Chicagoland Cadillac, the leading dealer for new and certified used Cadillac cars in the greater Chicago area, has received the first shipment of 2009 Cadillac CTS-V’s.

The CTS-V is available as a luxury sedan. Cadillac has grabbed the attention of the Automobile world by utilizing parts from the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. Gone is the old drive train, and in its place lies a detuned version of the LSA engine. Pumping out over 550 horsepower through a six-speed transmission, this car is the fastest Cadillac has ever produced, and is a far cry from the cars of old. Also taken from the new ZR-1 are the magnetically controlled shocks and suspension, and huge Brembo brakes. This Cadillac will also receive specialized Recaro racing seats and huge 19-inch alloy wheels sporting Michelin rubber.

Cadillac’s aim with the new CTS-V is to dethrone the BMW M5, which has been the best performing luxury sedan for many years. While the BMW costs upwards of $80,000; Cadillac has ingeniously brought the starting cost of the CTS-V down to $60,000. This makes the CTS-V relatively affordable and a great bargain for the performance oriented consumer.  And performance wise the CTS-V beats not only the M5 in most categories; but the Mercedes E63 AMG.  Both of which cost over $20k more than the CTS-V.  In fact the CTS-V posted the fastest time ever by a production sedan at the famed Nurburgring Test track in Germany.

Jimmy Plant asked:


I am a very logical person and I really dislike anything supernatural or metaphysical. I am more into things I can see and touch, such as car parts and engines.  My roomate Joe on the other hand, is the exact opposite. While I’ll be restoring my latest beloved muscle car, Joe will be researching some new mystical art or ancient mystery.

His latest obsession was stage magic and he began practicing it with gusto. Last week, he tried to impress me with his newest tricks.

“Take note, oh simpleminded audience,” he said flourishing his arms, “that there is nothing up my sleeves.”

“What about that pulley system?” I pointed out after noticing some suspicious wires. “And that hidden deck of cards, and… my god! Is that a dove?”

“Squeaky!” screamed Joe, and he shook his sleeve until the body of his dove fell out with a thud. Unfortunately, poor Squeaky had suffocated in Joe’s armpit—not a good way to go by any means…

Joe was feeling remorseful, so after the funeral, we decided to go to see a real magic show in Squeaky’s honor.

“It’s what he would’ve wanted,” said Joe, “After all, he lay down his life in service to the craft.”

We hopped into my restored ’65 Corvette Stingray and moseyed down to the magical theatre. Inside, it was dark and packed with people. They had all come to see the Great Magnifico, who was in town for one night only.

Magnifico stepped onstage, dressed in a flowing cape and top hat. He began his act by pulling a mile of colored scarves out of his throat.

“Yawn!,” I shouted, “It’s been done!”

Magnifico scowled and moved on to his next trick, the Chinese linking rinks.

“You suck!” I bellowed, “Boo! Boo!”

Magnifico scowled harder at me and announced that it was time for his final act. He clapped his hands and a lion appeared onstage, prowling around. Magnifico covered the beast with a cloth and shouted the magic word. There was a huge puff of smoke and lights. When the smoked cleared, the audience cheered loudly, for there, onstage, was a ’65 Corvette Stingray—my Stingray! And the lion was in the driver’s seat, revving the engine!

Magnifico clapped his hands again and the lion floored the gas, driving around the stage madly and roaring in triumph.

“Magnifico!” I  shouted, “This time you’ve gone too far!” And I raced out of my seat and toward the stage.

But Magnifico was one step ahead of me, and he called out to the lion. “Simba, attack!”

I took a flying leap onto the stage while the lion flew at me. We met in mid air and fought fiercely. But, we finally agreed to a draw and went our separate ways…

As we drove home, Joe said it was the greatest magic show he had ever witnessed. I was still not impressed with the magical arts, but I was glad to get my Corvette back.

Each and every September there is a Corvette show held on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk. Hundreds of Corvettes show up for the event, which is usually held on a Sunday afternoon and brings plenty of tourists to the Jersey Shore. Come late September the Ocean City boardwalk is packed with day trippers and anyone trying to get in that final rendezvous with summertime.

The Corvette show on the Ocean City boardwalk begins around 11am as the cars parade from the regional Airport on Bay Avenue towards the boardwalk. The Corvettes then parade down the boardwalk to the stopping point on 6th Street in front of Wonderland. There are plenty of people on the boards that are there specifically to watch the Corvette show.

Before the Corvettes leave the Airport, there are plenty of stands to browse through for souvenirs like model Corvettes and t-shirts commemorating that year’s Corvette show. Once on the boardwalk, the people attending the show can walk up and down the two lines of Corvettes and speak with each car’s owners to find out information regarding each Corvette.

There are Corvettes of all different types at the show; from the original model to the most recent model available on the market. Many Corvettes contain superior sound systems, come as convertibles, and some even have a die-cast model of the car sitting on the dashboard inside. Almost every single Corvette at the show is well kept and rarely driven, as evidenced by the mile counter.

The Corvette has been manufactured by Chevrolet since 1953 and is now produced in a plant in Kentucky. There is a National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the same place that the cars are manufactured in today. The three models that are out now are the Corvette C6, the Corvette Z06, and the Corvette ZR1. The ZR1 will make its debut in 2009 and will remain in production until 2010 along with the other two previously mentioned models.

The C5 was manufactured from 1997-2004 and is one of the most popular models out there today. The Corvette, all models, comes in the 2-door coupe and the 2-door convertible. All models of the Corvette are popular, especially the original model, which is hard to find. That’s why Corvette shows are great to attend if you are a car lover. The Ocean City, NJ Corvette show is one of the largest Corvette shows at the Jersey Shore, with close to 500 cars participating, and the number rises each September.

There are Corvette shows all over the country where proud owners display their beloved cars to the adoring public that is infatuated with one of the most popular cars in American history. It is easy to see why people are so infatuated with the Corvette. It has the sleek look that a sports car should have, beautiful colors to choose from, and purrs like a kitten when the engine is revved. The Corvette is also one of the most reliable vehicles when it comes to service or technical problems. The Corvette is a stable vehicle and a staple of American culture.

The Crow asked:


Consumer Reports has a column in their car review section for the Chevrolet Corvette. It does NOT say Z06, the price range is listed as 44k to 69k, and my friend says that just because the one they tested WAS a Z06, that that’s the price range for the Z06. To settle the score, please enlighten him for me.
