Cadillac 12.89@114 I've run faster a couple years ago but wasn't a member of this awesome forum back then. Yesterday, on a cold track (Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA) I ran a 12.89@114mph in my V. I ran against a black Mustang GT w/ drag radials. I think I put no less than 12 cars lengths on him. The sleeper Caddy always draws a crowd

BTW, what is your best time if you think they run 12.9s stock?

2.243 is killin ya, but I wouldn't doubt the difficulty of that launch...If there is anyway to bring that down even into the 1.8-1.9 range, you'd easily be cracking low 12s, high 11s in that heavy beast...still a sick *** car...

114 mph is all kind of mph for 12.89, I bet the Mustang driver never saw you coming! Do you have the stock rear end or have anything done to the rearend? Hell your not doing bad to have run those times and still have an intact rear end!

I hear you guys. Even a 2.0 60' would get me down to around 12.5. The rear is stock as there isn't really a 'good' option for the aftermarket yet. I'm currently on my 4th differential and Cadillac has told me that they won't warranty this one if it breaks. There is a $8000 option but, well, that price isn't really an option to me.

My two cents I have owned an 04 cobra and I was looking for a way to cut down on wheel hop. I found a guy that was running your typical drag air bags. I dont know how the caddy is setup but this may help. My friend is in the process of putting a tt hp kit on his terminator and he is going to try this out. Cant hurt and they are pretty cheap.

They are well worth the $100 or whatever they cost now.
