Interesting Cadillac V-day video from China

I wonder why they don't do this sort of hooning here?

DaYummm!!! That would be an interesting show to put on before a race, no? Very politically incorrect, but the crowds would love it. Seems the Chinese like American cars.

you mean caddies are performance cars? I could never tell by all the blue heads running around at 10mph under the limit here in the summer

Pshhhh.... Big deal. Give me a new Caddy and a case of beer, I can do that.

I was talking to a guy with a CTSV in a parking lot a while back. Asked him if he liked it. He gave me the kind of smile that you couldn't get off with a wire brush.

Reminds me of the SAAB Suite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5R0XnM98LU

Looks like GM translated the Saab Performance Team to Caddy.

A guy has one here at work. He has owned a lot of cars and said the CTS-V is his favorite out of all of them.

That is a pretty gnarly clip.

Yeah, the CTS-V is a sick car, all right.

I've never driven one, but when Dad test drove a V6 model, he said it was the best car he'd been in since his 93 300e... And thats saying something. The V is on my list of cars "that I someday think I'll own but might not but would be very very happy if i did"

Oddly, none of the cars in the video seem to be Vs, just the regular CTS (the non-mesh grille is the giveaway).

did you notice the LED brake lights UNDER The bumper?

Reminds me of the "Joie Chitwood's Tournament of Thrills" I saw as a kid. Jeez, no wonder I'm so screwed automotive wise. Riding home in a GT350 didn't help

Damn, that was refreshing

That's cool. Too bad you can't do that sort of thing here in the land of the free and home of the brave anymore. Oops, I mean land of the nannies and home of the lawyers... Yes, most appeared to be "standard" CTS's. There was a black V at the end. Wonder what mods they did to the diffs on the "ski" cars.

either welded or a serious LSD.. I doubt any sort of electronic locking diff could put up with that

Did you notice John Heinricy at the end?

I believe that was at the CTS V launch in China. I believe it was the same time J Hei took a black CTS V to Nurburgring.

Wow...

I did 3 laps at Monticello in a CTS-V during the CTS wagon launch. Monstrous power and great handling, it was gobs of fun.

If Monster Truck emcees would stop getting run over, we would have fewer lawyers... having a motorcycle jumper slam into the wall at the same event didn't help matters...

Maybe trying to reduce the population there?
