Im 67 1/2 YO and a retired Union Pipe fitter. My 2012 CTS-V was my retirement gift (2017) to me for 44 years as a fitter. Its a OBM Coupe, because 4 doors are for old people and also its a 6 speed manual, because automatics are for old people! Per Cadillac I have one of 9 built in 2012. I call it it the V -Rocket, my brother calls it Master Blaster! This car is nothing but fun and that is what being young is all about.

The Cadillac CTS-V engine is an LSA 6.2 liter V-8, shared with the 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The C6 Corvette ZR1 did not have the LSA; it had the 6.2 liter LS9 V-8

great car especially with manual. Why do you think it needs more heat extraction when it's not overheating. If isn't overheating, then the GM engineers and R&D were successful.
@dbrotten25565 жыл бұрын
Heat soak! The supercharger gets very hot in the middle of summer and robs HP. Mine is a 2012 coupe, feels like 150 more hp in the winter.

All of these points are relaxant. The heat soak in particular is what I should’ve specified I was referring too. But yes, otherwise very responsive and reliable!
