We can talk all we want about Nurburgring lap times, competition from Germany, and performance for the dollar…

However, for many, the real reason you love the CTS-V Coupe if for its ability to do this:

It’s great to see Cadillac getting its groove back.

Starting with the upcoming season, Cadillac will return to the SCCA World Challenge series with a race-prepped version of the CTS-V Coupe. As you may recall, Cadillac’s last entry in the series was a version of the first generation CTS-V sedan.

Video below from GM about the logic to return.

And the press release below.

We all know that one of the major differences between the LSA in the CTS-V and the LS9 in the ZR-1 is the larger capacity blower bolted to the mega-Vette.

What would happen if you reverse engineered the ZR-1’s blower onto the CTS-V’s engine?

How about an additional 130hp.

Fastlaneturbo.com did exactly this and you can watch their dyno run below.

Enjoy.

GM and OnStar debuted some months ago a smart phone app that would allow you to control features of the new Chevy Volt (including when it begins charging, activating the climate control remotely, etc).

Today, they announced that the same technology would be made available on 2011 GM vehicles across all 4 divisions. The app, initially available for iPhone and Android devices, will be tailored to the needs of each brand’s customers.

The app will allow you to start your vehicle, activate the horn/lights, as well as lock/unlock – allowing you to now do this beyond the range of your key fob.

Also provided is access to a myriad of stats on your vehicle ranging from VIN, odometer reading, fuel level, oil life remaining, tire pressures, and fuel economy statistics. You also will have one-touch access to an OnStar advisor from your phone.

For the security minded, you will need a userid, password, and PIN before being allowed to perform any remote vehicle functions – a nice addition to your piece of mind for a technology that might sound like a great way to steal an OnStar equipped vehicle.

This is a welcome expansion of OnStar’s offerings and should make for a nice perk for smart phone users. The apps will roll out soon for each brand.

Check out this video explanation of the service and app below:

Now the press release:

Despite every indication that Cadillac will be lucky to sell a few dozen of these a month – they have decided to help promote the upcoming CTS-V Sport Wagon with this walk around with their head designer.

That said, this is the one of the most balls-y moves Cadillac could make – putting this package on the wagon.

If it weren’t for the coupe, this is the V I’d most lust after.

Enjoy.

Hennessey, maker of higher performing versions of just about any car of note, has just shown off the V700 package for the CTS-V.

Those of you familiar with Hennessey naming likely already know that this car is putting out at least 700hp (707 @ 6300 to be exact) with 701 lb*ft of twist.

With this much power, it should be no surprise that they are claiming 3.3 second 0-60 times with a top speed of 211 mph.

Note: Hennessey also offers V600, V650, and V800 packages for the CTS-V.

Below, you’ll find their video showing their take on the V doing its thing:
