Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

If I was to get anything other than a Magnum SRT-8 this would be it. A Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, with a 6.2-liter, 556-horsepower Corvette V8, six-speed manual transmission, magnetorheological dampers, Michelin SP2 gumballs, 15-inch front Brembo brakes with six-pot calipers, and microsuede wrapping on the steering wheel and shifter

if i was gonna spend that much money i would rather import and have a Holden Maloo

Not a bad looking Caddy but that Holden is SWEET.

depends which one you get. most are priced right around where a G8 was.

the one in the picture is a special edition with the same supercharged motor as that caddy and i think its like 50g.

I want the caddi myself, you can pick them up around 59K MSRP is 63 and some change.

As far as the maloo it's not a wagon and it would be alot cheaper to just Restore a EL maino that and importing it would be a bitch since it's NOT usa emissions compliant...

Also thats an HSV maloo r8, never came supercharged but you could get the LS3 in one which was over 430hp...



Also that is not a corvette engine the "LSA" is specifically for the the CTS-V's, and you for got to mention the BAD-ASS reacaro seats

That might be an VE it does it's has an LS2 and 400 ish hp

almost all maloo's get the LS3. the one in the picture has the same supercharged motor as the ZR1.

based on the local market Chevrolet Ute SS (a derivative of the Australian Holden Maloo) – think a modern day interpretation of old Chevy El Camino SS 454. Under the hood this ’ute (utility, or car based pickup in Aussie and SA parlance) sports a version of the LS9 supercharged 6.2-liter small block V8 found in the current Corvette ZR1.

In the Super Ute it’s rated at 565 horsepower and 590 ft-lbs of torque; enabling this car/truck thingy to scoot to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 175 mph. Other changes from the standard Ute SS include bigger brakes and performance tuned suspension with premium Bilstein dampers for improved handling; plus an available limited slip differential.

Finished in black and sporting massive 20-inch wheels shod in monster Bridgestone Potenza rubber, 245 section tires up front and 285s out back, it definitely looks the business.

A version of the ls9 who are they BS'ing it's an LSA...

1. The lsa makes that much more power in tunning

2. if it's and ls9 it's super detuned

3. it may be little that separates the LS9 and lsa, but the things seprates are significant and the price tag reflects that.

I'd rather have the W427

1. it might be the LSA i think contrary to what the article about the car says..

2. it actually claims 9 more HP than the CTS-V but i think it would be that motor not the LS9

That makes sense seeing as that what you would make with out cat's and high flow mufflers

it could actually be an LS9 with the caddy's smaller blower too... most of the power difference between the motors is the bigger blower the ZR1 gets and the cam shaft. the rest of the changes are mostly mods to make the motor stronger (better pistons, lower compression, ect...) that don't add any power.

I dobut it.

That alot of detuning lol

LS9
Hand built
Forged rods and pistons
Dry Sump Oil system
Individual Oil squiters per cylinder
A bigger Blower
and a bunch of other stuff believe it or some thing like 25% of the interanlas are shared.


550+hp on pump gas = no sweat
But 630-650Hp on pump gas = Pita

Not to mention these engines have to last 100,000 miles with that being said financially it would make a lot more sense to use an LSA with a tweked tune.

its not a lot of detuning. the LS9 would make less power NA than the LSA does. it has lower compression and a blower cam. a LS9 with a smaller blower would make right around the same amount of power as they claim.

none of the other upgrades you listed that they do to the LS9 make more power, they just up the durability of the motor on bigger boost.

happy car payment 62,000 to 70,000 no thanks. mines cool enough. ill make do

Lol and all i'd have to do is spend $80 for a slightly smaller puelly :p lol sooooooo $59,080 not to bad of a deal

I'll take the Holden thankyou...... I sorta have a soft spot in my heart for supercharged pickups......LOL

and it's a fricking Holden!!!!!!!

just forge your internals and run more boost and youll still be faster and cheaper that a cts v

I wouldn't mind one myself. I like the coupe a little better, though.
