Re: Cadillac's back
 

the Northstar motors have to be the worst oil leaking POS ive ever seen.

Re: Cadillac's back
 

the first couple years were, but they're BADASS engines :)

Re: Cadillac's back

Re: Cadillac's back

Re: Cadillac's back
 

cant wait till Johnny buys me one of them XLR V's :y

Re: Cadillac's back
 

I wasn't impressed with the curb weights of them, but I guess thats the price you pay for luxury.

Re: Cadillac's back
 

CTS-V
Curb Weight MT 3850

STS-V
Curb Weight AT 4233

XRL-V
Curb Weight AT 3810

all 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds

Re: Cadillac's back
 

Thats almost 2x the weight of my car, but even so it's still probably quicker. :'(

I actually looked them up earlier today after watching the vids in another thread. I sat inside a CTS-V before and had to get out of it before I blew a load all over it.

It's about time GM gets back to interesting cars that have personality rather than having 5 different cars that look more like just different models of the same one. Too bad they're going under.
