Let’s talk about the oft-forgotten Cadillac STS-V. This big body Caddy was made from 2005-2009, where it was essentially replaced by the gen two CTS-V. The STS-V didn’t come with LS power. No, it instead used a supercharged version of the 4.4-liter Northstar V8 making 469 horsepower and 439 lb-ft of torque. Yup, this was the first modern supercharged Cadillac sports sedan. Due to the short production run, and somewhat obscure name cognition, the STS-V flies under the radar for many enthusiasts. Oh, and they are cheap. Like, $10-15,000 will buy a nice daily driver-ready STS-V.That brings us to this burnout video comes to us from the jairomvp YouTube channel. It features a Cadillac STS-V with a few upgrades doing a big, nasty burnout. We don"t hear about the STS-V much these days with the likes of the 640-horsepower CTS-V serving as GM"s super-sedan, but this short clip reminds us that STS led to an incredible performance variant of its own. And once modified, the STS-V is very happy to decimate its rear tires on command.
