Cadillac for many years was known for its comfort and presence on the road. As time went on though, Cadillac needed some new blood, something exciting. And that is what brings us to the Cadillac CTS V. First hitting the scene in 2004, this car had appealed to a different generation outside the typical geriatric stereotype, which was people like us. Powered by a monster LS the CTS V never did anything short of putting a smile on our faces. So you want a Cadillac CTS V? Well here are some things you should know first...

Hi Alex love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️
Yes
Look at a v2 coupe from the rear. Those hips poke out beautifully
dont forget to mention the 1st Gen CTS-V with the 6Lug Pattern.
GM is stupid for killing off the CTS-V and the Chevy SS, they let Mopar win the "Horsepower War" smh 🤦🏾♂️
yes i want a cts-v yes i’m broke
ATS or ATS-V good version and more affordable which is really nice too
Yeah but fuck the v6 haha i want the vet motor
@@troytierney5325 don’t we all 😂😅
I bought a second gen at 29 years old, it was the motivation I needed to start looking for a better job. Got a new job about 3 months after buying the car, never been happier.
Relatable 🥲

The coupe is so beautiful wtf
I have a coupe and it was my dream car when it first came out and still is lol
@@davidiloani3789 how is man? Like the experience driving it? How does it handle out in the hills? How’s maintenance? I’m looking to buy one in august
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.
I just lost my 2011 mustang to a careless driver that cut me off In the rain now I’m looking into a good 4 door because 4 doors more whores😂😂
What about a Chevy SS?
@@Sevan_UP those cars are 30k plus with 40k plus miles in Texas
@@pvrrpghxst7867 so not what your looking for? Or not in your price range for the milage?
@@Sevan_UP the mileage tbh
Cts-v wagon is a gorgeous car. Best body style of cts in my opinion.
ZAIN ALI CTS-V wagon is in my top 5 best looking wagons.
I dunno the coupe is a different type of gorgeous
Of course wagooon variants always look better than their sedan counterparts
WAGOON
The cts v is the best american wagon next to the buick roadmaster
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.
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
Which year and engine would be the most reliable? I want a good daily im also a chevy technican so i got the service information but id like a reliable motor
@@emmanuelguerrero8696 id ask reddit bro. You're better off than some self claimed "GM tech"
@@emmanuelguerrero8696 depends on your wallet and experience. the LSA engine in the Gen 2 is an absolute beast of a motor. easy to make 600+ hp with moderate bolt ons and hptuners. but the Gen 1 is still a solid car with an ls6 and the t56 so its pretty bulletproof until you start adding boost. at that point u will definitely wanna build the engine. Gen 1 you can pick up for less than 10 grand nowdays. a Gen 2 can get pricey starting at like 20k. but they are both solid platforms
@@CeeZee001 lol im not certified if thats what you're implying. Im 23 and currently working towards my ASEs and Hybrid Certs. But I do work as a technician at a dealership and 3 techs here have Vs and Ive learned a ton from them working on the line. that being said Reddit is a very useful form of information tons of people have their specs and tuning maps for these cars, you should research them both and see what you prefer building..
@@maximus1720 yeah i think ill be saving my money i really want a gen 3 but a V from 2012-2017 look beautiful. Whats your opinion on the more affordable used ATS Vs?

My dad owns 2 ctsv both 2nd and 3rd generation
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.
Thank you Alex and FI for listening after 46 days. Hell yeah brother!!!!!!!!
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
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’m a simple man, i see ctsv, i click
Man of culture.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS JUST SNAGGED A CTS COUPE
Not a ctsv but close enough

"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!"
Ahhh the power of the V!!!
"So you want a wheel and tire business?!"
I've been drooling over them since day one.
God dammit now the prices of the ctsv just went up more now because of this
Shit the 2006 year is still like 20k. 14 year old car for that price? Jesus. Can buy some new cars for that price
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.
damn you hella slept on it
This comment is making me shake my head in disappointment.
you blew it! I bought a wagon 6 years ago. Great decision
@@cramdangle I know! I'm pissed. Thought about and looked again in a few days and it was gone. It was even the nice black color with yellow caliper's. I delayed as I couldn't decide if I would then sell my FJ or Datsun.
sideline55 another will pop up eventually. Black diamond is the best color. I actually got mine at CarMax of all places
A 4 Door Manual with a V8 who doesn’t want that?
Boom there it is. No one said it yet
-4 doors
-v8
-standard trans
-(luxury) for some people
Most companies have just 2 of the 3 things we want
@@Earache. I want is 3 things
Cheap
4 door
V8
The CTS V are now dead with the V3 being priced well out of range, The SS is dead. The 300 is dead (5.7 is trash) and the only thing we are left with is overpriced hard to maintain germans or the Charger :(
Forget the luxury, and manual trans, just bring back affordable V8 4 doors.
@@roshawn1111 I agree with you 100% not to mention none of the cars are really worth it for the price people are asking.
I felt personally attack. That was me asking about the Toyota Matrix. The misunderstood Hot Hatch. 😂
one of my dream cars.....i love this thing in red and in black
Always wanted a V, and finally scooped one up last summer. All I can say is, I absolutely love it. 😁
Still recommend it? Have you had any issues? I'm on the verge of getting one
@@lj2859 same, I do too want to know if it’s a reliable car and not a money eater car 😅
Bro, is your car reliable?
@lj2859 I haven't had any issues, no. Although I don't daily it. I do drive it pretty hard when I do take it out. It's handled me pretty well.
@@_AlcyoneSVX_I want a 2018 CTS-V how is it holding up?
want one but can’t afford, need more stonks
Have a ATS 2.0T which is just as fun and more affordable if you don’t have a big budget. Really fun car and pretty good community behind it. Or even get the ATS-V also a good car. Ultimately wanting a CTS-V but little more pricey 😅
@@sebastianalvarado2390 what year is your ats? i have the 2015 one and its very worth it!
@@fvntvsmvx1146 18
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 👌👌👌
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.

