D3 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon First Test review

Crushing. That's an apt description for this heavily modified Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. Calculating the theoretical 15% drive train loss of roughly equates to tire-punishing figures of 740 horsepower and 775 lb-ft.
Updates include a new intake; a supercharger pulley kit That includes a harmonic dampener, boost pulley, idler pulley, and crank bolt; new spark plugs and plug wires; plus the requisite performance ECU remp.

Slightly Wider than stock - 265mm wide up front, 295mm wide at the rear - these Provide the ridiculous levels of grip Necessary to put the equally ridiculous level of power to the Pavement.
Despite the sticky rubber, new springs, stiffer anti-roll bars, and chassis bracing, D3's creation Practically matched bone-stock our long-termed. Testing director Kim Reynolds noted strange behavior During front-end testing as well as a clunk from the rear end.

Because of the substantially lowered ride height and chassis bracing, the car scraped at the slightest provocation. In all, D3 threw $ 14.202 worth of moods onto this car. That shaves $ 2,019 off the cost, resulting in a $ 12.183 bill for the cooling, engine, tire, and brake upgrades.


The modification costs about $ 14,000 for the D3 Cadillac CTS Wagon
From the specs, We already Knew That the D3 Cadillac CTS Wagon Will eat the stock 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon for lunch. So, how much is the D3 2011 Cadillac CTS Wagon faster?
