There was a time, not so long ago, when Cadillacs were really nothing more than land yachts. They appealed, mainly, to elderly buyers who still remembered Cadillac's glory days of the 1950s and 60s. But that's all in the past. These days, Cadillac has not only rebranded itself with new and exciting high performance cars, but regular tuning enthusiasts have taken notice as well. Hence this heavily modified CTS-V. Now, this is actually a first-generation CTS that dates back to around 2003.

However, this one has an insane 1,200 horsepower. The guys at 1320video encountered it while at the Pikes Peak Air Strip Attack. See for yourself in the video ahead just how nuts this car is.
