yes i want a cts-v yes i’m broke

"The coupe looks like a drunk person cut a block of cheese" -Fitment Industries last year

Cts-v wagon is a gorgeous car. Best body style of cts in my opinion.

I work at a GM Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealership. As a technician, the cts-v is the car that I see the least coming into the shop. and thats really saying something for GM lol

I picked up a 09 V sedan last February. Definitely the best for me considering I was looking at ZO6s and gt500s and now I have a kid on the way. CTSVs are the ultimate daily in my opinion and I’ve driven it in 10° snowy weather all the way up to 110° heat waves.

A few things you missed. First gen V's have the same aluminum getrag diff case as the v6 cts. They are weak and known to shatter even under stock power. Aftermarket solutions are out there but they are not cheap. Cheapest solution is to swap in the rear cradle from a 2nd gen V which will cost $2k plus and has several drawbacks. There are aftermarket kits for using the ford 8.8 and 9 inch rear but they will cost you $5k+. There are several mods available to strengthen the stock diff but it's a gamble. There are 4 different iterations of diff for the first gen V. 2004 and 2005 use the first and second which are the weakest and most prone to shatter. 2006 and 2007 use the 3rd gen which is a little stronger, and the 4th gen diff was released in 2008 and not installed from the factory. The stock diff is fine if you're not doing burnouts or hard launches but when buying a vehicle with multiple owners that's a risk you have to decide on. All factory driveline bushings are soft and will need to be replaced to eliminate clunking/driveline vagueness. Creative Steel has everything you need plus the 8.8 diff swap. Replace diff bushing, rear cradle bushings, shifter bushings, isolator bearing, motor and trans mounts and you'll be all set. Get an 06-07 if you can afford it. They are more refined all around than the 04-05's. Grounding issues solved, pcm issue solved, stronger diff, cam gear pin issue solved, and numerous other things. The biggest pro of the newer cars is the LS2 engine. It does have a better torque curve stock, but the biggest pro is that it's a gen 4 6.0. Meaning most parts are interchangeable between gen 4 motors, including the ls3.

Corvette in a suit. My new favorite line ever...!

Chevy ss? Please. Since you’re on the sedan topic

it gives me that President look vibe💫

I have a coupe V manual...all black exterior and interior with black rims and 5% tint all the way round 😂 a real batmobile.

The CTS V Wagon is going to be my next car purchase for sure. Driven several variations of the V and fell in love with the car. The wagon being one of my top dream cars.

Could have bought a CTS-V wagon a couple months ago here in Wisconsin. But I didn't act on it and it was gone in 2-3 days. Still kicking myself.

I saw a blacked out cts v one day on the road and it was one of the best sounding cars ive ever heard and ever since ive wanted one

Called me out with my knees getting pink😅, this toilet is my youtube throne

I own a 2013 CTS-V Sedan. Just got back from a nice vacation in Branson, Missouri. Incredible performance with total reliability. It cornered like a slotcar in the winding Ozark Mountain roads of Arkansas and Missouri. To me, it is like driving a Supercar and getting 19 mpg.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS JUST SNAGGED A CTS COUPE

Thank you Alex and FI for listening after 46 days. Hell yeah brother!!!!!!!!

CTS V is one of the best sedans ever made including the germaannnss. I have the Porsche Panamera turbo s e hybrid sport turismo. Hot wheels. In white. Very cheap to maintain. Btw u did not include me in the first 30 seconds ? 😞 So please please please please please please please please please please make a *Day 68 asking fitment industries to do an episode on so you want a lotus exige s*

Oh man I remember in 2009 when i was looking at this car in a motor sports mag. Looked so good it got on my list of cars to buy/ dream car. Glad to know I wasn't the only one to appreciate the awesomeness of this car.

i’m a simple man, i see ctsv, i click

"Hey there grandson, you turning 18 next week, arent you sweetie" "Yes grams" "Do you want a new car. You know, so you can stop taking that loud hronta or whatever you got." "Oh sure grandma, thanks!"

I absolutely love when you guys do anything cadillac. Working on them daily has its perk (cadillac tech.)

Ahhh the power of the V!!! "So you want a wheel and tire business?!"

I recently bought a stock 2010 CTS-V Radiant Silver sedan with no moonroof, for my 40th birthday. Love this car great power with the LSA engine combo! My car is totally stock and ran a 12:56 @ 112 mph in October. I would say well worth waiting for! I am looking for a V1 for a daily in the future.

I love anything with a V8 and 4 doors, second gen is my favorite ♥ Had to take their awesome brembos and slap them on my G8 👌👌👌

Always wanted a V, and finally scooped one up last summer. All I can say is, I absolutely love it. 😁

one of my dream cars.....i love this thing in red and in black

I've been drooling over them since day one.

I have a 2012 cts v 4 door sedan couldn’t be happier. First V8 I’ve ever owned come from the K series Vq Nissan world. Absolutely love the CTS V

V2 CTS-V is the best bang for buck. As much as I love the wagon, the V2 Sedan with a 6 speed is the route I went and absolutely love it, easily one of my best vehicles I've ever owned. Shy of 900whp and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Perfect blend of performance and practicality, great daily/streetcar, wolf in sheep's clothing, and with a few bolt-ons can hang with the high performance cars of today.

