I have the same exact vehicle, 12’ ctsv coupe in thunder grey chromaflair. It’s a head turner, everywhere I go. Sexy and aggressive body lines loaded with one of the best LS engines ever built

[@MeynMotorGroup]

It really is an awesome ride! Fast as hell too was doing 70 mph like it was nothing just by looking at the throttle lol

[@picklebacon]

Exhaust Sports Auto haha yep, the more you get used to it the faster you go without realizing you’re cruising at 110 and not even noticing lol

[@rawful502]

I also have a 12' ctsv coupe with a cam, pulley and injectors making around 650whp. It is most definitely a head turner and I have had many people ask me questions about it. Definitely unique.

[@mauricemcneill1252]

I love my 2014 CTS-V I've finally got to be able to afford to get one. I've had my CTS-V for 5 months now....Stupid fast car! I drove my car from Florida to New Orleans and back! 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.

[@alleniverson2364]

U get the automatic? I’m also looking to get a 2015 coupe within the next couple months, not too many for sale I have to be really scoping for one

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

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!

As fast as it drives in a straight line, I love how it handles corners and windy roads. I always take mine up to the mountain roads where I live, and it just stays planted and handles every corner with no problem. It doesn't feel heavy when driving, either. Best car I ever had.

[@AnnetteLaFleur-yv8ws]

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!

[@terryrutherford2114]

I have a 2011 CTS-V sedan I love it. I have owned a 1988 Z51 Corvette and a 1991 ZR-1 Corvette. I loved them all, but love the V the most. I may get a C8 Z06 but I will keep my V. Thanks for the video!

[@collectivelight]

Interesting how it is better than the Corvette. I think these Cadillac coupes kinda fly under the radar. I like what they did with that brake light spoiler.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I think as a street car this would be superior for all the refinement things I mentioned but of course the vette is a real sports car and has unbelievable capabilities but the problem is those capabilities can never be utilized on public roads but the refinement and comfort can be used everyday. Yea I think they absolutely did a great job with the looks for sure. Thanks again for watching my friend.

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

I haven't even finished the video yet and it already got a like. 💛 I really love this video so far and I always liked the way this car looks, it's so cool. Thanks for doing it, I personally think it looks at least a little better than the Corvette

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Appreciate it my friend can't thank you enough for your support. Yea I do love the looks of this car for sure!

[@CoolGuy-ux5wx]

Godspeed Megatronus did you try putting the car in manual mode? If you put the transmission in manual, you’ll probably hear the pops and crackles from the exhausts.

[@kentkent2788]

Dude, you actually made a wicked video about this car. I have a Hennessey v650 coupe, and theres so many details people dont know about, and they legit quit doin such a sexy body coupe becuase who'd want a corvette vs this beauty

[@stephendibari5010]

Dude, this is an amazing car ! And your comparison to the C6 Z06 is spot on and I’m really re-thinking my “retirement” car purchase. 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 !!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Haha yea it def is amazing only time I noticed this being inferior to a Corvette is the at limit handling which no one will utilize anyways. It's certainly a rocket. But would you take it over your dream car the Stingray?

[@stephendibari5010]

Exhaust Sports Auto exactly dude ! I really have to drive both to really experience them. Just really loving the look of the CTS-V ! So damn aggressive and sleek.

[@stephendibari5010]

Exhaust Sports Auto Dude what kind of tires are Scorpions ? Put some Michelins on there and I’m sure it would handle better ! The whine of that supercharger is awesome 👏. Definitely loving this car.. 556 hp is more than enough.. definitely will want the manual tranny. Love those rims, i dont like the blacked out rims...

[@lexuslife9751]

Great video, thank you Exhaust Sports Auto!! Personally I love the car inside and out!! The exterior styling is awesome and the interior styling with the dark real wood trim is nice!!! The good thing about fake wood trim is that it doesn't crack though!!😢

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Another review of a car I freaking love! Was a dream car of my wife and I when it first came out.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

It really is an awesome ride i wanted one too when it first came out. I remember Justin Bieber had one with suicide doors lol

[@travyyyful]

I have a 3.6 V6 CTS Coupe. It’s been a decent car for almost a decade now but I’m debating on upgrading to this lol

[@w.w.1348]

That Alcantara steering wheel and shifter both need some care and restoration to bring them back to life. This is an easy job. The Recaro seats are fantastic. I can see this one has some mods and appears to have had a little rough life. The trim and window issues are more specific to this particular car. Nice review!

[@CadillacKenny]

Although you did a great review, I’m surprised you reviewed a ragged out V. That V was obviously not taken care of too well

[@motomarmot6544]

[@Healthliving1967]

[@kl0wnkiller912]

I love my 14 coupe! Sounds even better with AR headers, cat delete, 3" pipes and Corsa Sport mufflers. Power and luxury. 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.

[@kevintownsend3840]

I have a 2018 sedan, and my only disappointment is that it doesn't have a clutch. Before that, I owned the 05 CTS V and loved it. Thee coupe is a nice-looking ride

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 .
