How do you think I would square up against these two. I have been challanged By a good friend at the Local Caddy dealer. I am slightly modded going up against those big V8's But Im lighter!. What do you guys think. Just for conversation.

 

Maxima vs. Escalade: Advantage would go to the Maxima because of power to weight ratio. If the Escalade is blown, you can forget it!

Maxima vs. DeVille: You may have a chance against the 275hp Northstar but the 300 hp variant may own you.

 

OK thats pretty much what I thought. Its going to be very interesting though.

 

Escalade is a PIMP'sters ride, not a performance car.....so don't worry about that car. Even if you beat him, he'll still get more girls than you.

Seville, I personally never ran any of them, because most are OLD people who drives it. I've race a Seville STS on highway though, I got my *** handed to me, oh did I mention I was still driving my 92 Sentra 1.6L w/ K&N drop in filter?! lol

I've never race any of them with my 02Max6spd yet, so I can only hope you beat them.

 

I raced my cuzins 03 Escalade and I burned him I'm guessing it was his 23's.

 

I drive a 96 STS as a daily driver and it feels slightly faster than my 2k auto max. The accel feels stronger even though its probably about the same as the max 0-60, but its got alot more top end. Maybe its just cuz my max is auto, but the caddy seems alot faster to me.

IMO Caddy are more boaty then our Max! the suspension is more for riding highway than performance and it rock back easier!! Maybe that the impression you get!!

 

 

Your right about the Girls But I was just concerned about the race.

 

dude, honestly, I think I get more looks from girls when Im drivin my STS than my max. lol

Escalade is PIMP, just PIMP!

 

Now does it seem alot faster or slightly faster you sort of confussed me? I have driven one 95 STS it feels livelier than 00/01 maximas down low but not up top IMO.

 

Alot faster, no. slightly faster, yes. Its definately more responsive than my max and pulls harder down low and up top.

Just for you....A buddy of mine at work has a girlfriend with a 2001 auto SE max and I also have a 2003 Caddy Escalade with 22's on it(read, very heavy and hurt acceleration). From the line, the Max was up about 1 car length, by 100 I had reeled him in(he drove). The 6.0L in the Escalade is a dog off the line, but it rolls nice once moving. I have raced the Escalade against my 2002 Max SE and it is a tad quicker than the Escalade(once the SC goes on the Caddy, though, that won't happen anymore either....). The Caddy is bone stock except the wheels/tires with 5000 miles on it. The 2001 Max had over 40K on it.

Your response in confussing your saying a 01 auto had you by a car and you caught up at 100 and the 02 auto is a tad quicker than your Escalade. Thats weird because the 02 auto is alot quicker than the 01 auto and your saying a Escalade with 7.4 to 60 15.6 @88mph is only a tad slower than an 02 auto not, alot slower. those times are close to the 01 autos not the 02's.

 

Driving an Escalade is a statement of stylistic bankrupcty.
As for the girls, maybe defective hoes would like it.
But real women w/ a bit of class just roll their eyes.

Sorry ,

I didnt mean to flame anyone didnt realize we had a memnber here who was driving one.

Driving a Nissan sports sedan atones for owning an escalade.
