My 12-second pass (I let off twice... watch the AWD torque steer near the beginning and I lift at the end, because the stock trans wasn't liking the power after about 10 passes and thousand of miles or hard street driving)

Few low boost 13-second passes vs a Nova and a Mustang

6000lbs hunk of iron pushing in the 12's is bad ***!

I have seen everything! Maybe I missed it but how much HP does that truck have? :patriot:

All I have to say - that is bad! :eek: :hump:

It was AWD and we don't have an AWD dyno, so it was tuned on the street. It would have to make 600-650WHP to run those times at that weight though.

It was a 100% stock internal engine, with stock heads, intake, etc. It also had a stock transmission and t-case. The only performance mods were the single turbo kit, built here in-house, a Trans-Go shift kit, Bassani Catback, and a custom tune. The other truck had a built lower end, D1 Procharger, Nitrous, 4.56 gears, built transmission, etc, etc. and was lighter on the scales.

I miss this truck.... One time we had 7-people in it heading to a club and raced a fox body Mustang on ET Streets and beat him.. he didn't know what happened and couldn't believe it.. There was a video of that floating around, but I lost it when my hard drive crashed and can't find it online.

I would hate to roll up on this on the street and then get my azz handed to me!! That looks fun!

Good lord! That rig is quicker than most cars on the street! Just to show don't mess with ANYTHING on the road unless you are 100% certain you can take 'em!

Being AWD, even if it it wasn't as quick as other cars, it would leave so hard, it was hard to catch up. My head/cam C5 ran low 12's at 119mph on street tires and the Escalade left so hard on me, it was hard to beat on the street.

Guess this proves it: you can make ANYTHING fast!! :D

Damn I would never guessed to see a Escalade going 1/4 that quick!

All I can say is :wtf: that thing is awesome!!!!

:eek: Amazing video. LOL that Escalde is faster than my Vette! :party:
