Performance figures for the CTS-V make interesting reading, with 60mph being dispatched in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 191mph for the manual car (175mph for the automatic).

The hot Caddy uses a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 delivering 556bhp, stops using massive Brembo brakes and has an advanced Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) suspension system controlled by electromagnets. CAR’s Georg Kacher was blown away by the CTS-V when he reviewed it for CAR Online. Click here for his first drive.

What is the minimum octane rating I should put in my '04 Cadillac CTS-V?

I just got a CTS-V, I know it takes premium, but how premium, does anyone have octane estimates?

does it HAVE to have premium? its so expensive


91 premium octane....The engine has to burn that octane due to the fact that lower octane you will lose power and the engine can't burn it efficently....It's designed to run on minimum 91. if you use 89 it will not power up as fast and shake. 87 even worse power lose and worse shaking. 91 is more easy to burn it's got a lower flash point than other octanes.

how much is the cadillac cts-V and is the audi s5 better?

what is a better car the audi s5 or the caddilac cts-v? Which would you prefer? How much does eacch one cost. And i mean fully loaded cars.


The basic CTS runs about $41K. Consumer Reports lists nearly every Audi as a car to avoid.

Look at Infiniti or Lexus models if you want something in the $35K to $65K range that will turn heads and last a long time.
