"What we liked best about the Slade was how effortlessly it put all 700 horses to the ground. With the four-wheel-drive system and automatic transmission, an Avon Lady could launch the thing perfectly." Dear god. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=26&article_id=6860 - Freed
" Apply a bit of brake torque, and the LPE Escalade honks to 60 mph in only four seconds, just about half the time a stocker needs. In 11.1 seconds it's at 100 mph, and in only 12.7 seconds it passes the quarter-mile at 106 mph (a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 reaches 60 in 4.6 seconds and the quarter in 13.1 seconds at 110 mph)." Whoa! But at a $150k, you could buy 3 used M3 BMWs....
55 k for the engine??? Give me half that and I'll build a 700 hp BBB with fuel injection and no turbos. ps- I'd like to see that thing do a 4 wheel burnout! Bruce
