As a CTS-V owner myself glad to see one on the channel. The Gearbox needs a TCU tune really wakes up the transmission. For brakes I have DBA slotted two piece rotor with ss lines and different fluid with hawk race pad and car stops decently considering the weight.

That's my daily driver! The engine sound is unmistakable. It's a true dual personality car and awesome to drive. Tour mode is nice and relaxed. Flip it in a PTM mode, choose the setting with you desired level of freedom (the throttle mapping, mag suspension, chassis control, and eLSD), and it performs some magic on the track. Great driving! The brakes on mine are very dependant on the brake fluid. Stock brake fluid is going to get squishy and even vapor lock pretty easily. Switch to SRF and the stock steel brakes feel completely different

Love the fact that a CTS-V made it to the Nurburgring! You did great, love to see.more CTS ACTION.
Some game developer has to get this guy a game "Misha's Nurburgring Garage", and with permission of the owners have a select recreations featuring of some of these cars to "race around the track " and mod till full spec what we see here on the channel , ghost time trials, the track randomly populated with the cars and other vehicles you can come across on a lap, bike , vans , trucks buses etc. Yeah ok there are same types out there but kudos to all you car builders taking you machines for Misha to showcase round the track and huge kudos to Misha taking you all safely along for the ride . ( i don't know how license would work etc for the Nurburgring and vehicle manufacturers)
Well THAT was different :-) The CTS-V did well considering, It IS a Caddy after all but respectable and with a bit of sorting quiet a nice track cruiser. I suspect there were a few WTF looks in rear view mirrors full of Caddy.
Is there any software upgrade for the automatic? Usually they can be made to shift pretty fast. An oilcooler and upgraded pads are nececassy. But apart from that it seems pretty solid. Definitely has the power.
Wow as much as this car is fast, The Golf 7.5R was really impressive he managed to stay behind you the entire way and pass you for a short while.
That Golf driver was NOT having it that day. Absolute mad lad.
szép darab gábor, gratulálok.
Wow. Surprised by “performance” of the car given its weight. The LT4 (CTSV Engine) is the same in the C7 Z06 which is notorious for heat soak issues. I dream of having a C7 Z06 one day, and hope a upgraded heat exchanger and coolant expansion may help. I really would love to see a lap with a C7 Z06 7MT, to see if the chassis is even capable of performance. Thanks Misha!!!

Im just impressed it didnt overheat. It was running warm on the oil, but for such a supercharged beast i think it was pretty reasonable 😅😅
Congrats to the Golf driver, nice follow up.
I was quite impressed how well that monster pig managed heat; the coolant temp recovered quite nicely after Brünchen but if the guy wants to track this vehicle (guessing unlikely, although it’s nice to have guaranteed AC for “luxo-track mode” 😅) a second or larger oil cooler would be ‘de rigueur.’ Definitely wasn’t surprised that the tires and brakes suffered; Caddys aren’t known for their ‘added lightness.’ You’d almost have to run 335mm tires to handle the girth around the corners and in braking… Cheers, I’m counting down to the Giulia lap! 🖖😎👍
Very nice car ... awesome to see the "race" between the golf and the cadillac. I like the noise the cadillac makes. Very nice.
Temperatures cameras are awesome

I love the sound of the engine. Best part of the car. I thought it did pretty well, considering it's not a track car to begin with.
On Instagram you said horrible gearbox for track use, but I beg to differ. It's just not tuned for track use because it's in a Cadillac, the gearbox itself is a good gearbox, same as the one in the ZO6, they can shift fast and handle decent power, perhaps also the paddles are just slower to communicate here
The engine, a poem!
