Maybe hes got a TSi, or TSi AWD... unless he stated otherwise... my friend has got an ElDorado... its a 97... that thing is a heap of ****... unless hes got a rolling start that things a hog off the line...

Keep in mind, yes, it had 270hp... brand new, and in top condition. Its a 1994 V8 (Northstar) those cars are NOT known for thier longevity... hence the fact they can be found for like a 10th of thier original cost.

Provided its at a track ((ahem)), I think it would be a race that wouldnt be the worst case scenario... as Ive seen many cars defeat Caddys. Theyre heavy and handle like shopping carts at high speeds.

Hey I had a rental Buick Lucerne with the Northstar motor with 10k miles on it. The motor sounded a bit ragged out but it had some get up and go...a bit too refined for me, but quick nonetheless.

Right, but your talking about a huge difference in power.. The car would make up in weight b/c of the power its pushing out..
