That's not a response. I wish you could point out why shouldn't I use it?

Wait a sec, I google the Rank, I'm not Chief of Police!! that's about 7 ranks above me. There are 9 ranks below me. I hold a star on my shoulder if that makes any sense to you.

Lieutenant in Dubai = Lieutenant is the United States. same duties.
Lieutenant General in Dubai = Chief in the States which is the highest rank

Do you really need 800+hp to just go to 60mph? Wouldn't some sticky as hell tires and some short as hell gears get it done? Maybe a little spray just to be sure?

I wonder what the theoretical limit is in terms of quick 0-60mph times? Like if you could lift the front wheels the whole time, more power/tire would be irrelevant. What kind of time would that result in?

Also, how have you measured the 0-60mph time it currently turns? And what does it turn? How much improvement do you need?

0-60 in 2.5 doesn't make a V a Veyron. I would just make sure you have a nice big american flag on your car, then roll down the window and flip them off. Win.

Put that cash in the bank for a few years then come back and live comfortably.

Not really, I want to hit 205-210.

I'm running on stock right now. I just got the car. didn't even reach 1k

Wouldn't some sticky as hell tires and some short as hell gears get it done?

I will have a wide body that will handle the 13 inch wide wheels + 345 wide tires, with either the R888 tires, Pilot Super Sport, or the NT05. not drag radials.

I don't want it to have short gears. It should be quick and fast. 50/50, maybe 45/55.

Maybe a little spray just to be sure?

The NX system sounds good, right? 150 shot maybe? with the studs replaced?

What kind of time would that result in?

1/4 im not sure, maybe 9.8, 10 ish

If the Lingenfelter Corvette C5 could do it in 1.97, I guess the Caddy could do it in 2.5

Sorry, I couldn't answer All the questions.

Im be happy with my caddy, as I've been already waiting 3 years for it. Its my fav, and FIRST car I own. I'm keeping it for at least ten years. I love it because not of the other cars have the features and power it has for that price tag, either higher performance, low features, high price, or the other way around.

No, I can't. The baddest caddy on earth will never compete with a Veyron on any level.

I'll see your lol and raise you a lmfao.

A boosted geo metro could smoke a V2 but is it in the same league? Same principle applies here.

So, as I thought. no one helped...

Anyways,

That list is a rip off.

so, 427, whipple, trans upgrade and some other things would get it right.

Ill post this list in a few.

427 vs 434? anyone? I heard the 427 has more torque, true?

What LSX engine would be the best for the caddy?

My 800+ CTS-V would have an LSX based 427, a nice healthy cam and a good set of LS7 or aftermarket LSA style heads, and a nice big Whipple at 17-18 psi or so. Should get you where you need to go, with some room to spare.

I think dealing with the 6L80 is going to be the toughest part. Hope you have a good tuner to work with over there as well, or it's all for not.
