Cts-v Clone V6 304hp Fully Loaded! Navi Heated/cooled Seats, Luxury Package 1&2 on 2040-cars
Faribault, Minnesota, United States
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.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?
Tue, 24 Jul 2012According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.
