I never had a super hot girlfriend so i bought one of these.

[@sandking9918]

Must be nice, my fiance wont let me get one 😂

[@christianolguin8493]

Rolando Solis I’m sorry. My fiancé gave me the green light to get one. I wanted a f body but she wants something more “family car” and she gave me the thumbs up on the V thank god haha

[@alucarus6]

@@christianolguin8493 I have the fbody. Just missing 4 doors for more whores. I mean, kids. More kids.....

[@ipineiro554]

The CTS-V wagon is the ULTIMATE sleeper.

[@aquateen77723]

I agree! The wagon is *badass*.

[@fastls1855]

Yes sir!

[@ThisRecordsScratched]

Can't believe I like the wagon more than the sedan, but I do haha. Really classy looking cars.

[@thecapothedon]

ivan pineiro I NEVER SEEN NO1 DRIVING THOSE. SEXY AS FUCK!

[@Fony_turgeson]

Except it's ugly. Sedan is beautiful in the middle especially 6spd

[@octagonapuus]

Completely unbiased Cadillac review by a Mustang owner, you sir are my hero. Good filming, great car, and an awesome review.

[@aidand8195]

That first burn out shot was the sweetest, keep up the hard and good work David!

[@speedlabs4]

You really don't feel the speed.. I sometimes look at the Speedo and realize I am over 100 mph!!! It is a great car

[@Kseriessuck]

Papa Stone so that’s why i see v owners always hauling ass i assume y’all don’t even know you’re going way over the speed limit

[@abaddon3735]

That's a caddy for you, ctsv or not - I have an 03 deville and can do 80 on the highway and I feel like I'm floating lol

[@great4ever845]

That's like all muscle cars 🤣

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Nice review David! The CTS-V is definitely an impressive car! I loved the one I reviewed too although I wasn't quite as in love with the interior as you were, but with performance like that, it's good enough! lol

[@s4ur950]

I agree with you! I prefer a RS4 or C63

[@Batzzy0]

You never like any interiors or seats though...

[@adambabcock3569]

Hes complimented many interiors and seats, or at least in the vids that ive seen. You mad Brian? lol... sounds like you take these reviews a little personal bro.

[@pxosted]

Batz yo thats because hes 6 ft and weighs only 130 pounds.

[@butt5810]

subaruwrxfan just came from your video lol

[@CashPac]

I saw one of these up at Lime Rock Park on the track and it was one of the most impressive cars I've ever seen, that thing is fast!!

[@TheGetawayer]

Didn't we talk about this car in our vlogity vlog ? :D Yet another awesome review. I even have a neighbour here in germany who owns a red one ! Keep up the great work, David, I very much enjoy your reviews buddy !

[@TonyDSG]

I like watching your review videos because the reactions are natural and I know you don't have any automakers stuffing your pockets for a good review. Keep it up! Can we get a ford lightning review?

[@sirscorpio1154]

When I come back to the old videos I can't believe how long ago they were or how far you've came David

[@Amac1825]

Have to say you music selection for the vids is spot on.

[@evilpearproduction]

Cadillac CTS-V, best butt cooler in the world.... I think that should be their new slogan!

[@mattcolleluori3070]

I work for Cadillac as a lot tech, and I pretty much drive those everyday!! They're so AWESOME!!!!

[@carguy615]

Loved this quick little review. If I could make a meme like they did with Jasmine I would. Keep doing what you love man. Stay safe and take care.

[@chillingamer1016]

2 Ggod Reviews In A Row!!! First The Pontiac G8 Now This!!! U R On A Roll Keep It Up!!!

[@TheExtra40414]

i really enjoy watching your reviews man.

[@TheDutchTexan]

I knew I was going to review a CTS-V sometime down the line so when I saw this video I had to force myself NOT to watch it. It was hard... took a long time... but finally I could watch it. The tires on the one I reviewed where off limits for the tarmac-BBQ (so I kept the nannies on), but man. It really is an awesome ride isn't it? That grunt it has... insane! Cool review dude, loved the tire roasting!

[@TomDeVito]

I love the cts-v! The styling is absolutely amazing the whole car just screams Murica awesome review David. I would love to own a cts-v someday

[@dylanpowell3213]

Love all the car vids man, keep it up and I'll keep watching

[@kelvarnsen1749]

How much strength did it take to say, "It has the greatest butt coolers of all time?"

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

None.haha

[@jonswiftucf]

I've always owned Japanese and German sports cars. I bought a 2010 CTS-V in manual of course a month ago and love it. One of two American cars I'd drive. Very impressed with the package you get, best of both worlds for sure. Well done by GM. I could nitpick about some things but overall happy with the car.

