They did not have that at the Nashville International Auto showm in fact there were no Cadillacs at all there. I was a little dissappointed at that.

Tuning and boost control through a couple after market vendors is pushing these engines to 500hp already. Really powerful v6 platform, love to see GM putting this type of performance and strength out for the non v8 market.


On the phone as normal!

But with that kinda that power, what kinda of fuel economy will one be getting? If its the same as a V8, then why not just go with one?? I also bet that those turbo six aren't gonna be cheap.. But that is amazing power though.. Is it weird that I have been having Camaro withdrawals?

Hey V6 guys and gals....checking in here too...

Ive had mine (2014 LS base bare bone lol) since september and already have a new windshield (the wiper gouged it like it was made of diamond) and over thanksgiving a deer rammed my fender

Anyways, no serious damage, but will need work, so im thinking of adding the rally stripes since its going to be repained, am i right? lol

Anyways..the car is a hoot to drive and ridiculously stable (even on all seasons in snow, with all the ASR, TC off). Im used to V8 cars, that are bigger so im loving it...still i have the pangs for a v8...

Also something on my list are louvers...yes..i have an 83 Z28 with them and kind of want that look again...

There are the pics of her...shes a red rock metallic gal..and im thinking of the black rally stripes

Totally different platform with four door and AWD. Similar MPG to the SS almost 1000lb heavier "luxury options & driveline" and only a half second slower in the quarter. Power for the dollar the camaro wins hands down. I envy the 100+ ft lb of torque and 80 hp gained from less than 1000.00 tuning though. I prefer the camaro LFX + forced induction for the power to dollar over this Cadillac however experiencing an AWD twin turbo launch from the line is an indescribable joy!

The LF3 puts out 420hp and 430ft lb tq in the CTS, they probably really upped the toque management in the XTS to keep the AWD junk from blowing apart?

The price diff in the CTS NA 3.6 v6 to the TT 3.6 v6 is only $5370... Seems resonable...

The cost issue is that you are buying a Cadillac.

I'll have a blast win or lose. Lets run in bracket also! (assuming they have a V6 class for us). I love running against the big dogs & beating a few of them. I'm still permagrinning from the ZL1 I beat last year at LS Fest in Bowling Green!
