I smoke a lot of heroin right now. I can't imagine it being more addictive than that stuff.

Are u speaking of the car tony drove? If so,I never personaly raced that car. That car was quick though. I think I backed a "pind" car against it and lost though.

U don't by chance remember what that car went do u? Just trying to get a guess at what our z will go?! P/m me if u want. Id greatly appreciate it.

You'd be surprised!

I thought I only wanted a 12sec NA daily driver when I first got my Z...until I saw how easy it was.

It all went downhill from there, and now she's in a million pieces for the third time

I think my baby cam went 12.9 @ 106 in 7500ft air! Cam only, mid tubes, and bolt ons.

Not super impressed with the cadillac cam.

Are you being sarcastic? 12.9 with a baby cam at 7000ft is pretty good I think.

Spring and therefore lobe technology has come a long ways in recent years. Don't understand why people get so hung up on ancient designs that cost as much as modern ones.

Nothing "wrong" with it. It is over marketed. The same results have been had with the Crane 227 cam some car have dyno'd up in the 31Xrwhp range with each with minimal boltons and stock exhaust manifolds. But the "cadillac cam has been pushed as magical for it.

Just that since either was designed springs have come a long way which will allow a more aggressive lobe to be happy on the street. Going to pay the same for a cam if the lobes are 15yo or 2yo and can take advantage of more current technology.

If anybody but speed inc had made that cam it would have been disregarded immediately. The hotcam has it all over that thing and it gets no respect.
