Current Cadillac<\/h2>\n

Bruce’s current Cadillac is a 2008 Cadillac STS-V which I found in Houston and brought back to Plano.<\/p>\n

\"STS-V<\/a><\/p>\n

The STS-V features the LC3 DOHC VVT supercharged 4.4L Northstar V8, Brembo brakes, performance shocks\/struts, and luxury appointments.\u00a0 As delivered it makes 469 hp at the crank.\u00a0 With my current mods my STS-V is making over 500 hp.<\/p>\n

Previous Cadillac<\/h2>\n

Bruce’s previous Cadillac is a 2005 Cadillac CTS.\u00a0 I purchased it new from Crest Cadillac in Plano, Texas in 2005.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is light platinum exterior, with neutral leather interior.<\/p>\n

I composed the musical accompaniment to the video; it is all computer synthesized.<\/p>\n
