[@smithjoe5179]

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.....

[@octagonapuus]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 🤣

[@kelvarnsen1749]

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

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

None.haha

[@andyb0x]

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

[@evilpearproduction]

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

[@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!!

[@mattcolleluori3070]

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

[@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.

[@TheKnightRider24]

I can dig this Caddy for sure!

[@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 !

[@aidand8195]

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

[@rivalblue9020]

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

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Sure was! El is great friends with the owners.

[@Krysco51]

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

[@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

[@TheExtra40414]

i really enjoy watching your reviews man.

[@Amac1825]

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

[@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!

[@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.. :)

[@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...

[@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.

[@donniep90]

Damn just cranking out these awesome reviews

[@Ryanm2296]

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

[@chillingamer1016]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@DatMat]

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

[@braxtonnyland4110]

You have the best intros I've ever seen

[@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!

[@RR101001]

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

[@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

[@burnout1256]

so much class, so much power

[@siantschild2010]

The 6.2L LS-A engine which is used the CTS-V, as well as the ZL1 Camaro, IS NOT a "de-tuned" version of the LS9 motor found in the C6 ZR1 Corvette. "De-tuned" would mean that the engine internals are all the same, but power outputs are different based on engine software, which would include engine mapping and fuel mapping, uploaded to the ECU. De-tuned implies that if you were to flash the LS-A with the LS9 ECU tune, you would get the exact same power. HOWEVER The LS-A motor, while boasting the same displacement and being SIMILAR to the LS9, actually has a smaller supercharger. The LS9 has a 2.3L Roots supercharger, the LS-A uses a smaller 1.9L supercharger, with only one heat exchanger. Also most of the moving parts in the LS9 motor are forged, whereas they are not in the LS-A Close but no cigar.

[@vernonprice5986]

TGUKF It's actually LSA not LS-A. And the fact is that while you're correct about the forged internals and the supercharger sizes, the LSA and the LS9 are both based on the LS3. The LS9 is an LS3 with forged internals and a supercharger, the LSA is an LS3 with a supercharger. Yes there are very minor differences between them, but they are all basically the same engine. Relax about it.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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!

[@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!

[@robertstrimpel4223]

Yeah it's basically a ZR1 motor, but with a smaller pulley. I think Cadillac has stepped it's game up the most, but with everything else besides the new Vette and the trucks, GM still makes cheap garbage with even worse interiors. Especially now with these millions of cars recalled...not looking too good

[@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.

[@albboy96]

one of the most boss looking cars out there

[@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.

[@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

[@frodekf]

In my opinion American cars are more luxurious that European cars

[@frodekf]

My picture is an American flag but I live in eastern Europe. You're right, American cars were shitty in 2000's but now they are much better. I'm not saying that Ford or Dodge are as luxurious as for example BMW or Mercedes but Cadillac is at the same level as those two European brands

[@frodekf]

Yeah, it's beautiful ! I just wish American cars were as big as in the 1960s/1970s As far as I'm concerned the last real American cruisers were 2000s Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town car

[@svenskfox]

frodekf I really hope that never happens. More land barges are the last thing we need.

[@thenerfergeek325]

frodekf dont listen to fox, my Father still uses his Town Car Executive L with 3000,000+ miles and its running strong. It might get handed down to me but NYC parking is not fun to scout for.

[@stirkac]

Try and sit in 2014 Mercedes S and your opinion will change ;)

[@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.

[@apancher]

"The interior, is with no surprise, immaculate." No, no, that's most surprising thing about the whole car.

[@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.

[@dylanpowell3213]

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

[@nhskiier8239]

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

[@Tha_Zhuk]

one of the few good cars america makes

[@michaeld2971]

Update video of how it is now?

[@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.

[@wild6496]

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

[@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.

[@Hippoyeetomus]

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

[@PeterGregg]

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

[@TehAirsoftNewb]

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

[@YNTGUNS]

I love my fords but man chevy can really make some good LS engines

[@Callediceman]

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

[@easycheddy]

love the car its a luxurious 4 door corvette with class

[@JuanTomlinson472]

Review an ISF 👌🏾

[@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?

[@jessmane]

"Has everything you need"...except a clutch..

