Performance:

# High-profile camshaftopens the valves faster and higher, enabling more air to flow into and out of the combustion chambers and contributing to horsepower gains
# High-strength pistonshelp increase engine durability, particularly under high-performance operating conditions
# Revised valves and stiffer valve springsbetter accommodate valve operation with the high-lift cam, hollow intake valves reduce mass and permit extremely high cam lift, and the sodium-filled exhaust valves help ensure proper cooling
# Enhanced induction systemenables enhanced engine breathing, helping to increase horsepower output
# High-flow intake manifolddelivers high amounts of airflow to the intake ports, helping to ensure a broad torque curve while delivering maximum power
# High-flow fuel injectorsdeliver fuel at the faster rate needed due to increased intake airflow
# Reconfigured exhaust manifoldspermit increased exhaust flow while maintaining low levels of noise
# Dual exhaustconstructed of 2.5-inch (159-mm) diameter stainless steel pipe to help minimize back pressure, increase horsepower and ensure proper exhaust tone. Investment-cast stainless steel tips cap the exhaust pipes
# Engine coverhelps reduce underhood noise and ties directly to the exterior performance styling of the vehicle with the Cadillac wreath and crest in its center and V-Series identification positioned over each cylinder bank
# Following extensive development at the Nurburgring, the racing-inspired Brembo 14-inch (355-mm) front and 14.4-inch (365-mm) rear disc brakes provide remarkable deceleration and reduced braking distances with aluminum four-piston calipers on all four corners. Included on the caliper casting is distinctive V-Series identification. Specific seven-spoke 18-inch by 8.5-inch aluminum, six-lug wheels.

Suspension/Chassis:

# Hydroformed front/rear cradleshandle the greater mass of the LS6 engine (front) and 180 lb.-ft. (244 Nm) increase in torque surging through the driveline (rear) as well as enhancing NVH performance
# Larger stabilizer bars decrease body roll by increasing roll stiffness
# Increased front/rear spring ratesenhance performance-oriented handling characteristics
# Larger monotube front shocksincrease damping capacity and provide better thermal performance
# Nivomat rear shocksautomatically adapt spring and damping rates to changing load conditions for enhanced handling and ride performance
# Performance-tuned elastomeric ride bushingsfitted to aluminum control arms to bring precise on-center feel, enhance linear performance under high-speed braking and reduce control arm movement at high speeds
# The StabiliTrak stability enhancement system assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver’s intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver’s use of the brake pedal. It is standard equipment and includes four driver-selected modes of operation, including a competition mode for better track performance. The extensive chassis tuning carries over from the 2004 model, including larger shock absorbers and 26.6-mm front and 21-mm rear stabilizer bars. Front and rear spring rates are increased by 27 percent from the CTS.
