My DeVille weighs less than the new Z06. Your DeVille weighs more than the new Hummer. See the difference there? My DeVille is sponsored for racing (you know, like real racing, with turns), your DeVille does... What again? Has a paintjob and some hydros? That certainly qualifies you as an expert on performance, doesn't it? Especially with your "ceramic plate the intake and throttle body" ideas that are completely idiotic in concept. How exactly, could you explain, would coating the intake manifold with anything increase combustion temperature? Much less the throttle body...
Just remember, at the end of the day, you need hydraulic pumps to make your DeVille get three wheel motion. I can lift my front right tire off the ground because of the combination of power and sheer grip my car has. |
Daily: 2001 Jaguar XJR, modified with cold air intake, arden springs, and flowmaster exhaust. Like I said, I had this deville stock for a while. I know how a deville handles. The weight difference in a stock deville vs fiero is about 800 lbs. Fiero: 2790 lb, Deville: 3519. Sorry, I was originally looking at 4 cylinder weight for the Fiero.
Ceramic throttle body won't help, but the bottom of the intake manifold will repell heat, allowing more head to stay in the block. like I said, been done for a while.
So you're saying your deville has a curb weight of less than 3100 lbs? There must be nothing left of that interior. Wouldn't imagine it would be that comfortable in driving.
That's what my deville does. Provides a lot of driving and riding enjoyment and comfort. Unlike some people who just throw on bolt on crap, I fabricated my own seats, modified the rear using an ultra thick memory foam. The whole suspension system, fabricated. there is nothing really bolt on for hydraulics that will work well with this car. The ride quality is decent. Not like stock, but still a hell of a lot better than my gf's 03 cavalier.