The Cien concept car design language has aged really well for about 20 years now and these cars are the high point of that legacy. The wagon looks really clean. The overall design is futuristic without looking gaudy or too sharp and angry like modern cars are. I'd call this the gentlemen's jacket on wheels. Sleek and easy on the eyes.

Love the video. My CTS-V Sport (which never gets any cred and maybe should've been addressed) was just totaled. The V-Sport is great HP with a bit smaller price tag. I purposefully looked for this car because I was nervous of handling the HP on the V8 V. Since there were only 54 of my exact model made I can't find one. I'm on to the V8 V now and I cannot wait. Nothing sounds as good as the cold start rumble of a V8.

Just sold mine and I miss her everyday! Best car I have ever owned.

damn... most of the used 2nd gens are all $30-40k still.

want one but can’t afford, need more stonks

I have an 2011 CTS V Wagon and agree so much with your video! Mines modified and is a solid 11 second car on the track. It's a perfect fit for me my daily life but I'll kick your ass on a race coming home from the grocery store!

i just picked a 2020 scatpack charger & could not be happier! muscle sedans unmatched!

God dammit now the prices of the ctsv just went up more now because of this

A 4 Door Manual with a V8 who doesn’t want that?

Really awesome quality and info everytime! And you’re getting better at styling your hair😁

Yes I've been waiting for this for sooooo long

Currently buying an 05 V, I've wanted one of these forever

Got an 05 CTS-V w/the LS6 w/90k on the ticker. Body is clean, shifter issues have been fixed. I've also got long tubes and properly done, very mild tune. I wouldn't drive anything else. This car is amazing.

As a prior V1 owner, get a 06-07 with the ls2. The ls1/ls6 platform is not great. It was my favorite car I’ve owned and buckets of fun. Mine sat on 19” ag m410s, coil overs, and some nt555. It looked great and held its own in the corners

I’m honestly surprised you guys don’t have more subs you have better editing then most of these “popular influencers” they are set up so nice definitely deserves a sub keep it up y’all

Ayeee I just bought a 2018 V3 right before my 22nd birthday 🙏🏽 this thing is a beast and I still can’t believe I was able to buy this car on my own no co sign or anything!

A nice and fun car or a slow truck that can barely hit 50 mph A kei trucks wins 🚚💨 So you want a kei truck 👌

Just bought a 2013 CTS-V coupe. And yes the struts and rear shocks were shot at 41,000 miles. Replaced under warranty . Supercharger also replaced under warranty.

That wagon is gorgeous!

Been waiting a year for this so glad you made it

The Car is amazing I have a 2018 and I am still impressed every time I drive it. But only in the warm weather unless you have a set of all season or snow tires. The Michelin pilot Sport Cups will not move the car out of any snow covered drive way. I have a 09 Viper ACR with same tires close to same horse power same drag times zero to 60 3.6 and 1/4 mile what 11.7 I love my V series I have owned many hi po cars this is my favourite. Buy one you will love it. Oh Great review !! I loved it nice job the reviewer was on his game! Dam nice job.

I felt personally attack. That was me asking about the Toyota Matrix. The misunderstood Hot Hatch. 😂

The supercharger rattle is a coupling issue, not a bearing issue. The spring loaded isolater starts to wear out the shafts and starts to rattle. Swap the spring loaded one with a solid one and no more rattle.

Dude your camera presence is f***ing awesome. Great personality! And funny asf

My LSA CTSV sedan 6spd was fun, traded in for the last ISF sedan. Had another child so got a S4. Currently driving a FOB VA STI. S4 was cheapest to mod and was fastest stop light to stop light. CTSV had most compliments but wasn’t cheap to mod and chugged gas. The STI is the most fun so far to daily drive. Guess it all depends on what you want car for

Yes I want a ctsv and yes i have one and yes its great car

I have the 2010 cts 3.0 v6, it’s beautiful. I topped out at 145. Highly recommended it bois

I just copped a 2019 V with only 15K km on the dash 🔥

Even the regular 2016 CTS basemodel is tons of fun. My dad owns one and it still hauls ass and whips around quick

I've had my 2011 CTS 3.6 Performance RWD for four years now. Threw some minor "expensive" upgrades at it. Upgraded coils, plugs, K&N Typhoon cold air intake, lowering springs, and a good but safe tune. Getting 347 at the wheels. Looking for a better converter but I haven't had any luck so far. Anyway, craving more power out of the beautiful gen 2 body style. Looking to get a V coupe towards the end of next summer. Will definitely take a sedan either way. I can't wait, it's been my dream car since the gen 2 came out. 3.6 daily driver, V a garage toy. Shooting for 750hp. I'll be satisfied with that. Been a Cadillac fan since I was little. My grandpa had a black '64, and it was better than anything I had ever seen!

