That thing is FWD for one thing...
If you beat him by anything less than a football field you suck at life

Presuming you're running a full 1/4 mile, it shouldn't be close at all unless you completely cook the tires on the launch!

**dpinson** · 04-22-2008, 03:01 PM

i have driven many different northstar powered caddies and you shouldnt have a thing to worry about,unless you give him a 990ft head start and you run to a 1/4 mile

**Firebirdjones** · 04-22-2008, 03:32 PM

Just to give ya an idea how they run. My buddy has one,,,,the largest of the Caddy fleet, a 4-door land barge and he runs the thing all the time.

Runs 15.20's at 92 mph.

You didn't mention what style caddy,,,,if it's a smaller (lighter) version I would expect it to run a tad quicker,,,maybe a very high 14 or so.

With that said I would think there isn't a 4th gen stock or otherwise that should have a problem with one of these.

I'd put some money down on this race cause it'll be the easiest money you've ever made. If he's that confident, put a couple hundred.

LOL, sorry about the confusion, V6 cars aren't part of my vocabulary,(unless they are turbocharged),,by mentioning 4th gens I was referring to V8 stuff exclusively.

I figured you were.

**LGT Guru** · 04-24-2008, 06:45 AM

My friedns 95 STS went a 14.8 with 193k miles on it

**Shermanator86** · 04-24-2008, 06:52 AM

damn i thought this thread was going to be a northstar in somthing besides a caddy, like the one stuffed in the back of a fiero that i know of. If the guy thinks he's going to beat you buy 5 lengths i would put more money on it than $55, at least $100

**LGT Guru** · 04-24-2008, 07:07 AM

Yeah when you said northstar i was thinking the new STS supercharged northstar or the XLR or XLR-V something that is a real challenge

**7camaro7** · 04-24-2008, 01:21 PM

I think you need to get your bottle out for this one man... I don't know... You're racing a fucking sts 1995 cadillac! Those things are beastly! Northstar! Bring the slicks too... I heard they're awd too, no f'n joke...

Ok, you'll absolutely kill him. my buddy had one and he wanted to roll race me from like 50 and I swear he shifted to reverse when I shifted to 2nd...
