Default NX 125 Wet + LS6 + Wheel Hop + CTS-V Driveline =

Not actually Corvette related but it is nitrous and a LS6 vette engine so I guess it counts.


Heres what happens when 500rwhp meets up with the driveline in the new Caddy supercar the CTS-V. Ain't pretty is it.

I bet that's gonna cost, too bad, sorry. Looks as a strut brace of some sort is in order, vendors may jump in if there is a market.

Already fixed, the owner of the dealership and I split the cost about 800 on my end. I coach football with him and he knows I spray the sh*t out of the car but he also knows I buy a new car from him every year so he did what I think was the right thing. When I saw him last week he said the service guys have a pool as to how long I will keep the new one together some of the guys didn't think I would make it all the way home

I am looking at some modifications to the suspension that should help things out quite a bit

And YES the car wheel hops like a mo fo off the line.

What I didn't show a pic of was the drive shaft which I completely twisted in 1/2

I remember reading in two monthly magazines about the wheel hop problem occuring with just the stock motor. I am not sure but check with LPE for a fix. I heard they were going to come out with a kit for the CTS.
