2016 Cadillac CTS Vsport

The story

I ordered the car the day before having my second child. That’s how it got the DadLac name. I kept it stock for a bit but I was accumulating mods from day 1. I started with a tune only. These cars will not show any gains from bolt ons on a stock map because they use torque limits. After getting that done, I designed and patented a valves catback exhaust system. There were no exhaust upgrades available other than an axle back system that did nothing for power and only changed sound slightly. After proving that the system made a real world difference in power(shaved .2 seconds and added 1.4mph to the 1/4 mile E/T over the tune only setup), I slowly started adding more upgrades and chipping away at the 1/4 mile time. I went from 12.7@112mph completely stock to holding the stock turbo record for the platform at 11.22@122mph. With a few more small changes the goal is to be the first stock turbo V-Sport to break into the 10’s in the 1/4 mile. The car still retains the full factory interior with the addition of 2 baby seats. It is easily the fastest car at the school drop off.
