Story:
This is my 2nd Cadillac V-Series vehicle. The first V was a 2011 CTS-V twin turbo LSX 434 Coupe that produced 1,320whp that I owned until 2018. Purchased this 2018 1 of 65 built IMSA Championship sedan as a "new project" and with the current performance upgrades delivers 900whp. The car currently has 16K miles and is only driven to occasional car meet and cruises. Also compete once or twice per year in drag race and land speed 1/2 mile "airstrip" events. More details on my personal website at www.pdq-v.com including photos and videos. Love my new Wheel Craft OEM black chrome wheels. Also have a set of Weld Belmont wheels with rear bead locks for track events.
