Caddynut Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I was coming home today and got behind a newer dodge duallie 4x4 going about 15 in a 45. I decided to pass and dumped the STS down to the floor and off I went around. When I got next to him...he gunned it and tried to keep up....WHAT A JOKE!!! I left him like 200 feet behind me and he was on it!!! Some people never learn to mess with the STS. Old street racing days I lived in the past always come back. 2008 BMW 328xi 2007 Chrysler Aspen 2001 Cadillac Seville STS 2000 Ford Ranger XLT1998 Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible 1996 Saturn SC-11991 Ford F-1501979 Chevrolet Caprice1968 Ford LTD1965 VW Beetle "Herbie The Love Bug Replica** 1961 VW Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donburns Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Nothing much to add, but the STS is under estimated. Fun to Drive and if your smart cheap to maintain. I will keep my 1991 forever. And My 2000 was a steal and keep her for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The best is when someone is going like 50 in a 35...And you go to make a turn. They come up on you doing like 50 and say "im going to tail gate this SOB for cutting me off" Then you floor it and within seconds they are trying to catch up to you!!! If you look in the rear view mirror you can see the "wow that Cadillac has balls" look in there eyes! A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've had people look me in the eye and call my car a boat. I avoid exhibition of speed and such. However, in commuting traffic, I am the Big Dog, occasionally to the bewilderment of those who don't expect a lot of agility at freeway speeds in finding gaps in traffic, entering from ramps, clearing gaps for people trying to merge, etc. I do try to be very courteous; it contributes to a friendlier commuting culture, and the guy you let in today may be the guy ho lets you in tomorrow. In particular, I go out of my way to make room for truckers in traffic. With my ETC and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, I can well afford to be the gentleman. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Astrak Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Don't underestimate a Cummins turbo diesel, if you try to take one from a light you will lose. Six hundred pound feet of torque gets em up and going pretty quick. On the other hand from a roll the diesel will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
