1000HP Cadillac 6sp Manual Test Drive with John Hennessey // H1000 Upgrade // CT5-V

Cadillac's CT5-V Blackwing's "luxury sedan meets American muscle" only gets better with more power. Following a 1000 HP upgrade based on Hennessey's infamous EXORCIST performance upgrade for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the Cadillac CT5-V becomes an absolute menace on the pavement. Recently, John visited the Pennzoil Proving Ground to record his first impression.

He's right.

But faster than the Cadillac using no gas

​Like WHO cares about that either way it's a fantastic car and I am going to own it very soon!!!​@@richardmesser1091

[@antoineaaron3754]

The no lift shift feature is getting even better now. It’s much smoother. I see they’ve been working at it

[@patallen5095]

Nothing better than listening to that V8 burble, pop and crackle!! Mr. Hennessey, thank you!! 👍

[@lewiscross7603]

It's crazy how well it handles the power.

[@JJDaCool1]

CT5 Black Blackwing my favorite ride right now!!! Cadillac did a amazing job!!

[@SuzukiKid400]

Too bad you can't buy one for MSRP anywhere.

[@bubbleman2002]

John Hennessey's laid back personality and soft spoken nature is an awesome juxtaposition to the rowdy and ludicrous vehicles he produces. Thank you for making these cars a reality, despite having not been around for it, I do long for the days of when manufacturers would offer dealership supercharging kits and performance heads, labour included, in cars you bought off the showroom floor, for customers who were just a little bit crazy!

[@veto8792]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@sjfk1306]

Well, considering he is a thief and a scumbag, he needs to be believable so people will hand their expensive vehicles over to him.

[@WineHouse33]

I remember when Hennessy was one of the biggest, and one of the first tuners out there. Now since the internet and KZbin, there are 100's. I guess thats a good thing?!?

[@chaunceysimmons4030]

​@@sjfk1306why??

[@SK-GT]

@@chaunceysimmons4030 pretty easy to rind on google. Early Viper days etc.

Bro the noise this beast makes when he shifts is absolutely insane.. edit (4:24)

[@sigmawoodspr04]

That 59mph in 1st gear.... sir!

[@eligennis5436]

that's what I can't get over. how is that even possible?

[@R_Noel]

The “yes ma’am” did it for me mr. Hennessy. You’ve been doing amazing work and I would definitely tune in to more of your reviews sir 😁

[@timmannchicken]

Hennessey summed it up best when he said he will "shut up and drive". 🤣 The CT5-V is a thing of beauty.

[@tmost7639]

Now thats a beautiful and Legendary car!! The CTSV is my favorite car of all time!

[@cristianrosales2217]

Sound so good 😩

[@FrankDBoyce]

Does it? Seems a bit tin-y for my liking

[@craigstark2712]

Not what you would expect when you see a four-door Caddie lol. Sounds mean for sure!

[@louiedoee]

@@FrankDBoycealways the old man to hate on something.

[@jasonlong8420]

​@@FrankDBoyceI actually agree. Sounds good in the car, but not liking the out of car sound

[@lordfordification]

​@@FrankDBoyceyes and no, I'm sure it sounds better in person. Recording with a mic and uploading to a platform like KZbin will severely limit your audio quality. That being said, I'm sure it's possible to get a better exhaust but it's going to cost you.

[@2samarie2]

The way this started sent chills thru me

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU, HENNESSEY PERFORMANCE,!!!!

[@daverobinson1574]

Thank you John. That was a great video!!

[@Ont785]

I love the look at that car wow, you did a great job

[@alanincentraljersey]

We have a 23’ CT5 V, not the Blackwing. This is a real racing car, ours is a nice driver for my wife. GREAT to see this review, thank you.

[@lawsonleatherwood4249]

Real racing car? are you serious? sounds like you're the wife buddy. better oil up im on my way

[@jimeagle5483]

That exhaust note!!!

[@victorcumba6305]

That blacking is BADA$$ nice color and a good amount of power I need one of those in my life 🔥

[@faraways7ab]

thank you, Hennessey . I would like to have one of these manual transmissions on my daily drive ❤

[@giselejuliao1418]

Parabéns amigo super lindo, vc é o melhor, estou imprecionada com a sua inteligência 😊

[@phil26]

Hennessey.... a dream a vision just beautiful! Combine the Caddilac CTS-V with your Brand, is just Amazing!

[@BrandonClark-StocksPassports]

CTS - V coupe from 2010 - 2013 was the best Hennessey Cadillac you guys ever made. I got one and it is by far my favorite version of cadillac of all time. You guys did a great job of showing it on Jay Leno years ago as well.

[@jonathanblake5844]

Love seeing John test drive new cars!

[@genemounce8302]

He's doing that because they're not selling cars. Hennessey doesn't have repeat customers. Google it.

[@carloslewis8448]

Sounds phenomenal ❤

[@AFPCL_Gameplay]

Epic work on this Caddy!!! 💪💯😎 I hope one day I can have one 😁.

[@JavierTorres-py6rp]

Sounds amazing.

[@perrylynch322]

[@thctitan5041]

I love this car also quick question for john, would you consider doing le mans at some point? im not sure if there's some sort of regulation or rule that wouldnt allow it but it would be sweet to see Hennessey build a car for le mans 💪

[@tomdave42]

I hope I shall hope you guys carry on your tradition with the new electric cars, I understand it's going to take a whole lot of different technologies to modify electric cars but well from what I've seen use you got it in the organization to do amazing things already and I can't wait to see the future

[@mattportnoyTLV]

Hands down the best looking Cadillac ever made.

[@03HL]

Hilarious to see the fuel range drop near the tach! awesome! :)

[@NATLCHEM]

Very Impressive, I have a Demon, I also have a 69 GTO with a LS7 motor in it, Built by Hat Rod Engines out of Seattle, Dyno at 810 , I believe the GTO will out run the Demon, I love the CTSV cars, They are just amazing cadillacs , Nothing like a muscle car in a Luxury car, I have a V12 Benz coup. Street legal monster by benz, top end 200+ I am not as lucky in Lauderdale as you are in Austin, I was there when the built Mopac, and the 360 outer belt, Had a lot of fun back in the 80's . Really wish I could afford Hennessey, !!!!!!

[@Luis-ty5zb]

I own a 2022 CT5 V Blackwing (manual) and have done 160 mph and the car is absolutely amazing in all aspects of it's awesomeness!! I can't imagine how much more with an upgrade

[@derrickharper6578]

U can push it past that easily, I got a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 and went 155 in it.

[@E9819_]

I’ve long been confused about GM not bringing the CT over here to Australia when they canned our beloved Commodore (and the Holden brand in general) they would have sold plenty. They’re the perfect substitute in both terms of power and style. Seeing what Hennessy has achieved with one of these only makes me more dumbfounded, it’d fit right in at Bathurst!

[@longjohn5322]

It would fit right in my garage also. What a magnificent beast. Looks like I’ll be sticking with the VF GTS until further notice.
