YOU BUILD THIS SLEEPER?
Transcript
Everyone talks about the CTS V, but the real hidden gem is this lighter, cheaper, and way more tunable beast. The foundation is the 2014 to 2019 Cadillac CTS V Sport. Since everyone's obsessed with the supercharged CTS V, these twin turbo v six models have dropped in value big time. You can pick one up clean for under tier, and under the hood sits a 3.6 liter twin turbo v six pushing 420 horsepower stock. Now here's where it gets fun. Add a performance intake to let those turbos breathe. Upgrade the downpipes to help the exhaust flow. Drop in a larger intercooler to keep temps down, and finish it all off with a proper tune. The result? Over 500 horsepower and torque numbers that rival the more expensive CTS V, all while being lighter, cheaper, and way more reliable to daily. This thing pulls, sounds mean with downpipes, and flies under the radar since everyone assumes it's just a slow Cadillac. So would you build this sleeper?
