2016 CTS-V

I love the V Series. I’ve owned an STS-V and several Gen2 and Gen3 CTS-V’s. But this is by far the fastest I have owned. Twin Turbo, 1427RWHP, and 8.90 @ 159MPH

This custom Cadillac CTS-V is powered by a 1400hp 427ci twin-turbo-equipped V8 engine. The engine was built in a foundation of a Modern Airflow Dynamics 427ci LT aluminum block fitted with sleeves, steel rings, billet pistons, billet rods, Magnum CCW crankshaft, Manton adjustable roller rockers, and turbo spec cam (MAD specs). The induction includes Crawford Racing Holley Dominator Kit with port fuel injection supported by Fore Fuel System triple fuel pumps, and 1700lpm injectors. The intake is fed by a Performance Supercar twin-turbo kit that includes Gen 2 Garrett ball-bearing turbos. The oiling system has been redesigned from the original to avoid smoking issues. Swirl pot design was added to the coolant expansion side of the system to prevent overflow during operation or while shutting down. The engine compartment was also fitted with DEI Fire wrap all lines near hotlines, custom AC lines that are not included in turbo kit to avoid manifold heat, and dual breather cans in the rear bumper for engine crank case ventilation. The engine is backed by a Century-built custom 8-speed 8L90E automatic transmission with Circle D triple disc billet torque converter, a Menscer Motorsports rear custom coilover kit (Front is stock), 15-inch wheel conversion kit, custom modified BMR rear control arms, tie rods and trailing arms, DSS axles, DSS aluminum driveshaft, modified Stainless Works 3-inch cat back to work with twin-turbo kit, dual Setrab front oil coolers, one for engine oil and one for transmission oil, LPE 2-step box is connected to the interior switch for two-step operation for launching. The trans-brake box is located on the passenger side of the console, for use for bump and trans-brake.
