Default Cadillac Power..

I was drivin down the Highway, cruisin at about 75 when an Alero passed me, and gave me this funny look as he did it. I pretty much was like hell no..and got on it. It down shifted, and I started to catch him. He punched it, then I put it to the floor(shouldn't really be doin it in my Caddy..but it can take it), and I started to walk him. I went to about 115, he dropped back cause his Speed Governor kicked in.
The best part is he passed me as I was getting off an Exit, I pointed and laughed at him, he flipped me off..

This is the Car..not a sports car, but it's my Car at the moment before I put the Camaro back on the road, and it's a kill by a V8.
1990 Cadillac Sedan DeVille, 4.5l 273ci FWD V8, MPFI, 200hp/275tq

I used to have an 89 caddy deville. mine was in good shape but not as nice as yours. car lasted 190k miles until a wheel bearing went and the wheel/tire fell off. original engine and trans still worked great. never owned a car more reliable than that one!

Nice kill.

I've got a 95 eldorado etc w/ the 300horse n* engine. The car has always been reliable and puts the smack down on many unsuspecting sportscars. Its not crazy fast (all stock) but really pulls quite nicely at triple digit speeds. I've had it up to an indicated 145mph and it was still accelerating but the frameless windows were whistling really badly. My only complaint about the car is the horrendous torque steer in first and second gear when I mash the gas.

^^Always got to be one..
Why do you call BS..his governor kicked in, and I left him.
My Neighbor has one also, he messes with me all the time when I had the Camaro on the road and we are goin somewhere. He knows that he can't play past 100mph..I rub it in every time..

It's cool...next time throw a little smiley in..

I paid $2475 cash for that Car, it had 126K on it at the time, I had the Tranny re-built at the 132K mark, and haven't had a problem out of it since. I have had it for over 3 1/2 years, it was my first car that I bought, and it's lasted this long.
That's a damn good car.

It works for the Parts Getter..smooth, comfortable, looks good, and the AC works like a Freezer..
When I am done it will be pretty much the normal driver, the Camaro will be a little peppy for the Street..

I bought my 95 eldo etc N* in grandpa fresh always garaged condition for 5g's with 61K on it. These damn things depreciate so freakin fast its unbelievable. $50,000 to $5,000 in ten years. Its still in great shape and I havn't had a single major issue with it (gotta clean the egr valve every 10k though, damn p0036 code)
