Re: Test Drive Review......1973 Cadillac Coupe deVille!!!

Regarding the magazine test times, there are a few differences from the test car and our cars...

- There were usually two aboard and test equipment, which added weight.
- Cars were sometimes not broken in.
- Many times the transmission was left in "Drive."
- Times would vary according to the skill of the driver.

As for the mid-'90s Town Cars, my '95 doesn't have a huge amount of torque.. it does not roar off the line! But once going it accelerates pretty well and feels like a high-16/low-17 second car.
