440HP? hmmm... sounds abit high after the 1000's of posts on various forums about over 400 being too tough on the standard northstar internals.

Comments?

If the internals ar forged then there will be no problem. I bet she goes for $62k or higher. Too bad GM prices Caddi's out of the market!

The northstar can support a large amount of power if setup right. The new ones have a forged steel crank.

440 - 450 hp is a 50% increase... I don't think the crank was the issue: more like connecting rods. I hope it happens, just can't remember reading a rating as high as 440hp anywhere else.

A "regular" Seville is in the 60s........the STS-V will be well into the 70s.

There is no such thing as a Seville anymore. You mean the regular STS is in the 60's. They start at around $45k.

This thread is over on the STS side of things on this board. Yes it is 440hp. For more pics and info go to:

Thanks Dad.

Maybe your father SHOULD have taught you something about cars. Grow up.

Oh no! Someone said Seville!!!! Next thing you know someone will say....................Catera!

Give me a break. Whether Cadillac breaks ties with words for their cars or letters, everyone knows the S means Seville, the C means Catera and the D means DeVille. So what? I think someone is just a little touchy.

Damn you! Images of the duck return... :want:

Lighten up guys

Wow. I never realized that, actually. I mean, there was a Seville LS and a Seville STS offered at the same time, wasn't there? It never occurred to me that I have a Caddy that zigs!! :bouncy:

Yes there was. The "LS" was for luxury sedan, and the "TS" (firmer set-up and more power) is for touring sedan. The Eldorado had the same nomenclature for it's hot rod version, the ETC (touring coupe). The "LR" in the XLR name stands for luxury roadster.

For those CTS owners who want to separate themselves from the dreaded "Catera" name.........if anyone asks, just tell them CTS stands for Cadillac Touring Sedan. Works like a charm!

The Catera and the CTS have a lot more in common than the Seville and the STS. The Catera was rear wheel drive, and for some time shared the same engine and transmission with the CTS.

The Seville and the STS really have nothing to do with each other. Even the Northstar engine has been completely reworked. The STS is as all new as they come.

I loved the Seville and even owned 2 STS's and 1 SLS. Wonderful cars. However, the STS is definately not a Seville. Very, Very different character.

Bowen, since you've got all the letters figured and and what they stand for; care to enlighten us on what SRX means?

No idea. If I had known, I would have listed it, smart ass.

Bowen, I've never quoted myself before. In this case, it seems very appropriate.

Huh? That's funny since a few years back I almost bought a '94 Cadillac STS. Look, it seems everybody, according to focus groups, likes groups of letters and/or numbers for their upscale marques.

Cadillac has had no continuity or idea what to name their cars until the past couple of years. While they promoted their FWD STS years ago and gave the SLS monikers to the softer version, they had a DeVille, Eldorado and a Catera. Just over the past few years they started playing games with the DeVille calling it the DTS, DLS and the same goes with the Eldorado.

The universe which calls itself the STS isn't all-new. Some guys are rolling around in 1st year, early 90's pushrod powered STSs. '05 has a newly designed STS. Finally what an STS should be. Too bad they took over a decade to get it right.

care to enlighten us on what SRX means?

GM is finally pricing Caddy into the market. They're "luxury" cars. To compete in such a status-conscious segment you can't sell bargain cars. The gap will eventually be filled by Buick, don't worry.
