Hello,
We had a chance to check out the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V here in Detroit. The vehicle looks great in person. We have attached a few images from the show. They also have a cut away of the new motor. There are quite a few things that are of interest when viewing.
Recaro seats are NOT standard, they are an option. As far as the pistons, we have a meeting with GM tomorrow and we'll keep everyone updated on the results. Thank you.
I'm trying not to have covetous and lustful thoughts about the '09V for fear my trouble-free '04V, hibernating in the garage, will read my thoughts and . . . . :hide:
To those that have seen it in person - how does that steering wheel look / feel?
I wonder if it would be possible to replace that fake-suede microfiber on the steering wheel with good old hard leather. The more pictures I see, the more that steering wheel looks like it's screaming for fuzzy dice.
Its actually really nice! Feels great and offers positive grip. Typically micro suede gets moist, but they seem to have figured something out for that. Again very nice in person!
They remind me of the same quality as the "H" spoke wheels on the Viper, great looking up until you get within 5 feet to see some of the cloudiness of the polishwork. Lots of BRIGHT lighting revealed this though. Overall, many people have a problem with them , I personally think they are great. The new front cailpers look KILLER! :yup: In my opinion it would be cool to see a set of these in BLACK CHROME. Black wheels scream that "just got off the racetrack" look, and the chrome would compliment Cadillac's motif.
As I stated before, I don't care for the wheels. Somewhere between the Shelby and SS Camaro wheels. Easy fix though. Finally saw the picture that I was looking for..........rear differential. Is it camouflaged somehow? Can't seem to make it out in the picture.
I don't see it either. I saw the video of their driving the thing out onto the turntable, but could they have taken it out? I see two patches of something on the rear part of the exhaust; could this be where it is supposed to be?
I love my black on black '05, but will almost certainly be selling or trading it to get one of these bad boys!
For what it's worth: I love the Suede wheel.
The new diff seems to have a rear, center mounted large "knuckle" supporting it. It appears to be similar to the new CTS4 style. I would think that someone on this forum has help on this.:noidea:
