Escalade EXT Commercial

Hey Dark,

Yeah...Build up the cash and make sure no one then steals your wallet/purse and life. LOL. Screw that spend the cash Boss! I just had about $45,000 taken from me. Will take a **$&*^ fleet of attornys to get. Sad thing is the BANK is the one who is holding my money hostage. I will probably get 1/2 if I'm lucky......Should have bought something....Damn!

As for the Escalade, I consider it a weak trumped up plactic truck (IMO) what they where trying to do engineering wise is a nice thing, but....When pulling a load, it's all in how you get the enging to deliever the power to the road and when.

"Escalade EXT's high-output 345-horsepower V8 engine features a short-stroke crank and strong 10:1 compression inside lightweight aluminum cylinder heads. Escalade EXT's engine delivers 345 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 380 ft-lbs torque at 4,000 rpm. - Marketing from Cadillac". About $55,000.00

New HD F-150 more my type of truck...

"Supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter TritonTM SOHC V-8 engine rated at 340 hp @ 4500 rpm, 425 lbs.-ft. torque @ 3250 rpm. Marketing from Ford" About $38,000.00

And although I said I'd NEVER own a Mopar again..Ya know, the new Dodge Ram with a 345 horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI Magnum® V8 would be nice, as long as it never broke down..LOL, Yeah right!

Save your money a few more years and buy one of these

Average build time per car is three months. The mid-mounted engine is a thoroughly altered supercharged 4.6-liter version with intercooler of the Ford SVT Cobra 90-degree V8, and cranks out 655 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 553 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm with a 7500-rpm redline. Eighteen-inch magnesium wheels help bring the CC S8 down to a fighting weight of 2580 pounds.

Ahh, now THAT is engineering. I especially like the Kevlar wrappered exterior. Fargin' bullet proof too! ROFL..
