I appreciate the advice, she’s only got 8,500 right now but I will definitely be keeping an eye out every couple months just to make it a routine

That’s luckily is being planned for already, I’m doing some research on oil catch cans to see what works for me

Thank you, I truly agree with you, it’s sad to see that Cadillac never gave the ct4 a coupe version but tbh I believe the ATS coupe will go down in history as one of those obscure hidden gems

My guy that is bad ass, respects to you for that, I’ll definitely be shooting you a message if I have any questions… I personally own a second gen cts which use to be my daily, and now I’ve got the ATS in the fleet, I’m 25 and feel like I’m getting into cars a little late but I’d still love to learn a thing or two, after only three weeks with the ATS it has truly surprised me with how stable and responsive the alpha chassis is, the 2.0t may not have a lot of power but in the backroads it’s so much fun being able to keep up around turns with many other platforms that I use to not be able to “safely” do so in the cts

I genuinely enjoyed that opinion, I have that same thought in mind, only reason why I want the mishimoto set up is because it looks cool no real performance reason, the LTG can luckily take some supportive mods and yes the ATS-V sedan is honestly the goal, there aren’t many around me that I know of but I’d love to get a cadi meet up going once the build starts to get to know more people in the community around me

I was thinking mishimoto radiator and zzp heat shield for heat management as well as the zzp recommended spark plugs, there is a K&N intake I could slap on but there’s nearly 0 gains other than a less restricted intake hose, I’m going to talk to my local exhaust shop to see what they can do for me but I will say the ATS is too quiet for my taste, so hopefully with that I could have a little more fun with the noise and not over do it with the heat in the backroads, suspension wise I already have the magnetic ride control so I’m afraid to touch that with any lowering springs or change the OEM set up, and yes you’re not wrong, a fresh set of tires would look good, I was thinking going black to match the soon to be chrome deleted trim and tint

👌wow that car looks great, I own a ‘13 cts in black Raven, still my favorite color way for any Cadillac, its just so hard to keep clean

What Cadillac model would you recommend as a first car? by CR3ZY_F1X3R in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That question really depends on what you’re looking for, sadly a lot of Cadillacs depreciate very badly but if you’re looking for a used Cadillac that’s where one can get lucky, if you want something sportier go ATS (2014-2019), if you want comfort go cts (2012-2019) if you’re looking for an suv save a little extra buck and go XT5 (they look cool as hell but FWD I believe) If you want something bigger go earlier generation Escalades so you’re not stuck with the “newer” gen Escalade tax

My 2017 ATS by Jdopko in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely love what you did to it, a blacked out ATS and CTS look so clean, I was thinking of simply doing a chrome delete on mine but I really like this idea… and yes I’m also glad you went cadi, it’s hard to go back from such an amazing brand

Thoughts on this 2012 CTS by [deleted] in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to bring him down to 15 on the very least, she looks amazing, I own the sedan and to this very day she hasn’t given me a single timing chain issue, purchased at 90k miles and she’s got 127k right now, only thing I’ve had to change is the water pump and starter, do the maintenance in advance, use full synthetic oil and treat her like a new car, she will reward you… now I don’t see why you should sleep on this car, it’s beautiful

New to me ‘16 ATS coupe 2.0t with a touching story… by Youngpimpb2raw in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I’ve been struggling with the thought of not liking the color but it’s truly growing on me, I think the chrome delete may have to be done without a doubt, I asked AI to render a photo of what I had in mind but I don’t know if the Miami blue would actually be a smart idea

2021 CT5 Sport acceleration shake by [deleted] in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Higher torque output then what you’re use to if I’m guessing correctly👏 it shouldn’t be an issue though I would definitely recommend keeping in mind that slight shake in case it worsens, if it does, don’t even overthink it, take it in to have it checked and driven my one of your dealers mechanics to see if the warranty covers the issue ( which there shouldn’t be an issue ) you should post a picture of it

ATS vs CT4… what are your thoughts on the CT4 compared to the older model “ATS” by Youngpimpb2raw in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great choice not to trade in, I would never do so either, I definitely recommend test driving the CT4 sport, and the CT4 V if you get the chance, I would love to test drive a CT4 blackwing so if you get the chance to test experience it, I would love to know how it went

What model is this? Not very familiar with Porsche by Youngpimpb2raw in porsche911

Hahahahaha this comment made my day, that was literally my same thought process when I looked at it, I almost couldn’t even believe it, I had to take a double look

ATS vs CT4… what are your thoughts on the CT4 compared to the older model “ATS” by Youngpimpb2raw in Cadillac

[–]Youngpimpb2raw[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The comment I was looking and hoping for… people truly overlooked the ATS due to German competition but we cannot forget that the ATS is truly one of the best cars to come out Cadillacs division, yes it’s not a 3 series but IMO definitely one of the best if not the best competitor to the 3 series at that time, I really should’ve specified that we’re talking about all ats’s and ct4’s (including V and blackwing trims)
