VIDEO: "You might have trouble with the state inspection."
With this one, we're going to let the video speak for itself. In brief, the owner of a CTS-V decides to add a Garrett turbo and apparently makes several other changes underhood at the same time. Then he invites his Gallardo-owning buddy over to film the first startup of the car, which wears the vanity plate, VETEATR. CATEATR might be more appropriate. Just watch and you'll understand. Note that there's some profanity near the end, so if you're at work, don your headsets or keep the volume low. The running commentary once the Caddy gets started is simply classic.

What is that stuff coming out? Parts from inside the cat converter?

Adding a turbo without a reprogram maybe?

One easy way around it that I found has worked is using Firefox with the Distrust plugin.

Can't use Firefox on that military computer. You have to be an administrator to even put programs on it, and they have to be legit (conform/assist in the use/support of the Air Force mission). If you do find a way around it, they'll notice it was done with your login and they come directly to you and administatively punish you for it. I'm not going to throw 15 years away on an attempt to load Firefox on that computer.

Thats crazy. I love the cts-v's, but he needs a stock z06 to shut his friend up about the cts vs gallardo s*** at the end of the vid.

whatever it was, new plugs, wires, and an ignition booster shouldn't be doing it! I figured it would be a misfire from wiring the plugs in the wrong order, but i have no idea what really just happened!
Either way, if THIS guy is planning on running that much boost on an ls6, i have a feeling that the next video will be of a few ringlands racing the cat out the exhaust.

My fav part is how you hear a dog whimpering at the end.
What's funny is that he just kept running it even after the exhaust starting blowing chunks--literally. I mean dang, I'd turn it off and figure out what the heck's wrong. CTS-Vs aren't exactly cheap.

yeah, but look at him and his friend. You think he can't afford it.

Jersey plates? Figures.
The best quote from that vid was:
"I don't think you should be breathing that stuff in."
"I know, that's why I got a beer."

Yes! We replayed that bit a few times to make sure that was what he said.
That beer and wrench logic is flawless!
