Transcript

You want Hellcat numbers without the crazy price tag, this is one of the most insane builds you can do, and it will absolutely destroy anything on the street. The foundation is the 2009 to 2015 Cadillac CTS V Sedan. Since these cars have fallen in value, you can pick up a clean one for under $25, which is insane for the amount of performance you get. Under the hood sits the legendary supercharged 6.2 liter Yes. Basically, a detuned Corvette z r one motor hiding in a luxury four good. Swap out the supercharger pulley to spin the blower faster and crank up the boost. Next, add a set of long tube headers to free up exhaust flow, then finish it all off with a proper tune to tie it together. The result you're looking at is a family sedan that has 700 horsepower on regular pump gas. That's Hellcat level numbers, but in a six speed manual Cadillac that weighs about the same as an m five. Basically, Corvette z r one power hidden in a family sedan with room for groceries. Basically, Corvette z r one power hidden in a family sedan with room for groceries. This better will rip tens in the quarter and gap pretty much anything you line up against, and it only takes a pulley, headers, and a tune. So would you build this monster?
