My friend has a stock cadillac seville and my other friend has a tl with a bodykit...we were all trying to race but we couldnt really cause there were sum cars blocking me but in the little time i was able to floor the car my car seemed much slower then both those cars....they were able to keep going cause they had no cars in front of them but i couldnt, but still i thought my car would be able to hang wid them? Do you guys tink only a YPIPE will enable me to beat both those cars?

 

Regular TL? If so you should take him stock. I rip my friend all the time. Do you have a 5 spd?

 

even with an auto, you should be able to at least keep up with the TL....

 

i had a full tank of gas and he had like half a tank but i dun tink it shoulda made a difference.........we started from like 40 and im not sure what we got too but i know it was only a few secs that we were rolling.......does lowering the car help u wid speed at all? hehe aerodynamics.....

 

he lives in MD POTOMAC

 

Cadillac Sevilles with the Northstar engine are very fast, don't underestimate them. They run sub-7 0-60 times.

 

if it was a 40mph roll I know why, because your car won't downshift to first and it'll be stuck in second @ some mid 3000rpms, while you're stuck there the other's downshifted into their powerband and left you in dust.

 

only way to get around this is when you floor it(@ around 40, DO NOT DO IT ABOVE 45MPH), push yr tranmission into 1 then yr car will rev up to around mid 5500rpms and then shift it back to D when the tach says 6100rpm.

but from what I heard, this is bad for your car(manual shifting), don't do it unless you really want to.

 

Sorry about the lame post....but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
