Took my CTS Vsport autocrossing this weekend. Came in 1st in stock class. Pretty happy considering the biggest car there beat a S2000, FRS, etc.
First run, first corner, kicked the ass end out and lit up the rear tires. Definitely got a reaction out of the crowd. My friends has their 2013 ATS 3.6L and 2015 ATS 2.0T there too. The '15 was classed incorrectly and didn't show up in the stock group. He ended up with a 45.3.
Great day overall, and definitely got a bunch of people to open their eyes to what Cadillac has become.
SS = - Super Stock
AS = A-Stock
BS = B-Stock
and so on.
The better the car rated for autocross, the closer to A it is. In the CTS' case it's a big car compared to the rest so it's rated F-Stock.
PAX is a number you multiply the RAW time by. It attempts to even out the field so you get a true indicator on driver performance. I say "attempts" because the number that you're multiplying is based off of class, so in this case a Hyundai Genesis and me have the same multiplier. Realistically, they're 2 different animals at autocross.
I always love it when the sedans whoop up on the two-seaters.
I may have to scrub the rust off my butt and run my Vsport in a local autocross or two this summer. Can I assume you were running the stock P Zero run-flats?

They don't run a Street Tire / R-comp class anymore since so many tire manufacturers just put a treadwear rating on the r-comps and call it a street tire.
This was not the novice group, they had their own class where vehicles were all in the same group.
None of the cars in stock class were running r-comps.

Manual mode in 2nd. Hit 3rd just before the finish. It wouldn't let me go into 1st even while I was on the brakes. I know my rpms were low enough so I was a little annoyed at that.
Love it. The Opulent Blue makes the car look better than it really is IMO. I have 3 generations of CTS and IMO the 3rd gen is the least attractive as it's very toned down, but the blue really helps make it pop out at you.
Just curious if people on the forum feel the same way, I rarely see another V-Sport on the road, its often the "regular" CTS 3.6 I see. I live in Las Vegas it is not a big city but def not a small one, if I can hear some thoughts on this that would be great!
New owner of a 2014 V sport. Some questions.
-Do I need to worry about turbo cooldown? I used to own a few turbo cars and I had turbo timers on them. Is this an issue with the new cars? I am not usually racing full throttle to my destination and then hopping out. I just want to make sure I am...
Super excited to be the new owner of a CTS V-Sport. This car is so much fun to drive. Still trying to figure out how to use some of the gadgets. Can anyone provide information or a link on how to set up the garage door opener? Thanks in advance.
Hi, this might seem like a silly question, but how do I make my exhaust crack and pop? I was driving yesterday in sports model and as I was breaking I was able to drop the gear to 1st and the exhaust cracked and popped like popcorn.. lol.. I was wondering if there was a way to have the exhaust...
Anybody remember the V-Sport which tried to kill me back in August? https://www.cadillacforums.com/threads/my-v-sport-tried-to-kill-me-yesterday-what-to-do.1088106/
Well, after the FOUR MONTHS during which my V-Sport has been sitting in the back lots, my dealer finally gets a new differential...
