STS-V Goes Down!!!!

[greatone61]

I was in ABQ today to play some volleyball (No I'm not ghey)....but I turned left onto the frontage road to get onto I-25. The lane I'm in merges into the one to my left with an open one next to that one, and guess whats next to me!!! A Cadillac STS-V!!! Anyways the light before the merge turns red, and both of us are next to each other...the passenger looks at the truck makes eye contact but just keeps lookin. I on the other hand am waiting so I can take the lane to the left to get on the highway. Light turns green, I take off and so does he! He moves over one lane to the left as do I, 1st gear we're neck and neck, 2nd gear I instantly put about 1/2 a length and keep pulling! Once I had about 1 1/2 lengths on him he shut it down....I can't say how much this DC PCM has helped the truck, it is badfrigginass!!!!!

Good kill.If memory served me right the STS V is 440 HP and around 4400# .He should have a second on you based on weight but you have maybe a 100HP difference.Good kill to be sure.

At first I thought I'd instantly lose because the truck kind of bogged down when I took off....but I guess it was A Okay!!!

This opens up a newbie question....My Charger SRT8 will smoke the rear tires w/o brake torque...my STR10 will not even chirp the tires but will spin them at the 1-2 shift...wish the SRT8 had the SRT10 A/T...anyway, is it the norm that the QC will not break tires lose w/o brake torque?...

One nice thing/ and bad thing about the RC that you can light them up even when you don't want to...

No "Smileys" on quick reply. That's why it's quick.
