Oh, and keep in mind the 2009 CTS-V broke the record time around the Nurburgring, and it was driven by an engineer, not a professional driver. It was, at the time, the fastest production sedan in the world.
I've owned a 2011 CTS-V for over three years now. It has over 120K miles on it. It runs awesome and uses no oil. Great cars for sure. Went out for some spirited driving this morning. So fun. I am looking forward to the possible purchase of a C8 Corvette Z06, but I intend to keep the Cadillac. Thanks for the Vlog!
There’s a 2011 with 75k miles black on black cats-v sedan good condition just the miles for $39k I’m planning on putting 8k down would you think mileage would be an issue if the car is taken car of?
You are surprisingly knowledgeable about this car. I’ve had one for over 3 years and have done a ton of research to upgrade to 750 whp. It is alcantara btw. Good job on video
Great video. I bought a 2010 CTS-V new, and sadly lost it to flooding from Hurricane Sandy. Loved that car until Sandy totaled it with Salt water up to the headrests. It was a 6 speed manual in Thunder Grey. Glad to hear these cars have held up well. I’m fortunate to have just bought its successor, a CT5-V Blackwing manual. Love it, but I’m always comparing it to my old V2. The V2’s hydraulic steeering is still better, second only to Porsche’s, which says a lot.
If you are looking to get one this guy actually does a pretty good video and knows a lot of the common issues. I’m an OBM V2 owner. The only other common minor issue I would add is that the door handle microswitches commonly die.
If you like this go look at the 2012 CTS-V like I own man the V shape in the back and I believe it was the last year of the Coupe you don't buy a Cadillac CTS-V bc you want the extra doors you know you wanna own one bc they're basically a sports car and my back seats are bucket seats and your not crammed in there and the 2012 Cts-V Coupe you get that V shape in the back which really makes it stand out 10× more
Hey man, I just bought a 2009 CTS-V and did a ton of extensive research and everything you said is on point! Definitely switch the stock isolator for solid isolator and be wary of heat soak. It's recommended to reinforce the stock brick as well to prevent if from collapsing.
For your 40 rolls the slapping thing is kinda of a hit and miss it doesn’t always hold gear when I race mine I don’t slap it back over to drive until after already floored don’t wait for it to red line just as soon as you floor it slap it over you will be good just my opinion and how i run my V
New to the V world. Coming from G8 world. Besides typical mods (cam, headers, etc), what should I be doing? Reinforcing the brick, is that a must? Bigger injectors or a particular brand of spark plugs to handle boost better? Are there any asthetic mods? Radio upgrades? Things of that nature. Got me an 09 , 64kmiles , recaro seats, cammed and other goodies.
Go for the 2012 CTS-V it was the last year of the Coupe plus they got that year right its got the V shape in the rear and being that its a coupe it looks outstanding the back seats are bucket seats but regardless you buy a CTS-V for the power,the thrill,you will hit 200+mph but my year I have gotten so many complements from not only car enthusiasts and the younger crowd but even the little old man and women as well its just the year they did it perfectly
I’ve owned two 3.6 CTS’s and now V Coupe owner. All three cars shift down HARD when you floor it. It will shock you if you’re not prepared. I don’t understand why Cadillacs do this 🤷🏼
Oddly enough I have that issue with my radio, and it usually turns on a little later or after a restart. Now Im going to check that out and see if its loose. I never bothered checking in to it because the restart would always get it to work so Im sure just the vibrations was enough to kick it on again.. Thanks for that!
@@OctaneSlain if you don’t mind me asking how much did you sell it for ? I’m looking for a sedan / coupe in AT but i dont mind a manual, looking to daily it
I bought the car with them already installed. But they are high quality. The front lip has an aluminum skid plate and is super sturdy. The side and rear splitters are thick and heavy duty as well. I can't imagine them breaking unless you crash them into something hard.
