetic ride control and some think that’s only going to see a 5-6K increase ? Then add in an auto transmission, paddles shifters and recaro seats and that’s got to be close to another 2500.00 over the base, then our wonderful gas guzzler tax, 1500-2000.00. Cadillac is marketing this against cars that are 85-95K, even at 70K they are being very competitive.”

Most on the V forum are hoping for around a 65k sticker some are dreaming of a $59.9k sticker. We shall see.

I like it a lot.

However rather than spend 65k though I’d rather spend 46 on a Corvette and spend the diff. on a camry for when I need four doors.

And get stomped on by CTS-V’s at the drag strip, road course, and highwall rolls.

Wow…Makes me want to ditch my Caddy in a heartbeat. I hope to win the loto by the time these roll out at Keyser lol :roll:

Wow, that is pretty nice looking. I’ll take one.

ugh, interior looks like something straight out of a mercedes. caddy has definitely come a long way…

my god, that car is amazing :tup:

bet its a hefty pricetag though

They are definitely steping up their game. Most impressive.

damn my poorness. these are hot!

:tup: very cool…

but if $65K turns out to be the price, which sounds like it would be about right…i’ll spend a bit more and take a GTR kthnxbye

probably the only time where the GM beats the import in interior in that comparo

i never thought the looks of this thing were spectacular, theyre not bad, not special. the engine bay looks pretty good, but the interior looks very claustrophobic, too much sh*t in there, especially that pop up screen breaking the smooth line of the dash… but as long as its fast as hell :tup:
