    picked it up saturday from north carolina. long ass drive home...

    2005 cadillac CTS-V
    75,xxx miles currently

    35% tint
    dynomax bullet mufflers w/magnaflow tips, stock remaining exhaust
    CAGS delete (forces 1-4 shift in certain situations)
    hurst short throw shifter and poly shift linkage bushings
    DIY intake tube to stock air box
    poly diff bushing
    poly trans insert
    gen4 diff

    also have some poly sway bar mounts and motor mounts that weren't installed yet.

    a couple pictures to keep everyone satisfied for now:

    (stopped for food in VA at sonic)


    (stopped at the rest stop at the indiana/ohio border)



    so far i love this freakin car. it sounds awesome, it rides well, it's quick, and i can't wait to drive it everyday.

    for now it's sitting in my parents garage until i can get it registered and legal to drive around...


    edit: posting this here so it's easy to find:

    so bio how do you like driving a caddy? question does it have the air ride? the reason im asking is im trying to figure out when they stopped doing that. i drove a 1981 caddy that had it and it was a soft ride it was like beening in the most comfortable couch you can ever imagine while you were driving. i wish you the best of luck on modding it. lol
    im a cookie again yay me

    It won't have air ride, that's something a huge cruiser would have. It's a standard suspension.


    Did you atleast pull mid to high 20's mpgs bumming it on the freeway home??

    getting serious here, i'd LOVE to lower it. they look mean as crap being lowered. however, after driving it for 14 hours i have almost convinced myself to do absolutely nothing to it and to just drive it. almost is the key word here, really. we all know how well i do at keeping things stock..

    it doesn't have air assist, but i'm pretty sure it does have a magnetic load assist in the rear. i will need to confirm, though.

    we averaged just under 23mpg for the trip doing between 65 and 75mph the whole time for the most part. there were a few times where we put the pedal down in between there, including a tunnel that ran through the mountains in west virginia. it was awesome.

    Mountains don't help with fuel economy, but atleast tunnels are sweet.
