As a cadillac technician these cars are so sweet and easy to work on. The CT6 Blackwing V8TT was one of my personal favorites. Had to do a intermediate shaft bearing for howling noise at highway speeds. Amazing cars overall. Sad GM always cancels them after a few years.

[@Gatorsrok]

"Easy to work on" my ass. Coming from being a Ford technician, I havent seen a worse design on my 11 ctsv trying to do spark plugs on cylinders 7/8. Installed an AEM air/fuel gauge the other day and getting to the O2 sensor connectors alone are a headache... but at the end of the day at 650 rear wheel, it makes up for being a p.i.t.a.

[@TheCornerstone33]

@@Gatorsrok Lol hey u cant tell me nothing coming from ford I used to own a 3valve 4.6 and that had the single worst starter placement I've ever seen in my life.

[@Boostisablast]

That’s why i just snagged a 19v!

[@Mmmyess]

GM cancels them because they aren't selling. And they aren't selling because there are too many knuckleheads thrashing the cars, as though they were junk not worthy of being taken care of. This video is basically a long stream of kids beating their Caddies to death.

[@TheCornerstone33]

@Mmmyess Its honestly sad, in my opinion a CTS-V is a cheaper and much more reliable BMW M5. You get the power of a corvette in a comfortable Sedan. Enough power to have fun and the comfort to take the family out for dinner. Plus GM is 10 times easier to work on and doesn't have the factory installed oil leaks that plague BMW and Mercedes not to mention the crazy prices Germans want for parts.

[@thomaswilliams1533]

Did you know it was Cadillac that was the first manufacture to put magnetic ride control in to its cars. It was the 2002.5 Cadillac Seville STS that first came out with mag ride. Lot of people credit Ferrari or other manufactures and don’t realize it was the brand that was once called the standard of the world!

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

I know. I've been reading car magazines since the early 90s

[@dustbull70]

Cadillac is GM, but if you mean car as a general term and not passenger sedan the c4 zr1 corvette was GM’s testing bed for magnetic ride control back in the early 90’s

[@paulwindisch1423]

Magnetic ride control was introduced in 1992 on the Seville STS equipped with Stabilitrak. I believe it was also available on the 1992 Eldorado ETC. They were expensive struts, but they worked really well and were generally reliable. I had a 1998 Seville SLS that had magnetic ride also.

[@johngatsby1473]

And I absolutely hate the magnetic ride control on my XLR. The shocks start leaking very quickly and cost allot to replace. I just replaced mine with Bilsteins and it rides like a dream.

[@tedosmundson7326]

I have a 2008 STS with magnetic ride... no problems and I love it.

[@karljohnson5778]

Let's not forget how a CT5-V Blackwing was faster around Willow Springs Raceway than the M5 CS(Even though BMW said the quickest way around a track was AWD, and Cadillac just proved that theory wrong.)

I've owned a 2009 CTS-V sedan with a manual transmission for the last few years and I gotta say, I still absolutely love it; one of the most underrated/overlooked vehicles in my opinion. It's a great blend of speed and luxury (granted, not nearly as refined as most European vehicles) without breaking the bank in terms of price point, maintenance/service, parts/mods, etc. Currently undergoing an extensive build at the moment (built 416ci, Kong 2650, E85 w/ nitrous, etc.) and the idea of making >500hp stock let alone 4 digit horsepower figures in a 2-ton Cadillac sedan truly makes the CTS-V a modern-day sleeper.

[@kdark54]

Love these breakdown videos showing the explanations. Don't always understand it, but amazes me how much thinking and engineering has gone into these machines.

[@johnmc67]

Yet again, modern GM had all time greatness in their grasp, but killed off the Blackwing engine, instead of dropping it in the CT4 V Blackwing! Imagine THAT engine, if tuned to rev out a bit more, in THAT car. Greatest sports sedan of all time!! If they fixed the current cars silly rear end, class up the interior…

[@josephdominics5935]

Ohh bro...(SMH) You are so right. GM does that crap all of the time. They always have the ability to be the greatest car company on the planet and they simply... Fumble the ball five yards in front of the goal line. They've been doing this for decades. Do you remember the old GM 2.4 l quad 4 banger? Back in the '80s, they put three turbos on that thing put it in the car that look like a silver cockroach, and set a land speed record. Same motor that everybody talk crap about and said was a piece of junk.. only because GM never finished making it great and maximizing the potential and capabilities.. instead, they settle for a bad reputation worldwide. Who the f is in charge there? How can someone get paid to f things up ? Lol. I don't know I don't mean to rant but damn it I know what you're talking about.

