    Talking Murdered out WIDEBODY CTS-V

    Another project I thought I would share with you folks

    This one is Martin's ( owner of AMS) personal toy which he has been working on over the course of the winter. We finally had a chance to slap it on the dyno and see what it would make. Here are the specs:

    Martin's 2005 Cadilac CTS-V

    Engine/Drivetrain:
    • Katech 427 LS2 stroker motor with 11:1 compression, forged pistons, rods & crank
    • ARP Head bolts
    • Joey Mendelis custom CNC heads with high RPM valvetrain
    • FAST 90mm Intake manifold
    • Ported LS2 Throttle Body
    • Bauer Racing engines custom cam
    • Kooks headers
    • B&B 3” exhaust
    • HP Tuners tuned by AMS
    • ACT Twin disc clutch

    Suspension/Brakes
    • Sachs T2 spec dampers
    • Ground Control Coil-over conversion
    • Hawk HP+ brake pads front and rear
    • GM racing front control arms
    • BMR toe rods
    • BMR trailing arms
    • BMR Pinion support brace
    • UUC Shifter with custom delrin shift knob.

    Exterior/wheels
    • Spectre werkes carbon fiber hood
    • Spectre werkes wide-body fender flares
    • CCW wheels anodized black, 18x10.5 rear 18x9.5 front
    • All chrome trim blacked ( aka murdered out)


    The dyno video is up on out homepage here:

    While I like the car and would drive the piss out of it, I've got to be honest. I think it would look better without the "widebody." I normally think widebody cars look really good. But those fender flares (particularly the front ones) just look really out of place on that car. They're so big it makes the wheels look tiny. Just my $.02

    I love CTS-Vs, but this one falls a little short. With a wide body kit I would expect a sick wheel/tire combo. And I can't call anything murdered out when the they are fish bowlin' with that tint.

    I was hoping it would've looked like the CTS-V from the LeMans series (speed world car challenge).
