Raced an Escalade...
Driving around in L.A. yesterday at about 12:30 am, and weaving in and out of traffic is a huge Escalade EXT complete with a booming bass drum and some Mexicans playing reggaeton...I turned up the ZZ Top and followed them down the boulevard, pulled up alongside them, and we went at it. The Escalade pulled away from me slightly, from a speed of about 45. We stopped at the next light and went from a dig. I pulled away from him and put a car length on him before braking (My car is a V6 auto stang).

nice race.
My stepdad has a 2003 silverado z71 all stock just the factoryperformance and offroad package. Let me tell you.
It KILLS our 2003 v6 mustang and all the rice burners around here. Escalade's must be slow?

It wasn't very far, because there was another red light a few blocks down. Only to about 65 mph...

You described their national origin, that they had a boomin' system, and the kind of music they were bumpin'......But you left out the details of what this thread is supposed to be about ....................the race....lol

Yeahhh...a little bit. But Escalade's arent really that fast, are they? Don't they have, what, 5.4 L V8s? 290 hp? I wonder what the weight of those things are...