Got my V after a while of searching but is it normal for car to shake a bit when on park, because I mean there’s no noise other than a slight tick that comes from the bottom of the car which most likely is an exhaust leak since I can distinguish the sound of an exhaust leak and a major failure like lifter or rod nock
Usually a mechanical tick is always valve train noise and that's on the upper end of the engine. If you hear a tick at the bottom end of the engine, it's more than likely an exhaust leak. A knock at the bottom end is something you definitely don't want to hear. And is it just a random shake in park or constant shaking? Like a misfire?
Thx for sharing much appreciated ! I just bought my first Cadillac 2012 CTS-V 3.6 I’m really enjoying the car , your car paint finish looks great can you tell me how you go about maintaining it? Also I’m looking for some high performance brakes can you recommend and is there other items that you recomended i should attend to , I know you mentioned suspension and control arms? Thank you
I hope it’s not a bad thing and I get bashed for it but I cannot afford a Cadillac CTSV so I’m going to build me one doing a LS swap to my CTS base 2012 model

@@mauricesmith3821 stopping power is awesome. I love that they're also not twitchy... They feel responsive even under extremely hard braking with no sign of fading (from my experiences, anyways) but the dust... It can get get pretty bad at times
Nice video, I’m looking to sell my 392 since it having so much issue! I’m looking at V2 and W204 C63.. I’m not sure what to go with both seems really good choice
I got my V for 28k and for $5k I can make it a 700hp vehicle 🤷🏾♂️ so if you get one for 24-26 it's 31k for a 700hp reliable and track ready vehicle. Stock though it's 556hp. Still impressive af.
@@x23JL13x I spent 3 months looking at autotempest daily. Ctsv classifieds on fb. They are usually around 27-35k depending on miles. I saw one on fb Grey 2009 stock with 76k miles for $27k. Just go on every ctsv fb and auto tempest you'll find one fast
I would rather get something a little newer. Less years on the road. Less mileage. Thats what really counts with cars like these that go fast. You want a car with less time on the road cuz the more previous owners the car has the more chances it has to have gotten a bad owner that would drive the hell out of it and never change the oil and keep up with maintenance.
Exactly, but also; I'm Gonna play devil's advocate for the "Armchair Mechanic" for a moment because I've been doing tons of research on these cars recently, so hear me out and take what I say with a grain of salt. I've been looking at the CTSV and the Lexus ISF as potential cars for me to buy. I've been watching video after video, reading comment after comment, and from what I keep seeing and reading, reliability has NEVER been an issue for the ISF, whereas the CTSV, which has the option for a manual (ISF has 8 speed auto with no option for a manual), has more hp (556 compared to 416 in the ISF), and a higher top speed (200mph vs 167mph), the CTSV gets worse MPG (15-18mpg in the Cadillac; 24-27mpg in the Lexus🤯), the Cadillac has (what seems to be) questionable reliability, and it has a curb weight over 500lbs more than the ISF (just over 3,700lbs vs just over 4,200lbs), making it slower than the ISF at normal street/highway speeds due to the car needing to work harder to build momentum with all that extra weight. The supercharger definitely helps the Cadillac, but if it was NA, or the ISF supercharged, there would be no contest because the ISF would win a drag race every single time. While I hope to one day own one of these Gen 2 CTS Vs, the somewhat questionable reliability, and the fact that OP said GM was still doing recalls on these in 2021, is reallllly pushing me towards the ISF. What also doesn't help in _wanting_ the CTS-V over the ISF, is seeing all the videos of these two cars, stock vs stock, running against each other in a quarter mile, and the Lexus almost always takes the win because of how much quicker it is off the line. Sure the CTS-V will eventually pass it if you're going for a half mile or standing mile, but in a quarter mile or on the street? Much different story, and with tons of video evidence too! Lexus ISF doesn't have the option for the manual, it makes less power, and has a lower top speed, but that's a very short list of things that the ISF *doesn't* have over the CTSV, and yet, in spite of EVERYTHING I just said, there's just something about the shape and sound of the CTSV that draws me to it, like a moth to a light source.
