would you guys lough at me if I tell you I got smoked by 99(may be 2000) Caddie Seville STS at the light last night??<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">
I span the rear pretty bad... which he(must be Civic driver driving daddys car to pick up whoez or somethin') just took off with almost no chirp. Once I got traction, then I started to chase him down, but he, by that time, was going about 2 car ahead of me, and I couldn't pass him by the next lights...<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

If you hadnt spun, you probably woulda beat him. Kinda depends, but yeah its a heavy ride. Got power but pullin alot of mass there.. Still like that Northstar engine.

Yeah they will try. Make no mistake, they have the big 50 hp shot in their car, and of course its so much more high tech. So no matter how fast you actually are, they will tell their buds, you got beat. Just no honesty in the world anymore...<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

Don't forget that STS has much more weight to plant the tires & plenty of torque.

I got beat off the line by a 15.4 second car and it took me a while to catch back up....no shame dude. Just learn to go from a 10-15 mph roll and you won't have any trouble
