I love these Cadillacs, but I understand parts are hard to find. A tail light or headlight may be $3,000 dollars. I see them for sale on the web going between $15,000-$35,000.
Ummm ... your expert is wrong about the Supercharged XLR-V only having "30 or 40 more horsepower" than the XLR and being the "same" engine. Though the Northstar was derived from the Lotus / Mercury Marine LT5 DOHC monster in the C4 ZR-1, the Northstar is not your typical Chevy 350 (5.7 Liter). The Supercharged 4.4 Liter Northstar in the XLR-V is quite different from the naturally asperated 4.6 engine. Due to significantly increased engine loading and thermal stresses on the 4.4 SC, piston assemblies, rings, rods and bearings are upgraded to higher quality parts. Engine dyno's rate the XLR 4.6 Liter (280 Cubic Inch) naturally-asperated Northstar V-8 at 320 HP. Dyno numbers for the 4.4 (Only 268 Cubic Inches!) Supercharged Northstar in the XLR-V are 443 HP. That's an additional 123 HP ... not "only 30 or 40 more". Also, the Eaton roots-style Supercharger requires @130 HP to spin up to maximum boost, so the engine basically has to produce @ 570+ HP to show 443 on the dyno after the Supercharger steals 130. Few people know that a Top Fuel dragster Supercharger steals @ 1,000 HP from the engine to operate at maximum boost. ;-)
Do you have any idea how to open the car when the battery is dead and the key in the rear bumper turns but will not unlock the trunk? I'm really at a loss!!! Thanks!
@@gta3ist I didn't know at the time that the hydraulics were holding the trunk down. It helps to have one person turn the key and a second person lifting up on the trunk. I'm assuming that you know about the key access in the bumper!

XLR V has a 4.4L Northstar with a blower.

The V has 440 HP if not more, stock xlr has only 320. Get your facts straight or don’t put them out there.
they dont make 340 hp just 320.
A wealth of information. Very good video.
xlr v has the same fenders.
Where to get parts for a 2006 XLR please??
I have one with under 10k miles
