I'm curious what exactly blueprinting an intercooler could entail. Care to explain?

Nice car. Now get your pops on the track so he can silence all the "old man" Caddy stereotypes :icon38:

Hot damn. Is he looking to adopt?

@guitman32
example...
Blueprinting means re-machining each engine component to the precise measurements as indicated on factory blueprints. In other words, as it should have been made!

Sexy car! Too bad the stock interior sucks monkey balls.

sounds amazing

its kinda boxy though

yea Boxxy

sounds amazing...I'v always liked this car...

luxury muscle

nice car ;) i´m really lookin´ forward to take it out for a quick spin with you :)

this is based on c6 chassis? looks meh. prob beast war power tho.

i have a cTSV, the cadillac V series is teh win. never liked the fact the XLR isnt available in a stick, but i LOVE its looks and love the hard top vert. plus a D3 tuning, damn.

Nice car, but LOL at putting a watch in your signature on a Z forum. :icon17:

pretty sweet

Eh, not my taste. Car looks too boxy in comparing to other competitors.

boxxy ftw. id smash

hot ride. Not sure if the car would age well though, the designs are so radical.

dad like box butts, and he can't lie...

Pretty sweet for a caddy. I like loud caddies, ;D.

Those are freaking ugly and so lame looking. But that thing does have some serious power. Cool dad btw