[@Dylan-xj8tb]

its an option bro, you aint gonna get a clutch in a m3/m5 or amg

[@jessmane]

I know it's an option. In my opinion it's dum. If you're gonna get a 500hp vehicle getta stick. There's a reason I won't ever by a m3 m5 or Mercedes....cause they're lammmee.

[@jessmane]

Idc what anyone says I can't agree with autos in high horsepower cars. When they drag they have pneumatic shifting. Still dum it's not real racing to me.

[@Dylan-xj8tb]

J Camaro its a luxury car, some want an automatic in a luxury car. and it is true when they say autos are faster in a drag race, especially a stalled auto. I'm a manual fan too but you gotta respect both sides. auto is for consistent fast runs, manual is for fun and to have the driving experience.

[@jessmane]

I do respect em I'm just saying they're super boring. And any chance I get I'll tell someone to get stick lol.

[@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

[@highwaystar1009]

Car looks freakin' gorgeous.

[@justinblanco3121]

Review a is300 :D

[@SilentMovements305]

The name speaks for itself. Cadillac

[@blvk_sky]

Prefer the wagon version but still love it(what's with the auto though?)

[@sambeckwith5201]

Jared Moore It's a luxury car. Hard to find luxury cars in manual.

[@blvk_sky]

***** They came with a stick though

[@sambeckwith5201]

They did. But they're hard to find.

[@blvk_sky]

***** no doubt there. That's why the 6spd V wagon is basically the ultimate gem

[@tylercouture216]

+Jared Moore if u want manual they had to speced like that

[@fluffeetalks2me]

Perfect car right there.

[@victoroliveira3256]

Looks like fun, question have you ever received a speeding ticket doing these reviews, and I'm sure the cold ass feature must be awesome swamp ass is totally gone.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Nope.haha. Just gotta be smart and considerate with your locations.

[@victoroliveira3256]

Cool great vid thanks

[@roncombs25701]

very nice review I want to see u review a stock or modified srt6 please lol

[@MrDulvalius69]

He left out a huge plus about this car going from his gto to this, and thats the back seats and has 4 doors. I dont think he mentions that at all!

[@11094DEREK]

Modern sleeper what a beast go 'murica!

[@kaupoEST]

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

[@jeremytn1]

Please try and review a SRT-4!!!

[@daffiecars]

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

[@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]

[@markdunseith640]

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

[@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.

[@chas4256]

movin on up! before you know it you'll be reviewing supercars

[@Soysauce614]

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

[@sabermswia9501]

L has a great taste in cars

[@wastegatesandwelfare]

2:17-2:31 I know how to tell. The CTS-Vs will always have that bulge in the hood and those obvious V stickers on the doors and trunk. And David not the motor is a detuned version of the one in the ZL1s and has a different supercharger than the ZR1

[@vernonprice5986]

WarmSoftKitty Just to clear this up it's not an LS3, it's an LSA, yes the LSA is in both the ZL1 and the CTS-V, the only difference is the supercharger lid which was redesigned for the ZL1, hence the ~20 more HP. The lid is interchangeable, you can get the same 20 HP increase on the CTS-V by swapping on a ZL1 SC lid. And yes, the LSA has a 1.9 liter supercharger, the ZR1 has a 2.3 liter supercharger.

[@vernonprice5986]

WarmSoftKitty www.ctsvowners.com/forum/4-engine-supercharger/2403-zl1-blower-lid-swap.html www.ctsvowners.com/forum/4-engine-supercharger/2403-zl1-blower-lid-swap.html Yes, SC LID. Are you stupid?

[@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. :/

[@Sevan_UP]

And this car had a ton of horsepower along with the luxury. Wether 200 horsepower less than a gto or not.

[@damnwhoshotya2036]

lol you will get a DUI if you "hold your wine glass like this" while driving

[@Eazyebnk]

Awesome videos keep it up man, I'm sure you have been asked this a million times, but have you ever been pulled over while making these videos?? Haha

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Nope. Just have to be smart and considerate of your shooting locations.

[@czeropSTI]

ThatDudeinBlue If you do get pulled over, definitely film that! You can be the next Rob Ferretti! I hope you don't get pulled over though, just so we are clear.

[@hypnotistchicken]

ThatDudeinBlue Where do you go in Richmond to film? I live in Richmond and have been looking for some fun roads.

[@joseluisvargas8234]

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

[@Parq_75]

Cool
