Check this out!! what i sold my vette to get (video)
so yes i sold my vette, i was bored with it and ready to start the next project. my plan is keep this for about 3 yrs then pick up a '15 C7 Z51 (so if you get one take care of it for me)
3 months ago i picked up a new '14 cadillac ATS 2.0 turbo RWD. right away i started modding it to fit my taste.
Huge thanks to Justin Focus Imaging for the amazing pics and video.
tell me what you guys think about the video.

Gotta say the wheels aren't doing anything for me but overall that is a great looking ride! Bet it feels unbelievably slow compared to what you had done in your vette though

The video work is awesome.
The car, well, I hope you like it. Does it come with hidden compartments to hide your stuff from the police too?

Nice video and car...I would have went with a solid matte black color for the wheels and no rivets but that's just my taste...good job

i have been talking with ZZPerformance they have developed a line of products far surpassing what pfadt was doing with these cars. expect mine to be close to 600hp soon.

If GM had a separate dealership for Corvettes and Cadillac they might be better in their service department. They handle too many brands and cannot afford to deliver the service experience of the Infiniti and Lexus. I am not much of a German car type ether.
But dollar for dollar like the Corvette if you are looking for a high performance sedan the Caddy is hard to beat. GM can make affordable cars that can compete with a lot more premium brands in performance
Best of luck with it.

Wow 600 HP ......Good luck with it. I am not so much a GM guy. I like their Vette. For luxury four door, I prefer the Infinti and Lexus..HOWEVER I am not performance oriented in that world.

they do have completely seperte dealers and service departments. cadillac actually just got seperated from Gm to become its on company (like what dodge did with ram & viper) cadillac is trying to keep up with germans. when i need a oil change they coem pick up the car leave me a loaner (same or nicer then mine) the wash the car and return it when service is complete no charge.
im not one to ever get a boring car. i really liked the idea of 4 doors and only 300lbs heavier than a vette yet i can mod it to have vette level or above power. pfadt was doing some really cool stuff with these , thats what turned me on to the platform. i went and test drove one came home and immediately put the vette up for sale.

I learned something new everyday. I never saw the Caddy as a performance car but it sure can compete with the AMGs of the world. Good on GM not to make the Cadillac another glorified Buick.
Best of Luck with the car. Enjoy.

Great that you have a separate dealership for the premium cars. Here they sell work trucks Sparks with Caddys and Vettes, It was a mess when I needed service. But I found a small town dealer who had a few C6s in the bay who was $26 an hour less than the two major Chevy Caddy dealers.

the ATS was designed and built to take on the M3 & ISF its certainly geared towards performance. The Cadillac race team is actually going to stop using the CTS-V and use a ATS as their road race platform.
