Default Caddy CTSV track video

Not a Caddy owner, but I am on their email list. I didnt see it posted here yet, so I figured I would post it real quick. New video from D3 on a track car. Looks pretty cool.

I will have that widebody kit on my V someday so I can fit those ridiculously huge meats on all 4 corners. I kinda want the whole package, but I think I'll end up sticking with N/A (heads/cam/intake) on my motor and shoot for 550 HP/500+TQ.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that it's a supercharger that has a 1.9L capacity, as opposed to a TVS 2300 that has a 2.3L capacity...

Can I get the 6 minutes of my life back. I just watched a $150,000 car drive around and short shift the entire time and never once take it to redline or beat on the car. The blip of the throttle the first minute was the worst beating that car got the whole video.

They could have designed something better with all the claims they make and charging 3x the normal price they had a chance to make a proper widebody car and just copied the specter werkes one and they charge a bunch on their site for this "widebody." We need some real companies that will build something unique and functional. Something that will look much better than that without ripping off everyone! \endrant

Just because you are not willing to pay their prices doesn't mean that others aren't. There is a reason they are the PREMIER Cadillac tuner. If you don't want to pay their prices (or the prices of Hennessey or Lingenfelter for that matter) go somewhere else.

You can say the same thing about refrigerators. Just because you would buy the $350 GE refrigerator from Walmart doesn't mean that the $10,000 Northland refrigerator is a rip off...people pay for brand names, quality and the service that comes with them.

People like you annoy me.

People like me? I never said I wouldn't I just said if you are going to put that much down for some fender flares why not go to a shop and get an actual widebody?

If it's going to cost an arm and a leg it should be something that is actually worth it not because of the company name.

+1 that is VERY annoying...

Now granted I dont have a caddy, but if I did I wouldnt expect Walmart pricing for my mod list.

Also out of curiosity I looked at their site for the widebody and they dont even list pricing. I dont know where PesianV is getting that pricing from

D3 is VERY tight lipped about their prices. you pretty much have to drop the car off, and you get the price when they are done.

They gave me a price quote over email and in person right away.............. The only bad thing was that the price quotes were different both times. The second time being more expensive.

Having been to their shop persian...... They are a company you would WANT to have working on your car. Yeah they might be expensive, but what they know compared to the price evens out. I'd rather pay more for someone that knows what they are doing rather than having someone do it for the first time. I dont like my V to be the trial version of a shops work

Being the PREMIER anything doesn't mean much when it's self-proclaimed. One would think the "PREMIER" Cadillac tuner would be involved in actual Cadillac tuning, like the SCCA T2 racing efforts or the World Challenge efforts.

Anyway, I guess they must be selling parts to someone if they've got the $$$ to build a car like that. With all that money spent one would think they could afford some gauge overlays so we could really see what the car is doing. Something like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXj--xLqRQI
