Just to clarify. I've ridden in a CTS. It seems like a really nice car and a step in the direction that Caddy has LONG needed to take. I LOVE the V edition! A lot has changed since '02. The Maxima is no longer available with a stick (only with a craptacular CVT no less) and a Cadillac of all things is...with a beautiful 558hp V8 no less. I would've laughed if you would have told me this would happen back in '02!
Lol @ the ridiculousness the direction these comments have taken. Where the CTS was introduced or even why I couldn't care less. This was a nice quarter mile run in a (now) 8 year old car. I currently own an '02 Maxima. Previously I had a '92. You better believe both are sticks. I bought the '02 used with 55k miles. Right now there are 95k miles on it. In that time a power window motor broke. That is it...nothing else. Any guesses on what parts a GM car would have broken in that time?
You made me LOL when I read your first two sentences and what you said about GM is true. I'm trying very hard to get a Max by June so I can go to Maxus and best believe my good sire it will be a stick. I want a 5th gen but a 4th gen sure as hell aint bad, preferably a 99.
Not sure how the CTS made it's way here on the comment boards but I'd hardly consider a CTS over a Maxima. Maximas are just one of those cult classics that have all the potential in the world, it fits in well in the tuner world as well as a solid family car. Whiles the Max will find itself everywhere the CTS will be on the back of a tow truck. Nuff said.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Performance, handling, interior design, exterior design, technology. The list goes on. I'm sure you know that the CTS is Motortrends 2008 COTY and its on C&D 10 Best list for '08 and '09
Is that so? all the plastic that gets recycled ends up at GM plants because that is what their cars are made of. Interesting enough the cadillac is $42,000 and the maxima is $32,000 and it will still have better resale value than the caddy. an 08-09 G37 sedan is about $38-39k and it will spank the cts all day long in all performance measures.
Dude, motortrend has the ford thunderbird as coty for 2002. One of the worst cars ever made. Motortrend takes a bunch of cars and tests them out and give us they're OPINION! Keep that caddy for a little while and see how it fares after a few thousand miles. And plus, like Captain slow from top gear said, you would think american car manufactures would give a car 4 wheel independent wheel suspension, after all, they have 4 wheels. American cars are garbage! Recycled trash!
@Bimbodeoro all you faggots do on youtube is argue about cars. this proves youre all 7th grade faggots who have no friends in real life. at the car meets i go to we all respect eachothers car n we dont talk shit about them, maybe we joke sometimes, but you guys are fuckin fags
pleas dnt be proud of owning the previous generation cts with its rubber-maid interior materials lol according to the brits... cts style is ok but interior sucks compared to others. cant b in a cts. ever sat in one? small...
Sounds amazing btw. Sorry for cluttering your video w/ al lthe comments below! I want the 3" cat-back so badly. Fish some people in to make backorders k? Heh.
lol who compares a cts to a maxima. Maxima whoops cts all day just look at the specs guys maxima has legendary engine mated with a 6 speed manual, which is a killer combination!
a ZR1 vs a GTR lets see...over 600hp in a car that i think the body is fiberglass vs a 5300lbs 480hp car with a backseat thats beaten a number of supercars. i see it now, corvette had to put a big 'ole V8 and S/C it to keep up with the competition. now i wonder what would happen if toyota was to bring back the 2JZ, or honda made a vtec V8 twin turbo motor, or nissan made a V8 with VTC S/C, corvette would be crying foul.
dawg your car sound nice, like a VQ that got woken out of bed and now its pissed off...do you have any oil burning issues?. i have a98 and i'm doing to vq35 swap, some people say those motors are known for burning oil.
Ok keep hating you raciest piece of shit. American cars may be fast in a straight line but what happens when a turn comes i think that slipped their minds when they were designing those boxy pieces of shit which break down every 20,000 miles. Dodge is about to go under and has asked Nissan to design their truck engines, ouch!! GM has been under because they are dumb. Left is ford which have closed many dealerships so whats left?
