This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: It’s not often you see a 400hp V8 sedan with a stick. Indeed, the era of the manual gearbox-equipped sedan with big displacement and big torque is gone, except that it isn’t. You might not be able to buy one at a new car […]
In 2004, Cadillac unleashed the CTS-V sport sedan, packing a manual gearbox and a V8 that roared like a dragon on espresso. While the regular CTS was eyeing sales from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3/5 series, the V-version had bigger fish to fry – BMW’s M division and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division. Now, those German […]
“You don’t need a V8” — said nobody. Imagine for a minute that you have $10-$15k to spend on a cheap rear-drive late model V8 powered family coupe/sedan. It might seem like not a lotta money if you went to Carmax and saw all of the overpriced Camrys, but in your local craigslist you’ll find […]
We’ve never featured a 2nd generation Cadillac CTS-V on DT before (plenty of 1st gen versions) and not for lack of want. The 556 horsepower supercharged 6.2 liter LSA V8 pushes the porky 4-door to a world record for a sedan 7:59 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife (at least until it was beat by the Porsche Panamera Turbo a few months later.) But it matters not, because today we’ve got one in DT price range — nevermind the salvage title, gas station photos, lien title, and lack of interior/engine pics. Find this 2011 Cadillac CTS-V offered for $23,000 in Baton Rouge, LA via craigslist. Tip from Ramjet.
If somebody would have told me in the year 2004 that in 15 years a Cadillac CTS-V would be worth the same or more than a C5 Z06 from the same year, I would have told them they were insane. But here we are 15 years later, and an ’05 CTS-V sells for about the same as or more than an ’04 Z06…maybe those extra doors are worth the extra money? Personally, I’d need one for a few year test drive to find out. Find this 2005 Cadillac CTS-V offered for $14,500 in Pleasant Hill, CA via craigslist.
Cadillac launched their CTS-V sport sedan in 2004 with a manual gearbox and firebreathing V8 that was nothing short of awesome. The standard CTS sedan was focused on stealing sales from cars like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class or BMW 3/5 series..but the V-version was aimed at stealing sales from BWM’s M division and Mercedes-Benz AMG division…and […]
Here is a riddle for you: What is black on the outside, a family car on the inside and a Corvette on the underside? If you said a frog, you are wrong…it is this next car..the legendary first generation CTS-V, which combined Corvette LS6 power and T56 manual transmission in a family friendly package. Find […]
We’ve all seen the original Road Warrior, a timeless piece of cinema that deserves a place in your collection sandwiched between Citizen Kane and The Godfather, but what if the movie was filmed today in the badlands of New Mexico and Max couldn’t get the last of the Interceptor V8s…what would he drive? A 21st […]
General Motors was on a serious bender when it released the V-version of their Cadillac CTS sedan. The CTS-V used an engine borrowed from the hopped up Corvette Z06 with a 6-speed manual gearbox and it was SERIOUSLY fast for the time, and they are 99cent store bargain rack cheap today. Find this 2005 Cadillac […]
The first generation Cadillac CTS-V was released for the 2004 model year as a complete and total departure from Cadillac’s traditional role as a builder of coddling geezer mobiles. The Corvette Z06 powered sedan was nothing short of an M5 beater and is cheap on the used market today. Find this 2006 Cadillac CTS-V here […]