[@KabatDaniel]

I can't believe I'm actually saying this.. But this is by far the best youtube-channel ever.. Don't listen to the haters, you were born to make this!

[@TheKnightRider24]

I can dig this Caddy for sure!

[@Ryanm2296]

You always have a sick intro. You should give a list of your top dubstep/techno songs

[@DaveReid-pgh]

GO AMERICA!! Awesome review of this beastly Caddy. I love the CTS-V inside and out. The sound and power are just incredible.

[@braxtonnyland4110]

You have the best intros I've ever seen

[@johnnynapier5073]

When you get on it at what mph do you hit before you slow down??

[@123etgwbvgdcfawsfr]

hey david, how do you make your panning shots so smooth? do you use a rig, steady heads or is there so trick to it?

[@TPoww]

I detailed and drove a cts-v coupe, it was a first time driving one and I gotta say I was impressed. theres a quick video on my channel of it, it was a pretty sick one

[@donniep90]

Damn just cranking out these awesome reviews

[@andyb0x]

Nice review. If you end up in North Texas shoot me a message and I'll let you review my modded V coupe

[@tbowe10]

ThatDudeinBlue I was about to ask if this was El's while I was waiting for the video to buffer. I bought his old Goat from him. Wish I would have had more time to kill while I was over there, I would have tried to talk him into a ride in this beast. Great video!

[@ablysmal]

How would you compare it to the G8 you reviewed?

[@3rdGenGuy]

That 6.2L LSA V8 can easily make 650 horsepower with $1500 worth of bolts-ons. Basically you just undo the de-tuning GM does.

[@Norma.B]

We have a 2011 Cadillac CTS v sedan interior color ebony or black with dark colored wood trim. The color is a dimond white tricoat that is an extra thousand dollars. We have a 2005 cadillac xlr with a very light interior along with very light wood trim and color is crystal red tricoat and Way better than a corvette but looks just like it. A 2011 Cadillac Escalade dimond white with ebony interior with regular wood trim and a 2013 Cadillac SRX pearl white metallic exterior and a black exterior with regular wood trim. Can you tell we love our Cadillac vehicles?

[@michaeld2971]

Update video of how it is now?

[@autonut21]

At 8:40 when u "mat it" it seems that it, (the car) thought about going fast far way too long before it did. Was that what happened, or was that just how it seemed on the video? Was it deciding what gear, then how much boost, then how open the throttle plate should be before it did anything?

[@Krysco51]

Loved this review. "I dont care about the 500hp, I just care about the best butt cooler ever" lmao!

[@AngryJesus]

Have you considered doing a first gen CTS-V?

[@kaupoEST]

awesome video and car! would love to see you doing a review of a vw corrado vr6

[@seabass1ification]

hey bro, try and get your hands on an M6 Chevrolet SS. Id love to here your input.

[@nhskiier8239]

You and subaruwrxfan do some of the best reviews and deserve more views

[@Callediceman]

I love cooled seats.... VOLKSWAGEN DO YOU HEAR ME...... great video man!!!!

[@surferdudehb352]

Is it more badass than a gen 1 Viper?

[@terryrutherford2114]

I own a 2011 CTS-V sedan. I hope to buy a C8 Corvette Z06, but I will not part with my Cadillac. Great car. Thanks for the Vlog. Sorry I'm 6 years late. Haha!

[@ajvangorden1344]

I think that this car is a huge step up, the power and luxury is a good combo. I like race cars but if I had the money I'd buy one of these. Or a BMW M3 E92. I like the high revving V8. I want an STI but at the same time I wouldn't mind having some luxury with my sports car.

[@AlexanderRichardson218]

Hey have u ever been pulled for speeding?

[@naperking]

Great review, I used to own a 2011 CTS-V Coupe and overall it was an awesome car. Just one thing, that's actually the incorrect way to hold a wine glass.. :)

[@bg147]

My brother has an Formula Atlantic race car. At the place where he runs it, they receive loaners to test and he said the trainers like to do burn outs in this car. The other moaners including the Corvette are less popular.

[@QQ-hm4nu]

That car is heavy ..how much horses does it have after all the weight ?

[@oceankham]

i wouldn't say a detuned version of the zr1 hence the zr1 uses an LS9 while this cts v has an LSA motor. Both very similar but still different.

