My CTS-V build

Might as well post some pics up of the V as I'm going through her:
Car already had the following mods:
Forgeline 19x9.5 and 19x11 wheels with 255/40 and 305/30 19's
American Racing headers
Eibach springs
2.55 upper pulley
Upgraded heat exchanger
Tune
I've added so far:
ZL1 lid, ID 1300 injectors, BAP, Flex Fuel sensor and then a few mods for looks including a complete blackout of the car and hydrodipping various parts and the engine covers.
Car will get an E85 tune with these mods should be around 600 to 650HP to the wheels and run low 11's/high 10's on drag radials.
The day I bought it:

Mid Blackout:

Cool! Was the ZL1 lid a direct fit?

You have to modify the coolant lines but it bolts on

Very nice, love these cars. I think you might be selling it short, I'd shoot for mid 10's with that HP.

Continues to look better and better...... Love the hood insert!

I wonder if the metallic nature of tuxedo black can be used with painted tail lights?

The V and the SRX are 2 of my alltime Caddy fav's (thank you Allante XLR!). Awesome watching the V build on here

Almost bought a 2012 V this weekend, but I really want a white Wagon. They seem to be unicorns.

I am planning on doing a lower pulley, cai, and tune and leave it alone.

If you have E85 close by doing a boost a pump, ID850 and the flex fuel kit with tuning will net you another 100+ HP to the wheels and with the flex fuel kit if you can't find E85 the tune will auto adjust to normal gas.

I could do all of that, but this is will be my daily driver. I want to K.I.S.S.

If I want to go fast I have a h/c 97 Viper gts with a progressive 300pill. Could finish my putting together my 408 single turbo fox also...

Yeah the Flex fuel sensor kit is coming out plug and play for $500 and the BAP is around $180 and injectors are around $600 to $1K if you use FIC instead of ID so pretty cheap and that's a 10 second setup, 600 to 650HP with your other mods.
Still pretty KISS

4DR.... Did you get the hood, etc. back on. I'd love to see the blackout with CF inserts as a total package! It looked great apart in the paint booth.

EcoPowerParts · January 13, 2014, 04:03:29 PM

Not yet, today/tomorow.

Updated pictures from recent work. Hopefully will have the car back next week. I keep adding things so the timeline keeps slipping.

Calipers and ZL1 lid were painted a clear candy red, they both match even though the lighting is a bit off. My wheels will have the centers painted gloss black and highlights on the edges in the red.

Looking forward to the finished product!
