My name is Mike, I'm a second semester sophomore from Florida. I saw a posting for the car club on campus, and I am definitely interested in autocrossing my car. I have a black'04 Cadillac CTS-V. K&N CAI, Diablo Predator Sport CPU tuner, Nitto 555 tires, looking for a Borla cat-back for under $1K (it's tough). Right about 425 horsepower at the fly. Took it to the track once (1/4 mile) and ran high 13's til I blew my rear diff on my 7th launch. Not worried about trackin it on an autocross course though. I haven't seen another V since I got to South Carolina, but I hope to compete against other LS1/LT1 F-bodies.

Welcome to the site! Please excuse the mess we've currently got going on, it should be cleaned up shortly.

Nice car. There's a few other CTS-Vs in SC for sure, you see them from time to time, but they are not all that common.

Welcome to forum! Very nice car. There is a silver CTS withe black rims running around the Clemson area. I'm not sure if it's a V or not. Most likely it is not....

It's just a regular CTS. He/she was running around without a bumper for some reason last semester.

A friend of mine has a CTS-V but he lives in ATL. He let me drive it and it was a blast!

Shon Herron is the man to talk to if you are looking for an exhaust.

^^^ We now have a club car for those of you w/ the more drag friendly kind that want to give it a go once in a more appropriate car.

Welcome!

I remember playing with a CTS-V around CMP in a new Viper a couple of years ago. It was surprisingly quick! Smile Not too many college kids choose that car for a college car but they are really really nice IMHO Smile
