Default Silly Escalade, You Can't Beat a 5.0 Mustang



Some loony owner of a 2015 Escalade decided to drag race against a new Coyote-equipped Mustang GT.

Just bought my wife a 13 Escalade and guys I'm really impressed with the performance. She's kinda sluggish off the line (please don't tell my wife) but as it gets up to speed it really moves for the tank that it is. Sad to say this but I think it would have given my car (in stock form) a run for its money....

I just bought a 15 Escalade. It runs pretty good for weighing like 7500 lbs. Not sure if it is as fast as my 14 was, the 15 is two wheel drive eight speed, the 14 was awd and six speed. Lol, it's even the same color as the one in the video, but it's not me I swear.

I was hoping that going to 2wd drive would make it really scream. But that eight speed, kind of a wash I think.

A tune should make those leave harder off the line. IMO.
