I have a Black CTS-V that should be on my lot before the 1st of March that is available for sale. The selling price is MSRP of $49995.00.

DETROIT, MI, Sept. 17, 2003 - Cadillac today announced pricing for its all-new 2004 CTS-V high-performance luxury sedan. The CTS-V will arrive in dealerships beginning in January priced at $49,995, including destination and delivery.

CTS-V is the first in the new V-Series line of Cadillac luxury performance vehicles and features a 400 horsepower 5.7-liter V8, six-speed manual transmission, large Brembo performance brakes at all four corners, 18-inch wheels and tires, retuned shock absorbers and a host of interior and exterior styling refinements.

Like the original CTS, CTS-V was refined and validated at Germany's famed Nurburgring to meet the expectations of the world's most avid driving enthusiasts.

"V-Series will take Cadillac's performance credibility to an entirely new level," said Jay Spenchian, Cadillac V-Series marketing director. "As the first in a series of high-performance luxury vehicles, CTS-V proves we are serious about winning over a new generation of luxury performance car enthusiasts."

2004 Cadillac CTS-V standard features:

Four-door, rear-wheel drive

5.7-liter overhead valve LS6 V8 with 400 horsepower and 395 lbs.-ft torque

0-60 in 4.6 seconds

Tremec T56 Manual Six-Speed Transmission

Goodyear Eagle F1 245/45 run-flat tires and 18 by 8.5-inch wheels

Large four-piston Brembo brakes with vented rotors

Performance-tuned shocks, springs and stabilizer bars

Near 50/50 weight distribution

Dual chrome oval exhaust tips

Distinctive V-Series badging

Stabilitrak with four driver-selected modes of operation, including a mode for better track performance

Stainless steel mesh grilles, both below and above the bumper provide a unique front appearance and permits free air-flow into the engine compartment

All-new aero rocker design that flows into a new, specific rear fascia

Tower-to-tower cross car brace has been installed for improved steering response and linearity under high-performance conditions

To help reduce under-hood noise, a unique nylon cover, which features the Cadillac wreath and crest and V-Series logo, is fitted over the top of the engine

Driver and passenger seats include adjustable lumbar and suede insert material to help maintain driver position in lateral maneuvers

Center armrest has been lowered significantly for easier shifting

All-new instrument cluster featuring performance-oriented displays
All engineering work for the CTS-V was performed by the GM Performance Division, an in-house center designed to explore potential enthusiast-oriented versions of production models.

CTS-V will be produced at GM's Lansing Grand River assembly center, the award-winning manufacturing site for the CTS, SRX luxury utility and future STS luxury sedan.:)

I thought this was a C5 CORVETTES FOR SALE forum...!!???

The CTS-V has the Z06 LS6 eng. and trannie in it. It is a world class sports sedan with 0 to 60 times of 4.6 sec. It would make a great familey car for any Corvette person.:)

I just wanted to tell everyone that I picked up my CTS V today from Rick. What an awsome car. Power, ride, speed, a four door corvette. This car is a blast to drive, and it is a real head turner. I would like to thank Rick and all the people at Les Standford Cadillac for a great buying experience. Anyone looking for a new car needs to see Rick, he is a man of his word. :party:

Congrats! I tried to call Rick today but he was busy delivering your car! I'm hopefully joining the ranks of new Vette owners on Monday when I see him! :hurray:

Congrats on the new purchase!
CTS-V owners have been reporting significant wheel hop on the CTS-V forum.
http://cadillacforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1

I assume this is under hard acceleration.
Could possible be when wheel spin occurs.
Have you experienced this?
I would really appreciated if you could post your "review" of the car and your ongoing experience with the "V" here like some of the other owners are doing on the CTS-V forum.

Let us know when you get that beast sideways. =)

Rick,

I have no idea on that. They are only building approx. 3000 of them so I would not think any time soon.

I do have one more available for delivery this month.:)
