Highlights
- This CTS-V is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report indicates no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this Cadillac’s past; it also shows mostly Southern ownership since new.
- A partial list of notable equipment reported by the seller includes 18-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, and leather and suede upholstery.
- Notable modifications reported by the seller include long tube headers, a later-model year 8.8 rear differential, a K&N air intake, and an RPM Transmissions short shifter kit.
- The CTS-V was introduced in 2004 as Cadillac's first true high-performance sports sedan. Aimed at competing with the likes of the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, it borrowed performance parts from other GM performance models such as the Corvette. The CTS-V also marked a particularly interesting historical return for Cadillac as the brand's first car with a manual transmission, V8 engine, and rear-wheel drive since 1952.
- Power comes from an LS6 5.7-liter V8, rated at 400 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Due to the modifications performed to this CTS-V, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