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.
damn... most of the used 2nd gens are all $30-40k still.
In the market for one myself
Actually not a bad price for what you’re getting out of it
@@MsFshuffling looking at one with 90k miles, is that something to worry about?
@@sayde435 honestly most v2s high miles are like gtrs they’re beat to shit. I wouldn’t go anything over 50k miles in my opinion
I absolutely love when you guys do anything cadillac. Working on them daily has its perk (cadillac tech.)
Yes I want a ctsv and yes i have one and yes its great car
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
I have the 2010 cts 3.0 v6, it’s beautiful. I topped out at 145. Highly recommended it bois
Naw 145 you're dumb for that🤣 that'll deform the aluminum in the engine bay. I did hit um 120 in TJ......😅 we both dumb....but where are you in the ls swap stage??? I'm stuck, n need GOD to take control 💪💯💯💯
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!
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for using my clips 💯💯💯
Just sold mine and I miss her everyday! Best car I have ever owned.
I just copped a 2019 V with only 15K km on the dash 🔥
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!
Yes I've been waiting for this for sooooo long
Been waiting a year for this so glad you made it
Really awesome quality and info everytime! And you’re getting better at styling your hair😁
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.
Bro really said their original target market was dying😂💀😂💀 Alex has no chill
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
Maybe the others are not scream all the time in their videos.
Love the video
This guy was made for the camera
Love the energy
Loved the footage 🙏❤️
i just picked a 2020 scatpack charger & could not be happier! muscle sedans unmatched!
That wagon is gorgeous!
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.
How much you paid if you don’t mind me asking

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
Get a smaller pulley and a tune then I doubt you would lose!
Currently buying an 05 V, I've wanted one of these forever
Love my sedan. Just had lower pulley headers tune and few other goodies done. One of my favorite platforms of cars
Hahaha I love this guys energy lol 😂

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.
Yo your editor is slaying the game tbh 👏🏾✨👏🏾
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.
By the way, my mileage is around 8mpg.
🤦♂️
i love this guy
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
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Even the regular 2016 CTS basemodel is tons of fun. My dad owns one and it still hauls ass and whips around quick
The last bit really got me lol as I am seriously looking into one of these and I am infact.... 21 years old haha
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!
There is a company that makes a bolt on supercharger for the second gen cts.
so spark plugs an intake and a tune gives you 350 whp? 😂 yeahhhhh..
“The blood of Doctor Manhattan.” That’s awesome! I missed the next 30 seconds.
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
CTS-V is the best looking Cadillac imo... Sadly to see Cadillac end its production back in 2019...
They are coming out with BLACKWING edition.
There’s going to be a CT5-V black wing with a manual option!! I don’t know why no one knows this
I love this Kat. Funny
Day 1 of asking for " So you want a 2nd gen is250/350"
I love my 14 coupe. Just a few bolt on mods and 540HP at the wheels. Won't outrun a Hellcat but definitely outsteer one. Not to mention doing it in comfort.
I love the ownership stuff.
That starting bathroom statement really true right now lmao
These videos are awesome
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
That segway into the give away was smooooth
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 😅
The bathroom comment had me dead 😂😂
100% accurate on you can't see shit out of these cars but then again, the cops can't see inside either. lmao!
The insurance part at the end is funny to me since I bought a V wagon at 21 years old myself
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
Bro.. and here i am with a 2003 Cadillac cts..
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.
You are awesome!!!!!! I love my CTS V!!!!!!!!!!
The real ride!!
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!!
If I ever sell my current car I'm getting either a Second Gen CTSV or a C6 Z06... manuals of course.
As an owner of both, they are extremely different cars. Unless you REALLY need backseats, get the Z.
