SO!!!! it's a commemorative car for something very special. Take it for what it is man dang!!
Jason BrowerNov 01, 2011 Hennessey already did this
Anthony NoonOct 31, 2011 The car has 556hp/550tq stock
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 1001hp is nothing for an LS block.

Alanda BurroughsNov 02, 2011 Why do you continue to bring up the subject of racing? It's totally out of context here and has no bearing on this subject. For that matter we can go through all kinds of "what ifs" and "they coulda shouldas."
If you don't want power then don't buy a car with power. Those of us that do aren't being convinced by your "racing analysis" of why more power is not the bee's knees!
No PistonsNov 01, 2011 Car. My comparison was simply an example of how high speed can be can be achieved without high hp numbers to further support my point of view "in racing terms" once again as stated in my first comment. I return to a general view stating this car is..
No PistonsNov 01, 2011 @alanda
See reading coherently seems to be a lost art, if you were to read my first comment I clearly state from a racing point of few I'm against high numbers and I was defending my point on why. I never said this is a race car or going to be a race
Alanda BurroughsNov 01, 2011 Actually No Pistons...your whole point is moot. No one is comparing this car to a full-on race car. I don't even know why you chimed in about too much horsepower in the first place. If peeps didn't want more power there wouldn't be tuners that create twin turbocharge cars like Ferraris, Lamborghini, Vipers, Vettes, etc.
Also notice the article said "tribute" car...not full-spec race car. Did you ...
No PistonsNov 01, 2011 Yup I use my regional NASA license just to go from stop light to stop light in my camry. Your comment is full of ignorance
Hovie Hov E-HouseNov 01, 2011 Let me end this conversation .... Bottom line none of u can afford any car or f1 cars that u claim to kno so much about and assume to know how one or the other would compete against one another ... Light to light is all u would do in d real world.
Tyson BroadbentNov 01, 2011 Sorry, I thought we ere talking about that one.
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 Uh Tyson, the veyron SS has more, not the normal.
Tyson BroadbentOct 31, 2011 @andrew
Uh, it has more actually.
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 The bugatti doesn't even have close to the torque. Why does everyone have to bring that car up when there is a car with this much power.
No PistonsOct 31, 2011 @andrew
You missed and at the same time supported my point, my point is you dont need insane power to be fast you can can infact be faster with less power and you just name a bunch of factors that supports that.
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 You can not compare a car that was just tuned to a car that is a full race bred car that was made for the track.
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 Well, how much does an F1 car weight? And how much does this weight? That is why it will beat it. And many many other factors. Slick tires, much lower center of gravity, very great amount of technology, and alot of other stuff goes into play.
No PistonsOct 31, 2011 Begin auto racing you will see insane numbers are not always needed to go faster, and in some cases not as helpful as you would think.
No PistonsOct 31, 2011 Start racing and you will understand. Even in unlimited classes teams do not pursue those number because you don't need 1000hp to go faster. For a more general example take an F1 car, it will destroy this and it only has half the power. Once you..
Ervis AtOct 31, 2011 The power isn't needed lol
Come on now
No PistonsOct 31, 2011 I'm kinda against numbers like this in a racing point of view, it's not needed. The lap time this car can throw down can be match by a car with half the power/torque with the right set up. Amazing no doubt but all that power isn't needed
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 Yeah Sebastian? There is also a reason people go to tracks and practice and learn to handle power.
Just because you couple handle 1001hp doesn't mean there aren't a good amount of people who can.
Sebastian GreyOct 31, 2011 That is just too much power and torque for any normal driver to handle. Have fun crashing into a tree when you lose control because there is so much wheelspin. There is a reason most super cars have under 700hp.
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 Exactly. That is why I love the LS engines. Their torques are very high and stick near the HP numbers.
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 1001 ft lbs. Now that's why you go with a LS. This thing isn't even trying.
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 So pretty much they bored the LSA and made an LS7?
KeRon JonesNov 21, 2011 I don't like that hatchback shape.
Josh HarvlyNov 05, 2011 Isn't Cadillac supposed to be a luxury brand?
Matthew LeonNov 01, 2011 Could've done the to the wagon CTS it's faster than the coupe on TOP GEAR it's was
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 When I was in europe, a caddy was a bigger status symbol that a merc.
Shane HeidOct 31, 2011 @Mario lol Japanese? Well they don't know what theyve been missing!
Stephen CobbsOct 31, 2011 CTS-V Sedan is better looking just sayin.
Pierre E JeanOct 31, 2011 @ Ervis : No we don't love American cars :)
Greg KenerlyOct 31, 2011 I like these too, but from the front. The rear makes it look like a 2 door wagon to me. I've always liked 4 doors on my Cadi. You guys see the XTS concept?
Ervis AtOct 31, 2011 I like the new American vision
For the price of a v you cant get anything close. I drove the v and the e63 both are amazing cars
You can not say that one is better then the other.
In Europe they love American cars in the states they love European
Duncan GibsonOct 31, 2011 The hood intake looks weird...
James DonaldsonOct 31, 2011 I love that color and spoiler on it
Ken MadisonOct 31, 2011 You don't get it Andrew, it's an American car, it'll never be able to handle! Get your head in the game or get decapitated when your american POS crashes!
*sarcasm off*
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 Sebastian just because you wouldn't be able to handle power like this doesn't mean other people can't. It I actually a very nice tuned caddy so just respect it for the work that has been done to it instead of bash it.
Sebastian GreyOct 31, 2011 If that wing wasn't there the diver wouldn't be either. Because he'll have died from losing it and smashing into a wall.
Alex CameronOct 31, 2011 That looks too good right now
Andrew GrimmOct 31, 2011 Connor, that hood has function. 1001 hp produces alot of heat, which needs to escape some how.
Borphan LimthongOct 31, 2011 Looks good. Would like to see it in motion!!
Kent SullivanOct 31, 2011 I like it. When you have a car with that much power it deserves a little more styling than just being blacked out. The yellow is a nice touch
Dennis RechOct 31, 2011 Lose the yellow on skirts and hood.
@Jason SO!!!! it's a commemorative car for something very special. Take it for what it is man dang!!
Hennessey already did this
The car has 556hp/550tq stock
1001hp is nothing for an LS block.
ooooh de car is makring mmm yeees me from china
