Hmm ... I have one Cadillac, what's one more, right?

As an aside, I almost bought a used Cadillac CTS-V several years ago for a daily. I was living in Massachusetts at the time and went with a new Mazda3 instead for the winter. It was the right decision at the time, but it would have been nice to have bought both. laugh

I've watched that car race for several years. It races at Waterford hills regularly and does well in the class.

More pictures please. 

I'm not in the market, but my 16 yr. old son recently decided that the CTS in the driveway may be a better option than buying a cheap SN95 Mustang and is interested in what can make a CTS look more aggressive.

Lowering springs, wheels, and a V style mesh grill make a big difference.

As to the car in the original post, I've seen it kick butt at Waterford Hills and can confirm it looks and sounds awesome on track!