Love my sedan. Just had lower pulley headers tune and few other goodies done. One of my favorite platforms of cars

Had my cts-v 1 for 60k miles had 80k on it now its been stock ls6, small cam,fbo,175shot and e85 ls6, Thomson motors 370 with a ported lsa with afr heads, then a ls6 with a eagle 383 kit with afr heads ,huge custom grind cam with a 250shot now its back to a stock bolt on and btr stage 1 cam ls6 and a little nitrous I love this car ill put a million miles on it if I dont total it

Loved the footage 🙏❤️

Just bought an 09 cts-v for my 40th birthday gift to myself. 90k miles and it looks like it's only a year old. Unmodified only thing I'm doing to it is putting an air raid cold air intake on it so I can hear that beautiful supercharger whine even more.

I have a cts-v second generation and really like it. It's such an oddity of a car and that it is an older Cadillac, most don't think it's fast. Fun to chase down unsuspecting sport cars

Love the video This guy was made for the camera Love the energy

I have a 1,000hp 2011 Hennessey coupe (non-Recaro, A6) and love it! Believe it or not, it drives like a Cadillac. There really aren't that many sacrifices that had to be made, and the ride is very comfortable. Definitely not a sleeper, but an awesome car that can still be (carefully) driven, even in less than ideal conditions.

Just got my CTS-V sedan a couple months ago such an amazing car! Came from a 06 Mustang GT. Major upgrade, puts a big smile on me everything I hop in.

Idk if this was mentioned in the comments already. V1s are 6 lug, and with the massive brakes, Forgestar f14s are the only real available option.

i have the 2nd gen, 2015 with a stick and currently has 24k! Black on black, on black with red Brembo's she came from Texas and absolutely pampered here in Maryland. Very hard to get. not quite first owner but I am the 2nd owner. NO MODS except the exhaust. 3 inch front to back, no muffs. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. Let me say this again, IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!! the pops, the crackles, the back fires are music and always the same but only with the manual transmission. if anything were to change within the engine I will hear it from the exhaust first. No need for headers! just let it flow and experience its native sound you will fall deeply in love so much so you will not be able to hide it. just include your wife so she doesn't feel left out. maybe do her on the hood or behind the open passenger door just make sure and call out her name and not VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..... lol

Love my v2. May never sell it. 800hp daily. No issues at all

I own a 2011 CTS-V. I have a cold air intake and Corsa exhaust. It is a great car. I almost bought a 2016 V3 because I like the new interior and electronics, but I couldn't justify the price vs performance. I'd race a V3. I might loose but it would be in a few tenths of a second. Love my LSA

I have a regular cts pushing 307. The supercharger scared me and I wanted awd. So I plan to just do headers and full exhaust. But I really love the look, feel and sound of a v

Fun fact the first GM vehicle test feature the magneride was the Cadillac STS GM pioneered and patented this system alongside their subsidiary Delphi other auto manufacturers have to pay them to use it

My daughters rented me a drive of a Lambo Hurricane. The car was very fast and a thrill to drive but I own a CTS-V at 660 hp and the Lambo has nothing over the V. The V is the most amazing car I have ever driven. What a monster!!

Yo your editor is slaying the game tbh 👏🏾✨👏🏾

05 V here cammed/straight piped w a few other things. I don’t drive it a lot but it’s fun. The stock dif is fine if you are doing donuts but don’t try and burn rubber in a straight line or launch it like you stole it.

Never been a LS fanboy BUT a cts-v is truly an iconic and unique car. Luxury, performance and practicality you can’t beat, it’s just built different. Only thing better than a v2 is a v3 😅

Mine is Bone Stock, 1 Owner, Dr. Owned. I am getting 15mpg! Not bad, I did the Coils wires and plugs. Great advice!

Watching from the uk, love the vids

my dad had a 3rd gen, the first-ever car I drove. its a really, really good car, I prefer it to our r8 v10+ the only thing I like better is my Porshe 911 and the only thing that makes it better is I'm a rally nerd and love Porsche rally cars :)

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

Nice Video! I LOVE my V. 2nd Gen has been my choice Since its inception. Diamond Blue White Titanium Interior. Rare as hell! I am appreciative every day! Thanks for sharing!

Going to be listing my 2012 CTSV Wagon soon, 6spd manual, built motor making 983whp

I love this Kat. Funny

Well I drove one for the 1st time yesterday, gen 2, and it's got me rethinking my whole life😂

You are awesome!!!!!! I love my CTS V!!!!!!!!!!

I love the ownership stuff.

SO YOU WANT AN INFINITI Q60 RED SPORT

Hahaha I love this guys energy lol 😂

These videos are awesome

i love this guy

Thanks for using my clips 💯💯💯

CTS-V is the best looking Cadillac imo... Sadly to see Cadillac end its production back in 2019...

That segway into the give away was smooooth

After my experience driving the V, it’s worth buying it

I already have one. And I love it

The insurance part at the end is funny to me since I bought a V wagon at 21 years old myself

The last bit really got me lol as I am seriously looking into one of these and I am infact.... 21 years old haha
