I just picked up my mom and was heading back home when I get a stop light. I am in the middle lane and there are 3 lanes. so I see a cadillac deville from the left turning all the way to the right since it was open. I knew he was going to race me. I put the o/d off and turn off the AC. The light turns green and he jumped me by a car lenght so that I am at his rear bumper. as soon as my car switches to 2nd gear he comes ahead of me, so I am gaining at him and i turn into the left lane and so does he. I turn back into the middle lane and floor it. I look at him and he is looking in the rear view mirror so I pass him. so now he is now where my rear bumper is and I guess he saw me that I passed him, so he floors it again and I let him get next to me and give him a thumbs up and he just turns into a plaza.

I can't belevie that I got burned by a cadillac deville. I just got my engine IMRC cleaned yesterday and still lost. :Bang :Bang :Bang :Bang Is some thing wrong with my car? I feel really depressed that I got beat by a Deville. Just wanted to let you know that it was a 2000-2005 deville and i was drive my mark VIII. It is all stock.
 
i am ashamed of you man

naw not realy shorry joking LOL

its cool next time get a chip get it tuned
and kick his ass
 
It was either your driving or your car - Ive beaten a deville before.

Of course, I got my a$$ kicked by a camero LS1 last night.
 
i got beat by a ford windstart ones LOL
i think its couse i didnt have a chip and a tuneup it didnt wana pass 110 wihtout stuggling
 
what should I look for in my car that would be wrong. what can I do to make it faster by just replacing like, filters etc.
 
first few things i would do is
tune up

- make sure the plugs and wires are new and fresh
not old

- get your self a chip from SCT or similar chip
flasher

-if you dont have them get speed rated tires

-new air filter


for starters

my mom actually races more then me but I actually drive like an old man.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE STOCK 0-60 MPH OF A MARK VIII?
 
You have a base Mark VIII. If you had an LSC, you'd have left that Caddy in dust. I killed an STS a month ago on 93. He couldn't even keep up...

I also nailed my neighbors 00 DTS. He got an excellent start and I thought he'd have me. But once the runners opened, he hadn;t a popsicle's chance in hell...

does LSC an Base makes that much of a diference? The LSC got 3.27 vs 3.08 and a true dual exhauts. I think it would be cheap to go the dual because all you need to is take the Y pipe off and lead two of each to where they connect to the muffler. How much does the 3.27 gears cost and how would you install them. I just want my car faster then atleast a deville.
 
Drop a set of 4.10's or 4.30's in the rear and you'll beat the Deville just fine :gr_devil:

believe it or not you will not notice any differance between 3.27's and 3.08's.
 
I don't want to put a new driveshaft If i get 4.10. I think an intake should help alot so which should i get?so I guess the dual extuah is the only thng it help on the power, right.
 
Dont feel so bad, I got beat by a chevy. BTW It was a FWD supercharged L67 Monte Carlo that runs 13.8's. :slam
 
hey i know our 95 contie are like 7.7 i think that the marks is like 7.4 man you have a 98 yeah i think its 7.4 man

dose anyone know what the gear is in the 95 continental
i know that im pulling 1900 RPM's at 60mph not shure if that helps but do you know the gearing on a 95 conti
 
haven't got to race any caddys yet just mustangs , camaros, vettes and ricers
all of which are fun to beat :waving:
