Not only was Cadillac able to shed the slow old-people barge image, the General Motors division was able to go the opposite way by growing a brutally powerful reputation for its V-Series cars with the XLR, CTS, and now the ATS. That’ll happen when you start throwing Corvette engines and twin-turbos on everything, and making both the luxury sedans and coupes rear-wheel drive.This particular car is the ATS-V with the 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that starts at $63,000. Base, it has 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Not enough for New Jersey-based shop Krazy House Kustoms (the K makes it so much Kooler). Tuned with a downpipe and x-pipe added, their ATS-V hits 545 horsepower.The first run, he goes a 11.10 at 128.21. The second run bests his first with a time of 10.92 and a speed of 126.72 mph. Not too shabby, Caddy … not too shabby.[Via BigKleib34]Tags: Cadillac ATS-V, Drag Strip, Krazy House Kustoms, twin turbo