[@daffiecars]

I would love to see you do a review about the 2013 audi rs6 , grts

[@btafire2]

Gotta love that deep rev limiter sound!!!!! :D

[@PeterGregg]

I've been waiting for this one. So well done. The video I mean :)

[@PhatMikeSP1]

I really like this car, would be one of a few cars I would purchase, Im more into trucks now and Im digging the ford raptor

[@chrishernandez4134]

David I would like to you to review a genesis coupé don't matter if its the 2.0t or the 3.8 but is has to be stick lol

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Man I love that car. Such amazing lines and aggressive body styling plus the comfort and luxury interior of bmw/mercedes exports. Such a crazy nice car hopefully I can find one thats under 13 or 12g's

[@MrJc9600]

Lol this is a 60 to $70,000 car you'd be lucky to find one under 40g's

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

***** I found an 08 mid trim level one with around 70k miles for 12k, american cars don't hold value that good I guess. Mind that the seats are bit worn tho and some signs of wear and tear are their but nothing a bit of work couldn't fix.

[@smgs921]

MrStreetballer5 That's a CTS not CTS-V big difference in power and quality

[@bigmacs9396]

lol cheapest one i have ever seen is 36k and that was with 95000 miles.

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

smgs921 Nah it was the cts v. Just saw that comment my bad for late reply.

[@rivalblue9020]

i would recognize that parking lot anywhere, you were at ballahack airsoft!!!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Sure was! El is great friends with the owners.

[@blakebias9515]

Is road laws strict In virginia

[@burnout1256]

so much class, so much power

[@thudstick]

Hey man I just subscribed! Hail from Boise, ID. I love your reviews man and I just bought a 2006 GTO so I love the review you did on that red 2004 one!! Anyway keep up the good work and if you know of any good LS sites or events let me know!

[@Abn-ru6gr]

Good pick man. I'm El and I own the V and the GTO. Send me a email if you have any questions about performance upgrades.

[@thudstick]

El Freeman i really appreciate it man. Thank you so much. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@andreasantillan7035]

out of the ctsv charger challenger and camaro all 2010 what one would you say is a all around better deal?

[@DeiHarper9361]

camaro or challenger

[@cocoiscool1000]

Cts No doubt

[@Patrick94GSR]

Man if it only it had the manual gearbox! Wasn't there one model of CTS that had 6-bolt wheel hubs, along with the huge brakes?

[@wild6496]

Please do reviews like this again. Miss the American muscle reviews

[@TehAirsoftNewb]

Heyo! this is at Ballahack, the fantastic airsoft field in VA.

[@erickch33]

Is it better than the Chevy ss

[@markdunseith640]

Isn't that engine also in the Camaro ZL1? Good review btw!

[@Kseriessuck]

These are going down in price people! Snatch one while you still can

[@Emzlv702]

Just got one today! 5k 130k miles on it. Needs about 2 to 3k to make her look new though but that's alright with me.

[@Kseriessuck]

@@Emzlv702 jeez 5k ? Is it a regular cts or a V? Even V1’s hold their price down to at least 8k in decent condition if it’s a V that’s a one in a million price specially if it’s a V2

[@akenakon6687]

New Subscriber! I really love your channel

[@Hole_Motorsports]

wanna review a superformance cobra?

[@RR101001]

0-60 in 4.3 seconds woa thats a beast 4 door sedan

[@RK1FX]

I like the coupe rear looks more, but this is a proper early 30's guy car. Great machine!

[@jenniferalison3600]

Lol I'm looking into getting a car and I'm almost sixteen and obvi a girl. Not sure if u want this one or a mustang. Still trying to decide :\

[@JOSEC760]

Jennifer Alison get this!! my buddy got one a week ago and I'm in love with the car

[@jenniferalison3600]

haha Thanks! Still looking but I really do love the car but I'm thinking about getting something older now...

[@albboy96]

one of the most boss looking cars out there

[@mmmmmMuffinz]

do an update on this car with all the mods your friend did to it

[@DatMat]

I will always be a Pontiac enthusiast, but I must admit, this car is badass

[@jeremytn1]

Please try and review a SRT-4!!!

[@Multigunner20]

You should review a genesis coupe 3.8

[@Soysauce614]

It'd be sweet if you could get your hands on a supra by Real street Performance

[@chadfoust6942]

please help. I am so torn right now! 07 335i or 1st Gen CTS-V? please way in if you have driven both

[@Nate_H.]

1st gen is plagued with problems.... sorry but true. Super fragile rear end. If you can, pony up for the 2009-2015 CTSV, if not, go for the 335i which is about as fast as the 1st gen ctsv.

[@chadfoust6942]

I knew about the rear end. Anything else? Thank you

[@Nate_H.]

Harmonic damper, driveline bushings, motor mounts, dual flywheel separation. Look all of these up before making up your mind. Good luck!

[@chadfoust6942]

Thanks

[@raymondascencio9215]

At 46 secs is that the Pontiac g8 in the background?

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

raymond ascencio It sure is, I did both reviews the same day.Somehow. haha.

