You guys who doubt the 4.9 are, apparently, looking for dumb stuff like ceramic plating your throttle body and intake manifold. Do you actually buy that crap? That idea came from the same guy who said a 300hp 4.9 would be "still pretty slow" - Last I checked there was a 300hp 4.9 Fiero doing 12's. Guess that's "pretty slow" to a guy with 500-600lbs of hydraulic and stereo equipment thrown into his car, who is obviously EXTREMELY qualified to comment on performance for the 4.9, especially since he's admitted his engine build is strictly for cosmetics.
Stop buying into silly hype and start reading illumina's posts. Don't read mine because I'll tell you to do dumb shit like rip nearly 500lbs of weight off your 91 Cadillac DeVille and get sponsorships for racing. |
If you're talking about picking on a mustang 4.6 in 0-60, that's one thing, but in a quartermile or racign where there are actually turns I would be suprised if you won to the mustang. But I still hardly believe you would win to one even in 0-60. a 4.6 does a 5.5 sec 0-60. What is your deville doing?
I know what the performance of the deville is before I had anything done to it. Wasn't that fast. I also say its pretty slow because by comparison my daily has around 400 hp and 400 ft/lbs of torque, and an around 5 second 0-60 plus a hell of a lot better handling than a deville. I don't even really consider that all that fast in comparison to some of the modded Infinitis and any M-class bmw or mercedes AMG. Plus comparing a deville to a fiero with the same engine is silly. Theres a 1000 lb difference. I would seriously doubt any deville would be running a 12. But whatever floats your boat. Hop back in your deville and think you're fast.
