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.

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 2^nd 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 tore up North Carolina’s “Tail of the Dragon” US 129 in the WSC-750.

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.

Petrolicious eats up Rita Hayworth's 1953 Cadillac Ghia

Wed, Feb 11 2015

The automotive industry has seem some wonderful transoceanic collaborations between America and Italy, from the Ford-powered De Tomasos of the 1960s to the alliance between Fiat and Chrysler today. Of course it's also seen unfortunate experiments in between like the Chrysler TC by Maserati and the Pininfarina-bodied Cadillac Allante. But before any of those, there was a beautiful tradition of rebodying American steel at the hands of Italian carrozzerie. And this could easily be among the most gorgeous of them all. It's a Cadillac Series 62 from 1953 with bodywork by Ghia. It's one of only two made, and has a star-studded history. The car was purchased by Aly Khan, prince of the Nizari Ismaili muslims and Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations, for his wife... who just so happened to be the inimitable Rita Hayworth. They split up, but she held on to the car. Today it's part of the permanent collection at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA, so the videographical artisans at Petrolicious went by to check it out. You'll want to as well in the five-minute short above.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
