Okay fellas, you have the king of the hill cars, but do you have the cool motor builder tag on your engines that us STSv guys have? If so, where is it located and who was your builder?
First one to find and post a pic will get a prize from CadillacForums.com

Sorry F, but the LSA isn't built by one person like the LC3 in the STS-V.
Hmm, I didn't know that about the STS-V.

The only tag on the new CTS-V engine that I see is the GM Performance Division tag at the front.

thats the GMPD sticker...the guy that actually built our motor puts a personalized sticker on the STSv motor.

that surprises me with the low volume of blown 6.2L motors....you sure about that? They arent made in Wixom?

^^^ Nope - I read somewhere that the blown v2 LSA's are built somewhere in Mexico. Not sure of the exact place in Mexico though ... ?

thats a drag.....

Ill just have to keep this prize hat then.

OH SNAP!!!! In the end it's still just a chevy motor? That's a damn shame.... Looks like we STS-V owners get to keep our tag line Most powerful CADILLAC ever produced.... :) :)
Built in MEXICO? Is that where Chevy engines (and apparently ours) are assembled nowadays? I had no idea, I assumed that they were built here. At least I helped keep the LGR assembly line workers on the job by purchasing a V......

trudat! Sux for the CTSv guys.

Yeah, you can even buy an LSA marine crate motor.

I suppose a builder plate is nice, but think of it this way: 556HP isn't even special enough to justify it now.

Here is the full spec .pdf on the marine engine if anyone is interested. I had no idea it existed until now...
