hello - i have only had my car for a few days, but i have found on two separate occasions that the engine will surge, with the engine moving up and down in rpm, so that the car surges back and forth while driving. both times it happened while cruising - i am used to this with high performance...

for sale - 4 wheels and tires. fit second generation CTS-V. wheels are 18x 9.5, (stock were 19 from factory). These clear the V2 calipers just fine. wheels are Drag Wheels DR-37. the paint is coming off in a couple spots. good shape overall, minor wear. tires are Nokian Hakkapelliita snow...

track mode exhaust still isnt really loud enough for my taste. still very docile while in car. see my post in tech section. i'll be bringing out the hole saw soon...

Another inexpensive option is to cut open stock muffler and remove packing then weld it shut. I did this on corvette z06 a long time ago. Sounded good outside car but still too tame for me On my V1 CTs I replaced stock muffler with short glass pack. Could probably be done on black wing with a...

I guess I am late to this party, but i just received my CT5 Blackwing. Initial observations: 1. car is really nice 2. all the different modes are confusing - there are modes you can dial with the console button, then there is PTM modes (different set of modes) and then also V mode. tricky to...

Anyone have any leads on louder exhaust for CT5 blackwing? The stock muffler is gigantic. I am thinking of putting exhaust cutouts just before the muffler, where the pipes turn upwards. I had cutouts on my V2 CTS, and it was OK, not fantastic sound, but the price was right.

CT5 Blackwing updates: the hub diameter is the same as my gen 2 CTS-V - i did not measure it yet, but my hub spacer rings fit perfectly. an 18" wheel (Drag Wheels 37) will not clear front caliper. I am pretty sure it will also not clear rear parking brake caliper Drag Wheels DR-60 19" wheel...

looks like i may actually have my car to my home in a few days, so I will update with aftermarket wheel fitment details this weekend i hope. more to come...

Hello all - I have a relatively inexpensive 19" wheel that I think will fit the CT5 - i plan to use it for snow tires. I also have an 18" wheel that was used on my Gen 2 CTS-V that i'd like to try out. But my CT5 is delayed for a long time now. I am 15 miles north of NY City. If anyone has a...

any chance anyone has measured the inner hub diameter of the wheel? would be nice to know this when trying to figure out aftermarket wheels

Mirza mentioned a while back that the front backspacing is 20 (19x10) and the rear is a 19x11 with 50 backspacing. that matches the markings on the rim seen in this video.

i am still waiting to get my CT5 blackwing (apparently it is sitting in michigan somewhere for the past few weeks0. But i am determined to get winter tires/wheels before too late. I am pretty sure an 18" wheel wont clear in the front. if i go to a 19" wheel, the tires i want in 275/35-19 are...

I have a set of 18 inch DR 37 inexpensive wheels that fit the second generation V. I’m curious to bolt them onto my 5 black wing if I ever get it. I bet it will fit the rear just fine although the front will probably be very tight. It sure would be nice to use an 18 inch winter tire on the car...

I am putting up for my sale my favorite car ever (and I have had a bunch!) – 2013 Cadillac CTS-V wagon with 6 speed manual. The car is the “Stealth” edition, which came in a blue metallic (similar to a corvette shade that I think was called lemans blue but I might be wrong). Recaro seats...
