HUGE missed opportunity.

Cadillac and Corvette going their own way. Should be fun. I'll always take a Porsche over anything else. But, I'd take this ATS-V over any other brand. Cadillac have finally caught and surpassed the German's at their own game. Now Cadillac just has to work on that interior. :>)

do you still have your ATS-V? if ye then hows the cost of maintenance so far? is it a problematic car?

I got my eye out for a good used one.

@@mikeriv60 i did too, but is it really worth it?compared to other rivals? I kinda dont think so

I wouldn't let that that crook hennessy touch a golf cart let alone hand a car over to him.

DC Steve damn. Is he that bad.

absolutely that bad. He has a long history of being shady gong back to the early to mid 2000s where he screwed over a bunch of Viper owners, basically stripping their cars and then declaring his own business bankrupt. Since then he's found another way to hose people with his "tuner school" and so on, even fleecing people of their GI bill. Just do a quick google search on that, or you can also google "hennescrewed" and pull up things like his troll posts on C300 forums, etc. Yeah I wouldn't trust him for a minute, particularly when you have some seriously solid guys working on the ATS-V platform.

@@dcsteve7869 I just watched a documentary on him and how he screwed people over.

Yep, and at least you can get this car with a manual. A really good TR-6060 manual, too.

This car with a manual is tits on glass. Zero regrets.

@@vernonprice5986 Tremec? Oh shit.... I really like the feel of Tremec transmissions.

Cadillac Vector blue...there's a super clean one at a dealer in Florida if your are near there.

yes we are good sir!

Lotta mad people here.

no ats v twin turbo v6 and camaro is na v6 same as regular ats

Yes, it is...but it's fortified for turbo duty. So no it's not EXACTLY the same, but similar to the 2JZGTE vs 2JZGE but even more done to the turbo model to live long and prosper under boost. If you really want a mind f**k, it's the same engine that's in our family whip - Buick Enclave - as well. 🤪

@@JViello I know we have a GMC acadia and be looking at it hmmm do you want some boost 😅🤣

You mean MHI, just like BMW

We custom make them

These are not Ebay cheap china wheels. We make these here in Ca.

​@Jrenick8989 Hello from B.C Do you have a web site I can view interested in purchasing a few items Thank you, Fred

Yes

Cadillac is restructuring their lineup; most models are being replaced. But I agree with the spirit of your comment.

YungKZfaqGod Cool

+yukikevo - A GT-R costs $110k, an ATS-V costs $61k. Nice comparison, brah. Tell you what, we'll put an extra $50k in mods into the ATS-V and THEN you can call it even. Sound good?

Still tho when I bought my ats v I paid 85k but still a lot less than the gtr

Vernon Price And what exactly are you going to do with $50k extra in an ATS-V? Also, you can buy clean, low mileage, used GTR’s for $50k these days.

+yukikevo - "And what exactly are you going to do with $50k extra in an ATS-V?" What the fuck kind of question is that? Are you trying to somehow downplay the FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR DIFFERENCE? Because that just makes you look stupid. "Also, you can buy clean, low mileage, used GTR’s for $50k these days." And now you've resorted to comparing new to used, which is what happens when you can't make a decent argument to save your life.

Vernon Price lol

You could also argue that most people would rather have the $340,000 in their pocket that they saved by buying an ATS-V instead of an Aventador. I'd rather have the Aventador too, but comparing them directly to each other is false equivalency. The fact is that the ATS-V handles REALLY well - it's probably the best 4 door chassis on the planet (yes I know the one in this video is a coupe, same platform) and with 600 HP it really is not giving up very much to an aventador in terms of outright performance. Is it an Aventador? Obviously not. But is it ~5x cheaper than an Aventador? Sure is.

Vernon Price the same concept applies for every single car on the planet. For example a 2000GT from a performance aspect is not worth the equivalent of 1 million USD however their are people willing to spend the money to own one. An ATS-V another example you could buy an older CT-V and modify it to completely out perform this ATS-V for the price tested on this one. It is a completely ignorant concept that people push into the faces of those who can actually afford these higher end cars. Most people who own higher end exotics couldn’t care less about a cheaper car being modified that can go toe to toe with their current car. An R35 GTR owner isn’t going to care that someone out there has a 800whp 2JZGTE swapped IS300 or S-chassis that can destroy their car and the whole package being a lot cheaper than what they spent. I own a R34 GT-R and a A80 Supra RZ there are plenty of cheaper cars out there that are faster however that means zero to me.

+STF JZA80 - "you could buy an older CT-V and modify it to completely out perform this ATS-V for the price tested on this one. " But your argument was an Aventador, which costs $400,000. That is not AT ALL the same thing as comparing an ATS-V to a CTS-V. You said you would rather have an Aventador than an ATS-V. That is a false equivalency argument, mostly because of the $340,000 price difference. "Most people who own higher end exotics couldn’t care less about a cheaper car being modified" That is a straw man argument, because you don't speak for every person on the planet that owns an exotic. "An R35 GTR owner isn’t going to care that someone out there has" Blah blah more straw man arguments, but the thing is GT-R owners really, REALLY care when they get beaten by something like an ATS-V or any car that is considered "inferior". GT-R fanboys are known far and wide for generally being idiots and buying into the whole "godzilla" bullshit. Maybe YOU don't care, but then you would be the exception and not the rule. That's not even the point though, the FACT is that a 600 HP ATS-V is going to trash a GT-R. That's just a fact. No arguments. It's not a brag, it's a simple fact. And it seems like GT-R fanboys are the ones getting their panties wadded up about it.

best 4 door chassis on the planet? really? with cars like the Giulia and the F90 M5 around, really? how do you back up those claims?

+justin jia - "best 4 door chassis on the planet? really? with cars like the Giulia and the F90 M5 around, really? how do you back up those claims?" Have you not been paying attention to any review of the ATS-V? No, of course you haven't, and that's why you're confused. You might want to start doing some research on that. "Most impressive, however, is the ATS-V’s chassis. “Outstanding world-class chassis,” Lieberman notes. “It might be one of the best handling sedans in the world.” www.motortrend.com/news/2016-mercedes-amg-c63-s-and-cadillac-ats-v-go-head-2-head/ Reviewers prefer the ATS-V's chassis and handling to the M3 in every comparison. You're not allowed to be skeptical about it if you have not done the required research.

JP what car do you have

I feel like the Caddy guy is making stuff up at various points in the video. The ATS-V is just over 3700 pounds stock. A loaded 991 Turbo S is just over 3500 with no carbon. A std 991 C2 is just over 3250. The Carrera T is closer to 3100. My '99 996 convertible 6-speed is 3041 with 1/4 tank of gas. Be real bro. Caddy has been great about shaving weight, but be real.

"Also the ATS-V weighs roughly the same as a GTR" It weighs a couple hundred lbs less than a GT-R, at minimum. "I reaaally doubt you can run that overweight Civic all day in the desert without experiencing ANY brake fade or heating issues." And you say that because you've tried it? Or are you just making up bullshit because your feelings are hurt? Also,you forgot to mention cost, genius. A GT-R costs $110k, an ATS-V is $60k. Not sure why you're trying to make an equivalency argument that doesn't take the $50k price difference into account but it sure doesn't make you look any smarter.

ATSV coupe curb weight: 3760 lb - MotorTrend 2017 GT-R Premium curb weight: 3933 lb couple hundred pounds less at minimum my ass, the difference isn't even 200lb at most. smh. trying to sound cocky and cool on the internet is great and all, but numbers tend to speak for themselves.

He's not, and James Renick is one of the most capable and respected aftermarket product developers for Cadillac.
