so my coworker
so my coworker and I were talking about my camaro. We got on the subject of racing and that he wants to race me for a 1000 bucks. i asked him what vehicle he has. He has a newer caddilac escelade truck. its like the avalanche but made by caddilac. am I missing something here? could this thing be faster than the camaro??

what year is it? Is it a 6.2L may want to check and btw he is at least twice the weight of your vehicle even with the 6.2L it will take a few feet to wind it up

Stock no way in heck. Escalade weighs almost a ton more.

Ask him what the mods are. If he says none then shake hands on that...and win your grand.

Is he an idiot that doesn't know anything about cars? Because if he isn't, then his engine is probably cranking out something north of 700 hp. Maybe a bit less if you're local track is an 1/8th mile & he's got AWD.

That video up above makes the GTR seem slow. I wonder if they the escalade made it seem slower, or it was biased.
Back on topic, you should beat him if its a stock escalade, although maybe he was playing around and bet 1,000 "dollhairs". |

I'm guessing if he knows enough to race for cash, he knows how fast his truck is.....
