Street Racing & Kill Stories - Cadillac CTS V

Went to the drag strip the other day, had a blast. Saw 2 Cadillac CTS's there. The fastest one ran 12.40 @ 112. Has any one here ran any of them? I like the car, a good looking fast luxuary 4 door. Is it the ls6 or ls7 they put in these? I just haven't seen much talk about them on here.

the 04s had LS6s and the later ones had LS2s

I think hes talking about a the new ones that have the LS9 in them.

The 09 CTS-V has the LSA, which is NOT the same as an LS9...:eyes:.

-The LSA has a 1.9L Eaton blower vs the LS9's 2.3L Eaton
-THe LSA produces 9 psi vs the LS9's 10.5 psi
-The titanium connecting rods and intake valves of the LS9 were replaced by forged powdered metal and SilChromel, respectively.
-The exhaust valves on the LSA are not sodium filled either. The exhaust manifolds are cast iron rather than stainless steel as on the LS9 and the main bearing caps are nodular iron rather than steel.
-The pistons in the LSA are hyper-eutectic cast aluminum rather than being forged.

Here's my source of info:http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-2009-lsa-6-2l-superchar/




.

If it's a 04-05, it has a ls6 at about 400hp. The newer ones are @ 556hp.

i think they may have changed the motor mid year in 05 i could have sworn iv seen a couple 05s with LS2s

Well, my 05 had a ls6... awesome motor.... sh!t rearend!

Re: CTS-V2

I would think they would dyno a little higher - http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-cts-v-2004-2009/1031595-2009-cts-v-dyno-sheets.html

Seems that 450 is about the norm.

04-05 CTS-V 400hp LS6
06-07 CTS-V 400hp LS2
09 CTS-V 556hp LSA

I thought the new V's are in the 11's?? I would think that the V that the OP is talking about would be a supercharged V???

Seems not to be the case - http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-cts-v-series-forum-2009/159380-new-cts-v-disappointing-1-4-a.html

Probably some gravity challenged drivers...

Potential for 11s. Not many will get the necessary 60ft, I'm sure.

Whoa settle down there bucky. :flipeye:

Actually, that wasn't directed at you, I didn't even see your post:punch::D

I only wrote that because alot of people still think the LSA and LS9 are the same thing.

Figured I'd get some quick facts out there.
