Would i have a chance?

my friend just bought a 1994 V8 Cadillac Eldorado(spelling?) and he says that i wouldnt have a chance.  i know the v8 dont mean sh*t and all and he thinks it means everything. but i havent really heard of a fast cadillac.  but i have a 1991 eagle talon and the only things that i can remember that have been done to it are a pace setter header and downpipe.  but it is pretty quick compared to the rest of the cars at school.
 
so i was just wondering there is a point to me arguing with him. he said that he raced a stock 2g gst the other day and had him all the way up to 50mph and then he backed down but im not sure how reliable that story is either.

wow well i just read that they came with 270hp so this is a dead post i guess.

there are lots of fast caddy's the northstar motors are bitch! 

vette motors in some

yea you pretty much dont have a chance

u can win, ill pop his tires befor you start..... or like i said, race his automatic @$$ across the street.... lol. sams car is gay anyways

Lets remember the last poster who asked about racing a someone.
He is'nt driving his gsx anymore.

hah.. Only thing you have goin for ya, is the weight and gearing...  But not good chances for you 

so what he has an 8 i agree with Theadvocate... light car and good shiftin will win ya

what are you talking about, its 270hp vs like 130hp. where is the chance in there?

Maybe hes got a TSi, or TSi AWD... unless he stated otherwise... my friend has got an ElDorado... its a 97... that thing is a heap of ****... unless hes got a rolling start that things a hog off the line...
 
Keep in mind, yes, it had 270hp... brand new, and in top condition. Its a 1994 V8 (Northstar) those cars are NOT known for thier longevity... hence the fact they can be found for like a 10th of thier original cost.
 
Provided its at a track ((ahem)), I think it would be a race that wouldnt be the worst case scenario... as Ive seen many cars defeat Caddys. Theyre heavy and handle like shopping carts at high speeds.

that would be me lol........=/

Hey I had a rental Buick Lucerne with the Northstar motor with 10k miles on it.  The motor sounded a bit ragged out but it had some get up and go...a bit too refined for me, but quick nonetheless.

Ya.. I didnt say he would win, I just said thats the only things he would have going for him...   Not enough...

heavyier cars have slower accel my freind (sold his taurus with a V6) got a 4 cylinder nissan altima very small car...its acceleration was quick and the taurus....not so quick both however smaller than my engine (taurus 3.0 vulcan and 2.4? nissan) still out accelerated my 3.5 montero...now...if i put that engine in another taurus or nissan...it would be quicker

Right, but your talking about a huge difference in power..  The car would make up in weight b/c of the power its pushing out..

true

maybe he could win if he uses his hopes and his dreams

i did that with the is350, i lost and i crashed..........lol literally i always say that im running on hopes and dreams

hope is not a strategy...but it is when last resort maybe the guy will hit a gorilla

Hopefully one day your GSX will run again on hopes and dreams 

Hopes and dreams are expensive. Think alternative fuel, make it run off of dog piss, lol.
