I saw some kid around here driving a heavily modded CTS-V. The exhaust note sounded like a muscle car. I've got to say I fuckin love the CTS-V and def like Hennessey's work on the viper, challenger, CTS-V, ect.

Not quite viper presence but if you see a V screaming up on you in your rear view it's definitely noticeable.

Been watching those videos on the V forum for weeks. $6k.

Originally Posted by JTHennessey
Here are the details: The V is an auto and has about 900 miles. Our V650 package includes: 4 inch cold air induction system, 1 7/8 stainless headers, high flow catalysts, upgraded midpipes with x-pipe flowing thru a stock rear section exhaust (reasonably quiet at cruising and idle, aggressive at wot), new billet supercharger pulley upgrade with modified blower snout (14 psi), 180 degree thermostat, re-programmed computer and intercooler system upgrade. OK, those are the general details and I am sure you guys will have a lot more specific questions about all this stuff.

Let me just say that we will do our best to post pics of these new items as we can. We will sell each item individually or you can buy a package from us. We also welcome any other shops or tuners to buy from us - we will take care of you. We are using the EFI Live software and have been very pleased with the results.

The V650 package will take a professional mechanic about 15 hours to install. Cost for the complete kit is $5,950 plus shipping. This is for a gain of 71 rear wheel hp and 60 rear wheel torque - these are peak gains over stock. At lower rpm's we are seeing closer to a 100 rw torque gain! You can really feel this in driving the car on the highway at part throttle.


Will consider this after I've had the car another couple of years and it's paid off. I need max reliability as the Silver Dragon is my daily driver, so definitely not now.

Before you guys comment on the price, consider that on the S2000, a Vortech supercharger costs about the same for a little more whp gain.

Gotta pay to play. Relative to the cost of the car, it's not a big deal; in fact, as a % of MSRP, it's less than the CTSC for the 3G TL.

That's what I'm trying to say, but I failed. The price is relatively not bad for what you get.

I think the price/hp is competitive with other mods that will deliver that kinda HP gains. I honestly think if I had a CTS-V my license would be gone at this point.

Automagical. I have my non-manual-driving wife to thank.

John Hennessey just posted this gem on the Caddy owners site. Enjoy, I did!

SIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.
