Cruising at a 90 miles an hour I punched.. it a couple of times Hit 150 like it was nothing.. the car took off like a bad outta hell... Cannot wait to make upgrades to see what it can do. Very happy with my dream car.

Congrats bro! I've had my 2015 CTS-V Coupe for 5yrs now and I'm still in love with it! A few mods and the car becomes alive! Not that it wasnt before but im talking about scary power! 1st learn to use all of its modes, be it sport or track (double tap on steering wheel) tightens steering as well as turns T/C off completely just partial Stabilitrack stays on says its track mode and after you're comfortable with that I'd recommend exhaust, airraid CAI, 160° thermostat, upper pulley with snout or supercharger porting and a tune and the car becomes a beast!

Got a 12' CTS V coupe in black diamond tricot, manual shift (yep it's a unicorn!), Ricardo seats, yellow calipers, corsa cat back exhaust, cold air intake...it's SO fast and sounds amazing. different than a C6 Vette, which I also have and love. When I first saw this car back in 2011 in mall parking lot, I fell in love with the rear end...so sexy looking. I looked the car up on Google only to see it was $77K, but finally bought my '12 5 yrs ago with only 9K miles for a good price. The price will only go up on these cars. You got to drive one to believe how amazing it is!

For the last year ive been reviewing everything C6 & C7 Corvette related and until NOW after watching your review and ironically That dude Bill from Auto Europa Naples who posted his review today on a 2013 black CTS-V with an extra 80 hp. WOW 😳 this might be my car to go for... more refinement than a C6 Z06 .. I love the exterior of this Coupe, amazing lines and the interior with those Ricaro type seats is amazing. Great to see that the quality after nearly 80k miles is excellent... Ill see what options are out there when the time is right for me, but looks like a CTS-V gets the nod !!

That 551 HP is flywheel but with a few bolt on mods, like mine has, you can easily get that at the wheels. Mine just dyno'd at 540 WHP. The only complaint... the infotainment system is crap, especially when using it with a phone. Oh and the rear end will come out but it is all in the tires. Put some real soft, sticky tires on it and it stick really well.

Ok this coming from a tarnished Cadillac owner for 35 years and the last two certified NYS lemons. However from what I read this vehicles engine is hand built so this HAS the edge in quality over their other cars . The V is the only way to enter a Cadillac dealer . My heart is with them and it WAS sad I had to leave. For the record the CUE system ( not in this car) installed is so flawed . The top technicians couldn’t figure out how the Radio volume would go full blast when I put the heated seat on. The car had to be restarted . Try that on the HIGHWAY .