[@thedaredevil1907]

The blackwing motor was a test bed for the c8 zr1

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@josephdominics5935 Well the Quad 4 would eventually become the Ecotec. It wasn't a junk motor, as much as it was planted into a bunch of junky cars. That's always been GM's problem since they went to the predominant transverse platforms.

There’s definitely something to be said by the channel when you like every video published. Keep up the great work

[@999.Strixx]

If you are looking to get into a V, I highly recommend the ATS V. I bought one about 6 months ago and its been amazing. The fact im piushing just under 580WHP with just DPs, e30, and a tune.will eventually be targetting 620+WHP with fueling mods next. They are pretty cheap to, yo can get a decent mile one for 30-40k

[@Overstand_Thinking]

Do dey sound like true v8s bcuz i hear alot of people say they dont sound as loud or aggressive by them being v6s turbocharged???

[@bobsmoot8454]

I’m a die hard V fan, having a Gen 2. The Blackwing 5 is a handling maniac and delivers for those more interested in going fast from A to B versus straight line acceleration, where the Germans with all wheel drive hold a significant advantage, but going flat out on a back country road, they’ll be looking at disappearing taillights. If I had to buy an ICE car today it would be either a C8-ZR1 convertible when it finally gets here or the Blackwing 5 if buying within 2 years.

[@v-sport1]

Amazing! Just missed that the ATS-V’s LF4 was first seen in the CTS V-Sport which debuted the Twin Turbo platform as the LF3. The upgrades on the LF4 are modular to the LF3. Can swap those upgrades seamlessly. The LF3/4 platform is Cadillac’s greatest gem. Tune & mod them from 600whp up to 700+whp with moderate effort.

[@danguetersloh7499]

700whp is rough to get to unless you're going hybrid turbos, and then it's a waiting game for when your main bearings or rod bearings are going to give up. I'm running on a low boost tune right now to sit pretty in the low 500s. Max effort tune on E85 was 628HP/666ftlbs of torque for about $2k invested between the fuel pump cam, HPFP internals, LT4 LPFP, Flex Sensor, Downpipes and a tune.

[@timtresch4848]

wow, great video covering the entire Cadillac v lineage. I don't think were done with the ICE yet, I know a lot of the "environmentalists" are all ready to have the manufacturers just drop all ICE infavor of EVs but when it finally dawns on everyone how much of strain all these EVs will put on the electric grid, and that we are essentially trading one fossil fuel consumption for another(gasoline for coal and natural gas I think manufactuers will pull back on EVs to ICE and hybrids, not to mention all the car companies battling for batteries driving up the cost to produce pure EV further, its going to be clear we are going to need ICE for cheap, long distance transportation for a long time still, especially if people keep fearmongering and neglecting to develop nuclear further.

[@iceberg4736]

That 4.2 TT Blackwing could've been the start of something bigger; imagine it in other models like the XTS-V (challenging the X3/X5 M) or in a hypercar format with hybrid tech, America's answer to the 918 Spyder perhaps. Sadly, that will never happen.

[@arc00ta]

I have an XTS VSport and its a great DD cruiser, a basic 93 tune puts it around 450-460hp and it has every option I need including AWD. Its very big and heavy and FWD based though so it is not a handling machine, but considering I got it for $14k with 70k miles I really can't complain about it. I'd love to get my hands on an STS-V with the northstar supercharged V8, those things are so cool.

[@DFX4509B]

I'm pretty sure the C8 Z06, and upcoming CR ZR1 and Zora do/will do a pretty good job competing in the super/hypercar segment. Z06 even is a confirmed Ferrari beater when it outran the 458 it benchmarked against.

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

[@EliteMacFreak]

The ATS-V typically does 12-14 psi boost, not 18 psi. Boost can go up to 18 psi depending on barometric pressure, so the car makes the same power at high altitude as sea level. When you increase the torque target in the ECU, boost increases to 21-22 psi, and the ATS-V makes 485-530 RWHP (571-624 BHP) on 93 octane with tight gapped colder plugs, intake, and exhaust. The limit of stock turbos is 620-635 RWHP (729-747 BHP) with E60-E85. With upgraded turbos and max effort mods, there are a lot of ATS-Vs doing 725-755 RWHP (27-29 psi boost). Considering the weight it's surprisingly quick.