Why would Dodge ask Nissan to design truck engines if they're going under? You fucking idiot, I almost feel sorry for you. Renault/Nissan was looking at a possible merger with Chrysler and if it went through NISSAN wanted to use the RAM PLATFORM because they don't have a decent one of their own. In turn, Chrysler would've gotten rights to use small/compact vehicles. You fucking idiot lmao. Also If I recall correctly the Nissan GTR got its ass handed to it on a track by the ZR1 :)
lemme guess ur still in high school drive a dodge neon and think you know cars from playin xbox...prolly got spanked by a max an now u cant resist watchin the VQ in action ha...get a life
Oh look who it is. Why did you remove your earlier comment? The one that asked me "What do you drive?"...and then you browse my vids and you find out. Congratulations, dickhead. I race Maximas on my bicycle and win...lol...
And I would say you're probably 15-16 years old anyhow...do you even have a drivers license?
I'm guessing you're either a nigger or a mexican. I'll tell you what.I have a drivers license (unlike you), I work for what I own (Cadillac CTS), and what I drive is far better than whatever your first car will be (hint: before you go around talking shit you should probably get a license of your own).
COOL you drive your grandmas cts..lol have fun goin to the service center every other month with your POS...not wasting any more of my life arguring with some fool..how come canadians cant build theyre own cars?
Which is a far cry from anyone who would want to help you. Do us a favor and drive yoru piece of shit off a clif. Then unbuckle your seat belt and rest your head against the windshield in decent. Do bother letting us know if you survived.
The fact that you even try to compare the two is bewildering. Let's see....a FWD sedan compared to a RWD Nurburgring tuned suspension on one of the best platforms there is. I think you're fucked up.
Do us all a favor and shut your stupid ignorant ass up man. CTS are pieces of GM shit. I've driven one and they are worthless. Ignorant rich dumbshits and tools drive them. Cadillacs are for those who want others to know they have money and don't know how to spend it. A 02 Maxima SE will spank any CTS on the road stock for stock, no argument there. And I'm sorry, but telling the world that my vehicle is produced where the "DODGE CARAVAN" is manufactured is not bragging rights. Ass. STFU.
Pieces of shit that win numerous awards for quality and resale value? An 02' Maxima will spank any CTS? Are you sure? What about CTS-V. I've beaten Maximas in my Dodge Caravan, so shut the fuck up about that.
Yes, I'm positive. I can not believe you're comparing resale value AND quality to a Maxima? You're kidding me right? Let me know when the CTS's engine makes it on Wards 6 times. The fact that you own a Dodge Caravan is enough to rid of any intelligence you possess with cars. And the conjunction of "you" and "are" is "you're"
Any intelligence I possess with cars? The CTS debuted in 2003 so how the fuck did you find data for a 2002 CTS? Is that all made up? I know how you found those numbers; you searched CTS 0-60 on google and then picked the slowest out of the bunch and then picked the fastest time you could find for a Maxima. Congratulations. Also it may interest you to know that the GM HF v6 in the CTS is currently on Ward's list and Nissan's VQ was DROPPED. Tisk Tisk.
Haha, I don't care. 2003-2009, you won't find a sub 6.3 second 0-60. But that isn't important. Please don't dive into Ward's list until the CTS's engine is featured on it 14 times k? I'd like to see the CTS name stick around for that long. Ward's list is pretty shitty this year, figures GM would make it on there. And those aren't the fastest times for the maxima. Stop backing a company who's only staying alive because old retired rich people don't know what else to buy...
I can find plenty of sub 6.3 second 0-60 times but you can't because you don't like the car which is fine. I don't care what your preference is toward cars but when you misrepresent a car because you don't know what you're talking about it becomes my business. So if Ward's list is pretty shitty why the fuck isn't Nissan's engine on it? Let me know.
yes, but they have the same displacement tractors have. Shitty cars made my shitty manufacturers. 6.1 Liters and all you can muster out is 420 hp. What a joke!!!
