2013 Hot Rod Power Tour And Sema Show Car...2013 Cadillac Cts-v on 2040-cars
Texarkana, Texas, United States

Up for grabs is a once in a lifetime show stopper. She was at the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour in the Eaton Booth and made the entire drive on the tour with some amazing vehicles. While on the Hot Rod Power Tour we won the Dyno Shootout at the stop in Texarkana, Ar. Fast forward to Sema 2013 and our friends at Dynocom asked for us to enter the car in their booth to help draw attention and sell some Dynocom Industries Dynos and that we did. The car is a true joy to drive, has tons of power on tap with 15psi throught the stock supercharger yet stays true to the Cadillac brand and is a true Daily Driver. On April 4th 2014 I took the car to East Texas Muscle Cars so we could have a dyno graph to share for this updated listing. She put down 709rwhp and 623tq after a few tweaks but we pulled a couple degrees of timing and fattened it up a bit and brought the numbers to 685rwhp 620tq. Air fuel ratio is a nice flat line at 11.6 throughout the pull.
If you have any questions please call me at 903-278-9069 http://www.lsxtv.com/news/wsc-750-whiteside-customs-800-plus-hp-silver-frost-cts-v/ Whiteside Customs’ WSC-750 is just one of 100 CTS-Vs that were painted matte Frost Silver from the factory. But that isn’t all that makes this car unique… Luxurious, powerful, planted, and refined – those are all great words to describe the 2nd Gen Cadillac CTS-V. But would you ever go as far as to call the car “unique”? If the car was a bone stocker, perhaps not so much. However, if the CTS-V in question is the WSC-750 from Whiteside Customs, then our answer to that question would be “absolutely”. The WSC-750 had a head start on standing out above most other CTS-Vs before it even fell into the hands of the guys at Whiteside Customs. It is one of the rare collector edition 2013 CTS-Vs with the stunning matte Silver Frost paint job. Cadillac only produced 100 CTS-Vs in Silver Frost, and this particular car is number 93. Even though the WSC-750 is named for it’s supposed 750 crank horsepower, the actual number is somewhere well over 800. But that wasn’t enough. Whiteside dove right into the car and transformed it into an ultra-high performance machine that truly stands out from the crowd. Under the hood, the supercharged LSA has been outfitted with a custom grind cam and a set of ported heads from Texas Speed and Performance. Additional boost is provided from Lingenfelter pulleys, and a Lingenfelter cold air intake keeps the O2 flowing, while a KDI Innovations heat-exchanger cools off the charge. Kooks 1-7/8 inch headers, high flow cats, and a Corsa Touring exhaust system move the spend combustion on its way, while giving the CTS-V a throaty but refined exhaust note. Mike White from Whiteside Customs tells us, “While cruising it’s silent inside the cabin and still retains that Cadillac comfort. But if you’re on the outside, the music from the exhaust is amazing!” The guys from Whiteside call the car the WSC-750 because they estimated it would make around 750 horsepower at the crank. It turns out they were a bit too conservative. “The car dynoed at 675 RWHP, which would make this a 840 crank horsepower car,” says White. “So for grins we actually refer to this one as the WSC-825.”
The suspension was also updated with solid bushings from Whiteline, and set of high-rate lowering springs from Eibach. Adding to the WSC-750’s unique factor is a set of Forgeline RB3C wheels with titanium colored centers and brushed outers. These are special wheels because they are one of the first sets from their Concave line that Forgeline produced with a stepped-lip. The wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires, in 265 and 305 widths. The guys from Whiteside debuted the WSC-750 on the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour, and had an absolute blast showing off the Caddy’s capabilities. “The car was a huge hit,” says White. “We won the dyno challenge, came in top 10 in autocross, top 10 in drag racing and drove the car the whole time. No trailer for us. We even took the car up to the Tail of the Dragon and handling is superb!” In case you are wondering – yes, the WSC-750 is for sale. The guys at Whiteside plan to build a total of 10 of these CTS-Vs, but this particular one will be the lone Silver Frost among the bunch. For more information on the WSC-750 or all the goods and services they offer for late model Caddys, give Whiteside Customs a call at 972-542-0255 or visit their website here. http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/events/1311_coolest_gm_cars_at_sema_2013/ |

GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation
Sun, 21 Jul 2013Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.
