Great to see this on the channel. We should have an update on the car. Looking st it so far he didn't blow his motor but one of his turbos went out. He is tearing down the engine just for good measure and should be back up soon. Btw this car did 362 km/h top speed gps verified.
@Rob Smith Ignorant people who see something American and Instantly think It's bad quality. Some caveman mentality I guess. Love how they also expect the same reliability from a car that was modded so much It's making more than twice the power that It came with from the factory. 😂
@Rob Smith Spot on m8. Even tho I Love 911s and Maseratis, gotta say the First car I Would like to buy is a CTS-V or a CT5-V. I loved did when the Trio did the USA Challenge with the ZR1 And the Challenger. Ppl love these European cars so much these days. And like we know Many GTRs and BMWs once tuned blow their engine up. That ain't happening with a 2600 HP Viper lol. Exceptions maybe the 5.2 Lambo V10 Is Bulletproof.
Despite the poor guy damaging his engine, this is probably one the BEST autotopnl videos i ever watched. And i been a subscriber for years. I LOVE this type of content. Not the blown engine part, but the interaction with other people and their builds and the drama and all that lol. Great video!
That's insanity! The only thing I've seen before that was so wild going 360+ was that unreal RS7, but this Caddy is freakin manual!! Can we just all appreciate the guy who built this beast! And also give props to tire manufacturer, you literally on the edge of your life while reaching such numbers...
@John Doe No. The respect lies in the fact that he built this thing himself and is reaching these numbers. Whether it's blown up or not doesn't matter. What matters is he keeps grinding and putting it back together. If you want to only see reliable then watch Toyota Hilux videos.
@John Doe Bro I guess you're just not understanding that when you're going for 1000 plus horsepower you ain't necessarily thinking about reliability, you're thinking big power. Its just a surprise it hasn't messed up more times than it has . Respectfully I don't think many people give a damn that you don't like that it's not to your standards, it's just your opinion. I don't get why you're so pressed that his car isn't reliable, it's his car. He's gonna do what he wants, and you're gonna do what you want. That's that. Im done replying to you after this.
it needs a taller gear in the rear end, to drop about 700-1k rpm off of 6th at ~200mph. its got enough power to pull taller gearing to near 240mph i'd say.
I know a guy in Memphis that had a CTS-V that was pushing around 800hp and watched him blow it up running a 2.3 Whipple Terminator Cobra at Air Park on a random Sunday afternoon. It was one of the most spectacular engine fails I’ve seen in street racing. He ruined the road for the rest of the day and basically deposited the contents of the engine into the oil pan and shattered the block scattering shrapnel for several hundred feet. He was back on the streets 2 weeks later with more power.
It's nice to have videos with the owner of the car, especially when he worked on the car and knows everything about it. You can feel in his voice the connection he has with the car and that is one feeling only a true car guy can experience. Congrats to him and congrats to you, @AutoTopNL for making this great video.
I'd love another video like this talking with someone about their crazy build. I'd also love a followup with these guys to see what happened and what they did after.

Nah frfr pretty cool I must say
There is no way you should have that much power and stock brakes
how do you know what these brakes can do ? why would he need more than 8 pistons in the front and 6 in the back ?
Those are pretty big brakes

Thats the american way to build cars lol. Lots of power, and forget about everything else

Just the average modified CTS V. It is fun reading the comments from people who deep throat every vehicle that isn't made in the U.S.
