2004 Mallett Cadillac Cts-v 500hp Ls7 427 C5r Beast on 2040-cars
Fayette, Alabama, United States
2004 Mallett CTS-V, C5R race block, 427, making 500rwhp. Completely customized, lowered, remote adjustible coilovers all around, tubbed rear. When I got it the motor had been tinkered with. We sent the motor to Goodwin Racing in Wisconsin for a build. I have about 1000 miles on it since rebuild. I can send you engine build sheet, break in dyno report, etc. I have every record, the entire build book from Mallett. It was built as "the M5 killer". Mallett's car actually won first place in the Car and Driver's Supercar Challenge ( http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2004-mallett-cadillac-cts-v-page-8 ) Jim at Speedsouth in Birmingham, AL did the dyno and engine install. I can give you his number to ask any questions. He can vouch for every inch of the car. 2004 Cadillac Mallett CTS-V, serial number 04-V-005. It is silver with black interior. It is complete with all build documentation, dyno sheets, original books, tools and service records which support the mileage. This vehicle was built from day one as a serial numbered, production Mallett car. It was never delivered, titled or driven as a regular Cadillac. It was ordered, built, invoiced and delivered directly from Mallett as a new vehicle. It is one of the earliest production Mallett CTS-V made available to the public. The cost of the conversion was $58,000 not including the cost of the car. The engine is a custom 7.0 liter (427 cubic inch), completely hand built and assembled by Mallett. This is not an LS7 crate engine. It is a genuine C5R race unit, hand built with a billet reciprocating assembly. Included are a Moldex billet crank and rods, forged pistons, ported/polished heads, Mallett proprietary camshaft, Wilson composite intake, and a custom ECU map. An auxiliary engine oil cooler was also installed along with a larger Griffin aluminum radiator. C5R Engine upgrade - $15,000 Spark plug wire insulators Custom 4 core alum. Radiator - $725 Engine oil cooler, remote filter, fan - $1,460 ECU Tune $ 999 D port T304 stainless steel long tube headers, Random Technologies catalytic converters, Mallett Corsa mufflers, 3 inch T304 stainless tubing elsewhere to polished Corsa tips. The exhaust sounds amazing. At idle, the very aggressive cam lope is audible. It?ˆ™s hard to believe how good it sounds. At cruising speed, it is very comfortable and quiet. The engine is a real, handbuilt race motor and definitely sounds like it. Long Tube D port SS headers - $1,946 Random Technology high flo cats. - $1,261 Mallett stainless mufflers - $1,299 The car features a full Mallett suspension with heim jointed, adjustable rear control arms, custom front and rear swaybars and end links. Penske remote reservoir adjustable coilovers were a special option that is very rare on these cars. There is no rear axle hop under acceleration. The rear wheelwells are TUBBED 4 inches per Mallett specification. This is a very special Mallett option and is extremely rare. Another very rare option is 19x9fr and 19z12rr custom Mallett wheels by HRE. They were the first prototype set built by HRE specifically for the tubbed chassis on 004-V-05.

Cadillac: The standard of what?
Fri, Jul 28 2017Cadillac's tagline "Standard of the World" goes back to 1908 when it won the Dewar Trophy. While you might think that the moniker and the trophy have something to do with a feat of racing and daring-do against a cadre of British, French, and German marques, it's nothing of the sort. Rather, Cadillac achieved the trophy because of interchangeable parts. The parts they were producing back then were so well-made that Henry Leland, who established Cadillac, was able to disassemble three Model Ks, mix up the parts, and then put together three functioning cars. This amazed the Brits who handed him the trophy, and the "Standard of the World" was born. During the past several months, Cadillac has been producing news releases that would seem as though the company is the Standard of the World: "Cadillac Global Sales Rise 44.2 percent in January ... 18 percent in February ... 22.1 percent in March. . .40.9 percent in April ... 33.8 percent in May ... 7.2 percent in June." Like the Dewar Trophy being about manufacturing not performance, things are not necessarily what they seem. That is, Cadillac's growth is predicated on performance in China, not in the US. Through June, its China sales are 80,357 vehicles for the first five months of 2017, versus 72,073 in the US. The China number is a 75.4-percent year-over-year increase while the US number is a 1.6-percent decrease. For the entire globe, Cadillac has sold 164,174 vehicles. Of them, 65,250 were the XT5. That was followed by the ATS, at 34,277 units. In the US, the XT5 is doing reasonably well, as it has moved 29,798 units during the first six months. The ATS, conversely, is doing not particularly well, as it is down 26.2 percent with sales at just 7,209 for the year so far. To put that into some sort of context, know that Cadillac has sold 7,370 copies of the generally derided XTS, which is down 24.7 percent. The CTS is down 36 percent at 5,059 units, and the only other car in the lineup (we'll pretend that the ELR doesn't exist anymore and it shortly won't), the CT6 sedan, is up 172.7 percent – but they have sold only 5,397 CT6s. While Caddy talks a good game about competing with the likes of the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes E-Class, know that those two sedans have been sold 17,036 and 20,783 times this year in the US respectively. So what is Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen to do? According to Reuters, it is to cull the lineup.
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.
