JasonA Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 What do u guys think the 0-60 and the qtr. mile time would be on a stock STS? 93-94 year range?????? There is a chart here: http://jadcock.oldsgmail.com/cadsls/images/caddyperf.gif Data for that was taken from autosite.com, which summarizes performance statistics for most vehicles that have been tested by national magazines. The performance times on my chart are from rags like Road & Track, Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Automobile, Autoweek, etc. They are averages only. Any given car might be a tick faster or slower than the average for the group. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?"

One question though is that very accuate because why would there be a difference between like for instince the 93 sts and 94 sts have a difference in there times and they are identical cars. The 96 and 97 STS are also quite different and they don't seem like there should be a difference????? Defending Northstar perf a qtr mile at a time!!!!

But yes, there could be that much variability in performance due to manufacturing differences, maintenance differences, etc. The only way to know what YOUR car will do is to quantify it. Take it down a track, or at least Gtech-it. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Collaziano Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 How's this STS holding up a year later? How much did all those performance mods cost (parts, installation)? Sal Collaziano Cadillac Magazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK 99STS Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sal, The car is running great. As a mater of fact I am in the middle of a major winter project. I have the engine and trans out. I had the exhaust ports opened on the heads and am putting in a 3500 stall torque converter instead of the 2600 in now. I am waiting on my differential to come back as it will be a limited slip. I am also going to improve the front bank exhaust down pipe which is the choke point currently. With all of these mods I am hoping to gain about 40-50hp. And going with a limited slip differential, I will eliminate traction control. My goal is to be in the low 13's in the 1/4 mile. Did you want a cost for any specific item or everything as I would have to pull all my papers and add it up. MARK 99STS TURBOCHARGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Collaziano Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Everything! Haha. But don't worry.. As you find the time.. I just can't believe you're probably going to get your STS into the low 13s.. I'm really impressed by that.. In fact, it's a little too much for my brain to handle right now.

I just can't believe you're probably going to get your STS into the low 13s.. I'm really impressed by that.. In fact, it's a little too much for my brain to handle right now. Go for high 12's! Hahaha! How much horsepower are you pushin out now? Just a rough estimate! IMPORT CRUSHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK 99STS Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I don't know the HP yet, but I am going to have it put on a dyno as soon as I get it back together. My estimate would be around 350hp MARK 99STS TURBOCHARGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadillac_caddy_sts Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Wow thats crazy thats 350 at the wheels right! That would be crazy! Defending Northstar perf a qtr mile at a time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCat83 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 IMO Bendix semi-metallic pads and rotors are about the best on the market for "normal" every day driving. I get an average 30k-35k miles out of pads and 70k plus miles out of the rotors. We just don't drive fast enough or abusive enough to utilize everything nany aftermarket compnents have to offer. Rebuild or replace your calipers every 50k or 60k miles, replace your pads when they're 2/3 to 3/4 worn (prevents glazed rotors caused by thin pads) and change brake fluid every two years and your brake system will provide consistent excellent service over the long haul - no need for expensive a/m parts unless you enjoy pissing your money away.

MARK 99STS Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 The car was turbocharged in February 2006. On the dyno it puts down 383hp at the wheels and 417 ft lbs of torque. Thats about 525 at the crank. MARK 99STS TURBOCHARGED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