[@raymondascencio9215]

ThatDudeinBlue Awesome, I'm new to your channel and just been watching for a couple days now. You're doing an awesome job and i love your channel. it helps a lot.

[@johnwillyn]

my wife make me get a 2011 regular cts ( not V) instead a 2012 lexus. im so disapointed. should get the lexus. my trunk dosen't open anymore, only passenger headlight work, the interior materials feel so CHEAP (except the leather seats are nice) the navi screen is geting stock and make noise, the keyless start ain't work sometimes (i replace the key fob battery twice). i can't change the ac zone, this thing is falling apart with only 87k miles and i really always take care my cars, but never again!. just trying to sell this nightmare and get a lexus or infiniti. :/

[@fluffeetalks2me]

Perfect car right there.

[@thudstick]

Hey El, in our GTO's do you have to get an aftermarket ecu or tune the ecu in order for the car to recognize headers , cat-back or any other exhaust upgrades? Are there any back pressure issues with our cars once you do exhaust mods? Or could I just slap on some pacesetter headers and get the gains right away without any tuning?

[@Abn-ru6gr]

Here's my email man [e-mail].

[@thudstick]

I did Headers on my 2000 GTP and gained 17whp and 11 wtq

[@thudstick]

17 hp is a good gain for a 200whp car. thats almost 10% and I noticed the power right away. Its your opinion, bro. Which you're definitely entitled to. But most people would agree that exhaust mods wake a car up and are well worth the money

[@thudstick]

Well I doubt it's in my head when a dyno proves my point. You should do what I did, and take a stock exhaust car and do a base dyno run and then put a full exhaust on it and then dyno it again. Or just research any car mods video, online or talk to someone that's done it. They all agree with me dude. Companies would not be making exhaust kits for decades and people wouldn't buy them if they did nothing. Headers woke my GTP right up. After doing headers and downpipe along with 3 in catback all the way back I gained 28 whp and 21 wtq. Thats over a 10% gain considering the car only makes 200 whp stock. Almost a 15% gain. Ask anyone, you need to make at least 10% more hp after doing a mod for you to "feel" the difference when driving the vehicle.

[@thudstick]

Yeah the GTP is supercharged. I have the dyno sheet still in my car's folder. A lot of people have these cars around where I live dude. They're everywhere. The GT's and SE's are all over..GTP's are a little more rare, but I see 'em all the time still. I modded my car with pretty much full bolt on's and out of all the mods the headers actually made the biggest difference in hp gain,. You're right about torque. The headers only gave me like 11 tq but I got a substantial gain in horsepower.

[@TheJuggernauter]

why is this in 240p?

[@glareofspace]

any update on this car? does the owner have a channel?

[@john200871]

glareofspace I just bought the blackmoon products car (700+hp ctsv coupe) and will start uploading videos soon

[@LemonadePvP]

keep up the amazing videos

[@slinarez]

Haha it's not just a detuned ZR1 motor. It has a different supercharger (1.9L vs 2.3L), different pistons, no dry oil sump system, different intercoller, different inlet and exhaust valves, different exhaust manifold, and different main bearing caps. It's a lot more different than most people think.

[@connorjones6153]

You should find someone who will let you drive the wagon version, as if the ctsv wasn't incredible enough, doing Al that as a wagon would be awesome.

[@71sc502]

Detuned version of an lsa, not ls9 (zr1 engine)

[@goatmonkey2112]

What do you think, used CTS-V with around 20k -30k miles or new Chevrolet SS? Either is around $40k - $45k at the moment. They both suck down gas like there's no tomorrow, but so much power and practicality for either one.

[@thatm3guy993]

+goatmonkey2112 I absolutely love the CTS-V, but you are getting so much bang-for-your-buck with the SS.

[@ICYASIAN95]

Ss because you get a new car

[@fpscanada5953]

+goatmonkey2112 Get the CTS-V I sold my 2014 A4 and bought a 2012 CTS-V and haven't looked back I am in love it.

[@a7xliker]

Anything new yet?

[@highwaystar1009]

Car looks freakin' gorgeous.

[@easycheddy]

love the car its a luxurious 4 door corvette with class

[@joseluisvargas8234]

Wow just got one the same 2010 4 door same color. 52k miles. I got black interior

[@Parq_75]

Cool

[@davismullen8713]

I saw the coupe version of this at at local car show it was pushing over 670 hp souned so mean

[@brintitan]

The ctsv is Darth Vader in a suit. I named my Sid “short for insidious”. The balance of track appreciation/ignorance and getting the car valeted on a night out, is a straight up gem within American vehicles.

[@jonwal]

6:32 so 6:37 soooo 6:40 sooooooo Haha, I'm just giving you a hard time. Great video as usual though, I always look forward to your reviews.

[@SilentMovements305]
