Q: how much horsepower is a lancer evolution and can it beat a caddilac cts v in a race?
how much horsepower is a lancer evolution and can it beat a caddilac cts v in a race?
best answer gets best answer

A: Yes an Evo could beat a CTS-V in a track race or rally race, but who gonna rally a CTS-V? Straightline CTS-V wins buy a slight margian. The Evo X pumps out 291 hp and has 0-60 of 4.6 sec, while Caddy has a 4.5 sec 0-60. Trackwise Evo wins because it has a TC-SST (Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission) gear box, Active Yaw Control which is part of S-AWC ( Super all wheel control system) which also includes ASC, ABS. So it can take corners faster and still keep planted. There is no understeer which you would get in the CTS-V. Evo could win on street if you have the manual because u can redline it to your liking, or mod the engine with intake, cat back system when they come out. Evo better car

Q: How much do you think a 2009 cadillac cts – v will be in 2011?
How much do you think a used 2009 cts – v with about 40,000 miles on it will cost in 2011

A: The CTS is Cadillac’s best selling car and tends to retain it’s value… not to mention that you’re talking about the V series, which is pretty rare. It’s gonna hold it’s value and even in 2011, you’re talking about a $40,000 car.

Q: What is the minimum octane rating I should put in my ‘04 Cadillac CTS-V?
I just got a CTS-V, I know it takes premium, but how premium, does anyone have octane estimates?

does it HAVE to have premium? its so expensive

A: 91 premium octane….The engine has to burn that octane due to the fact that lower octane you will lose power and the engine can’t burn it efficently….It’s designed to run on minimum 91. if you use 89 it will not power up as fast and shake. 87 even worse power lose and worse shaking. 91 is more easy to burn it’s got a lower flash point than other octanes.

Q: What is the song in the new ad for the Cadillac CTS-V?
I like the song in the new spot for the Cadillac CTS-V. Does anyone out there know the name of it and who sings it?

Thanks

A: “Lovesick” by Lindstrom feat. Christabelle

Q: how much is the cadillac cts-V and is the audi s5 better?
what is a better car the audi s5 or the caddilac cts-v? Which would you prefer? How much does eacch one cost. And i mean fully loaded cars.

A: The basic CTS runs about $41K. Consumer Reports lists nearly every Audi as a car to avoid.

Look at Infiniti or Lexus models if you want something in the $35K to $65K range that will turn heads and last a long time.

Q: Is the 2009 CTS-V going to be available with an All Wheel Drive Option?
I’ve read a few things about the up and coming CTS-V. The LS7 engine is going to step up the performance without question.

The new 08′ model CTS already has an All Wheel Drive option.

Any word as of yet if the 09′ CTS-V will have the option?

Please provide references or links along with any information that you post if possible.

Thanks,
Austin

A: Haven’t seen anything newsworthy on that yet.

Q: Where can I get a Cadillac CTS-v NAV for my cts 2004?
I want a brand new one and is it possible to fit the nav on the cts noting that the nav is for the CTS V ?

A: You get the original only at the dealer.

It would be cheaper to get a small aftermarket unit. They sell them everywhere (Radio Shack, Sears, Circuit city, etc.)

Good Luck…

Q: why is the 2009 cadillac cts v so cheap?
the 09 cts v is faster and supposed to be better than the 08 sts v, so why does the stsv cost 30,000 more than the worlds fastest sedan?

A: It likely has something to do with the quality of the vehicle.

General Motors’ 2009 rear-wheel-drive Cadillac CTS had a Composite Reliability Value of -.50 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00.

And GM’s Cadillac line has a 2009 Composite Reliability Average of -.54, on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00. This is GM’s worst line average and is the second-worst for all lines.

Q: What year did Cadillac start making the CTS-V?

A: 2004

Q: can i get a cadillac cts-v with automatic transmission?
i can get this car with automatic transmission without having to change anything myself? Also, which is a better car, a cts-v,lexus is-f, or a jaguar xkr?

A: Yes, automatic transmission is available as a no-cost option on 2009 models. I didn’t check availability for prior years. CTS-V is noted for being the fastest production sedan; I think it edges out the Lexus and Jaguar in performance, and spaciousness.

Q: Would you rather have a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 or a 2006 Cadillac CTS-V?
A Chrysler Dealer on my way to work has both cars on the lot with similar mileage for similar prices. Which one would you rather have?

A: the 300 looks better but if the cts is a stick go with that twice as much fun with that much power

Q: Why is the Cadillac CTS-V based on the old CTS body?
Why not the new better looking one?

A: They spent years making the CTS-V.
They started working on it before they made the new design.

Q: Nowadays with the Cadillac CTS-V being soo good, why would anybody buy a BMW M5?
cheaper, roomier, handles better, better 0-60 time, and faar less complicated. better gas mileage too.
i’d like a european opinion too because i know theyre all snobs and usually wont buy anything but a euro car even though they might not be as good. so, euros, why?

A: ~CTS-V vs M5

~I totally agree with you on the what the other answer-ers have commented on the CTS-V. To ensure the outmost performance from the redesigned V8 engine. Cadillac tuned the suspension and engine on the tracks of the Nurburgring. With a whole new look, and strategically priced, it really is a new kid on the block. First of all, in terms of the gas mileage, any sport- oriented track car will not get good mileage, in a way, gas mpg shouldn’t be a factor to be looked at when we talk about a V8, V10, V12, and let alone, a W16 engine configuration. Secondly, in terms of a roomier cabin…I find the CTS’s cabin ok, but mind you, the Americans have always been all over comfort and great space, so it is expected for a plush, yet sporty interior. Thirdly, not contradicting what you have said, but the performance is a bit wild and crazy actually. On the tracks, the CTS-V rounds the corners like never seen before from American sport cars, and has immense acceleration, but the power just seemed to jump out at you at the wrong times.

~Also, to answer your question about Europeans, choosing euro cars over American bad-boys…The Europeans <

> looks for a blend of performance and comfort. And of course, they would prefer a more refined engine over the so called “ American V8”. Here’s a good example, on Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson < the host> compares a M5 and a Chrysler 300 SRT8. Aside from all his poor remarks for the SRT8’s looks and the way it drives, he is impressed by the remarkable V8. When put on a drag race against the M5, the M5 owns it. And he concludes by saying that although Chrysler did have a good attempt at the M5 territory, it is still not good enough. So here’s what you can learn from it. Most Europeans looks at the CTS, or American V8s as a good source of cheap sports cars with a fair amount of performance. But the serious car fanatics looks towards the premium branded cars, the BMW, the Audi, and such. And mind you, the M5, the M3 earned their respect for a reason.

~So yes ! the CTS is a good alternative for those of us who do not wish to shed more than we wanted on premium brands. Afterall, the CTS is will satisfy even the thirstiest gas guzzlers. ^^

Q: what would putting a 2009 cts-v cam on my 2000 firebird formula ?
i am just wondering if i should do it .

A: you can’t do it. The cam sensor is at the rear of your LS1 and the cam sensor is at the front of the LS3 in the CTSv. Besides that is a lot of work to change out a stock cam to install another stock cam. Here are some performance regrinds that alot of people are having success with, and they have a goo price.

Q: can you put a cts-v motor in a normal cts?
Can you stick a 2008 cts-v motor rwd in an 2008 all wheel drive cts?

A: I don’t know if it will connect to the auto tranny in the AWD model or not, but if so, I doubt if it will be reliable. That transmission is not designed to handle the power and torque of the V8, if it was Cadillac would likely have offered the that CTS-V with an automatic, but they didn’t.
