Great show, meet Liev in Manhattan a few years back, he was riding a bike in midtown and said I liked the show he said thanks and away he went. Cool cucumber. Glad he is rocking the Caddy and some of the dialogue is Boston to the core. Need to catch up on the last few seasons.

She was willing to share the master. Always sweet and accommodating.

Let's go to the bah.

Agreed.

Looks too refined, like a BMW 7 Series Alpina, and is underpowered like one too. Let’s hope the CT5 remains sporty like the V3.

Liev was a parent at my son's (public) school, fwiw.

No shit? Public--- keeping it real. No one is going to ask what time of bike he rode?

Best scene was the liquor store, I think season three when Ray's wife had a few choice words for someone that was not minding their own business. Southie all the way.

How much did Caddy pay for that promo? any thoughts?

Unavowed --- some people where I live, I can't understand what language they speak. SOme of them really lay it on think and they sound retarded.

Some kid went up to him and said ‘my mom says you’re famous’.

Supposedly he replied with ‘my wife is the one that’s really famous’.

His kid was a couple years behind my youngest, so, needless to say, we didn’t run around in the same circles.

I did tell Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) to go back to work during the NBA strike a few years ago.

The Celebs will often send their kids to private schools starting in middle school if they didn’t in elementary school.

Our public high school has a good reputation, at least for an LA City public school.

You should visit Scotland.

I think people were seeing closer to 570 on average with intakes, downpipes, fuel cam upgrade, and tune, but yeah 600 was hit by a few with some tricks. A TT v8 should be able to pump out 650+ no problem if they didn't put tiny snails on it.

Something like that, depends on the fueling as thats the biggest hurdle, the one that has gone hard with those mods + meth and E85 would lay down 650+ rwhp on a dynojet id say. Think he made 630 on stingy mustang dyno

Car ran 10.3@134 with a manual

the part that is important is this "The sandcast aluminum block is a clean-sheet design, according to Cadillac, and it is fitted with a 10-quart sump, cross-bolted main bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, pistons from Mahle, and 5000-plus-psi direct fuel injection. The compression ratio is 9.8:1. The exhaust manifolds are integrated with the hot side of the turbo housings, which encase titanium turbine wheels spinning at up to 170,000 rpm while pressurizing the intake manifolds with as much as 20.0 psi of boost."

I would love to see just putting the car on E85 and see how much power it picks up!

The want for one is super bad!

also very interesting
"The front axle runs through the oil pan, ensuring the engine is mounted mostly behind the axle line for optimal weight distribution. While Cadillac’s representatives won’t talk about future product, they made it clear to us that there is potential left untapped in the engine to make an even more powerful version."

Sounds like its ready to handle some power.

Wouldnt be surprised to see them put this in a CTSV successor with the boost turned up and power increased.

Id imagine some aftermarket tuning and bolt ons could bring this thing up a few hundred hp in a second

I have, speak a lot of time there when I was an Expat. Had a bartender that was Korean ask me if I would like a pint of 'heavy'. My rods and cones could not process an asian with a thick Scottish accent, and yes the beer sucked.

 

[Blades1_99]

Ironic talking up its having less horsepower than V3, like it is a good thing.

Turbo integrated in the manifold sucks (thats how my BMW was) you can't use normal upgraded turbos you have to wait for people to machine out stock units to fit bigger wheels.

Forged crank, rods, and pistons sound nice though...

And the front axle going through the oil pan is a giant pain in the ass. It is the same on my wife's X3 and once it develops an oil pan leak it is such a pain in the dick to fix.

That's an easy fix. Ditch the ICE and replace with batteries and electric motors.

I think it's a little off on the looks but the power you could make with that TT V8 more than makes up for it. Is that 55k price tag actually for the V model? Because if so that's a lot of car for the dollar.

If a BMW isn’t leaking oil you have a problem.

A current CT6 AWD 3.0L TWIN TURBO In PLATINUM trim is $86k
V versions got be $100k.

Yeah that pricetag would make sense. I wonder if it will have the supercruise? Got to demo that, with the active steering wheel, and it was awesome!

 

[rdollie]

I just saw mention yesterday that GM is supposed to have an LT4 to EV conversion kit ready? I'll have to do some digging...
