Here is a 2008 Cadillac Cts with the best cts-v clone package you will ever find. Not many people can find all the parts that we had to find in order to clone this car, and even if they could find them, not many people would invest the money. I know I can’t get all my money back from what I spent on this car, but its time for me to get a SUV and thus my baby must go. I bought this car from the insurance company back in 2011 when it had about 35,000 miles on it. at that time it had light front end damage to the right front side of the car. The hood, right fender, bumper cover, and cooling needed to be replaced. This car honestly has every option that you could get in 2008. It has moonroof, pop up touch screen radio with navigation, heated and cool seats, HID headlights that turn when you turn the steering wheel, the 3.6 Direct Injection engine, remote start, 18” Polished Aluminum Wheels, and so much more. I love the look of the Cts-v, however I don’t need all that horsepower and I wanted to drive it all year long and thus I needed the All Wheel Drive. I am a woman and I just wanted something that was different from what everyone else had and yet I wanted it to be a safe daily driver year round. Here is a list and cost of all the cts-v parts that I had installed on this car (no modifications were done to the engine):
-Cts-v hood
$1,000 -Cts-v Rear
Bumper Cover $500 -Cts-v Suede
Steering wheel and shifter $500 -Cts-v 3 piece emblem kit on the front doors and trunk $200 -Cts-v Black wheel center caps $100
Total cost that I spent to make this car a Cts-v Clone $8,200
I wanted to install the cts-v wheels as well, but the problem was that my car is an AWD and needs the front wheels to be the exact same size in the rear of the car. Cts-v wheels are alittle bit smaller in the front then in the rear. so the only way that you could put the cts-v wheels on this car is if you could buy 4 of the cts-v front rims. you can’t use the rears because they are too wide for front use. And to find someone that was willing to sell just the front wheels out of a set of 4 wasn’t going to be easy. and to buy 4 cts-v wheels from GM was going to cost about $2,800 plus the cost of the tires. Then the next issue was going to be the tires themselves. since I wanted to drive this car in the winter, no one makes an affordable winter tire in the size needed to keep the speedometer correct.
This car runs and drives great and needs nothing. there is one or two rock chips in the front of the car and there is a mark on the rear bumper cover where I accidently backed into the garage can in my garage. The body shop told me they could repaint the rear bumper cover for about $300 but I just never got around to having it done. If you know anything about these 3.6 engines, they have issues with the timing chains and I did have all of mine replaced with the new updated timing chains. All of my oil changes were done every 7,000 miles with mobil 1 synthetic oil. tires all have about 50-60% life left. The other issue with these cars is with the moonroof, the seal between the two pieces of glass tend to leak air, so you will get a wind noise inside of the car. I had this seal replaced recently as well. It never leaked any water, but you would hear wind at about 60mph.

Here's how Cadillac made its Magnetic Ride Control suspension quicker and smarter
Fri, Oct 16 2020Bugatti makes the world's fastest car, but Cadillac claims it has developed the world's fastest suspension. Its fourth-generation Magnetic Ride Control technology receives hardware and software tweaks to deliver a more comfortable ride and sharper handling. It's offered on some variants of the CT4, CT5 and the Escalade. Introduced in 2002 on the Seville STS, this self-adjusting suspension is not as complicated as it might sound. It relies primarily on electromagnets that emit a magnetic field, and a magnetorheological fluid whose viscosity changes depending on the strength of the magnetic force. Sensors scan the road up to 1,000 times per second and send the information they gather to the electromagnets, which then alter their magnetic field as needed to modify the fluid's viscosity. The fluid is in the shocks, so making it thicker returns a firmer ride, and vice versa. In simpler terms, Magnetic Ride Control leverages chemistry and physics to make the ride sporty, comfortable, or somewhere in between -- all in the blink of an eye. By reacting to the changing magnetic field, the fluid-filled shocks filter out road imperfections and maximize tire contact with the road to deliver more precise handling. Cadillac began developing the fourth-generation system by improving the hardware. The in-wheel accelerometers are more accurate than before, the inertial measurement unit is more precise, and the damper fluid formula was changed for quicker response times and a smoother ride. Engineers then turned their attention to the system's software. They notably gave the sensors the ability to process a wider selection of input and output signals, which translates to a wider spread between comfort and sport. And, they made the response time up to 45-percent quicker. All told, the fourth-generation Magnetic Ride Control technology performs better under heavy braking and hard cornering, it delivers more consistent performance, and it reads the road more accurately. Cadillac proudly notes these are the most comprehensive updates it has made to the system in nearly two decades. Magnetic Ride Control comes standard on the 2021 CT4-V and the 2021 CT5-V, and it's bundled into the CT5's V Performance package, which also includes a mechanical limited-slip differential. It's also standard on the Sport and Platinum variants of the 2021 Escalade, and it's part of the Premium Luxury trim's Performance package.
Economy-car buyers increasingly get the best deal on technology
Mon, Apr 16 2018One of the great things about technology is – with the exception of Apple products – consumers get more for their money every year. For example, the first 1GB USB drive I bought in 2005 cost me $30. Today you can get 10 for that price, delivered to your door thanks to Amazon. The same goes for car tech. Features such as navigation and Bluetooth started out on high-end vehicles before trickling down to entry-level cars. Same with driver assist features ranging from rearview cameras to forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking — so now it's not only rich people who are protected in car crashes. I've found that this democratization of tech has reached a point where amenities on low-cost cars can be as good — and sometimes even better — than those on vehicles costing tens of thousands of dollars more. While attending a media event for the launch of the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, I was impressed by the car's cool styling and go-kart performance. Equally noteworthy is the amount of standard tech on the low-cost hot hatch. (Pricing will be announced later this month, but expect it to come in a bit higher that the current Corolla iM's roughly $19,000 base.) Even the base SE CVT trim of the 2019 Corolla Hatchback comes with an 8-inch touchscreen and Toyota's Entune 3.0 infotainment system. Among other features, Entune 3.0 provides Wi-Fi capability, Amazon Alexa connectivity, the Entune App Suite for integration of smartphone apps such as Pandora and Yelp and, for the first time in a Toyota, Apple CarPlay (but no Android Auto). The 2019 Corolla Hatchback is also the first North American vehicle to get the second-generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) suite of driver assists that's also standard on the base model. TSS 2.0 includes Toyota's Pre-Collision System (forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking) with new daytime and low-light pedestrian detection and daytime cyclist detection features, lane keeping and lane departure alert with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control, and road sign detection. While the 2019 Corolla Hatchback sets a new benchmark in standard tech on a budget-mobile, competing cars aren't far behind. The 2018 Honda Fit LX, for example, includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and assist and adaptive cruise, while the automaker's Lane Departure Mitigation and Lane Watch camera system is added the two top trims.
