My Ride: 1998 Cadillac Seville STS

[speedy_2]

Here's the eggnog test. I planned on doing it in the beginning but never got around to it.

It doesn't really seem like he's lying about anything...

ok now thats out of the way.........

[baddabang]

we need a egg nog test to be done or you can order a ucp egg nog tester to come around and do it for you for a small fee (under the table i got a tax problem)

No, what we really need is punctuation

Nice car there speedy, it looks like you take pretty good care of it too. Cadillacs are amazing when they are clean.

Even better Eggnog but dont be hassled by it, its almost mandatory here

Thanks. And yeah, I'd rather just do it and get it over with than hear people whine. lol.

I bought some new tips and had them put on a few days ago. The stock ones were looking pretty bad, and the hanger on the driver side was broke so it looked pretty sorry coming into the shop. But now.....

Very clean car man, are those Corsa tips or knock offs?

I didn't think it was his car to begin with, those photos look like media shots!

Well I wanted to take night shots of my car. But it started drizzling outside. So, I just messed around inside the car. Hand held, press up against the steering wheel. 10-22mm lens

140mph speedo?

Surely that wee beasty can go beyond that. And a 7k rpm limiter...? Hmm... get that bitch tuned up

Great photography. You's got skills, boy. The first photo is awesome, love the 'rays' coming off the dials!

140mph speedo?

Surely that wee beasty can go beyond that.

Many cars have speedo's that are under their top speed, for example my speedo 'only' goes to 155mph, while the car can go about 170 im told.

And a 7k rpm limiter...? Hmm... get that bitch tuned up

*6500RPM limiter if im not mistaken, again because it says "7000" doesnt mean it can rev that higher (with stock limiter), my car also reads 7000PRMs, but fuel cut off is around 6200PRMs.

[speedy_2]

Car is electronically limited to 130MPH. Without limiter these cars can go about 155mph. Also, I can swtich to metric which leaves the numbers and moves the needles. Yes 6,500 rpm is the redline. This is a V8. I don't need to spin the engine to 8900 RPM to make power. I've got 300HP at 6000rpm and 295 ft/lbs at 4400 rpm.

That's a shame Can't you get it delimited...? Here, people get that done to their German cars- particularly popular on the Mercedes SL55 AMG, Audi RS6 and BMW M3.

And as for the V8- I love a V8 that can spin high. Just me, I guess I like to hear an engine sing... although I understand that lazy American muscle is suited to low revs.

Lovely car, though. They sold it here for a while, and people just didn't take to it firstly killed by the fact is was LHD only, and then because it wasn't a known brand...

Why would you want to? The engine is tuned to make its peak power at 6000RPMs, going much higher isnt going to really do anyhting for you. To top things off youd have to adjust the shift points to use those higher RPMs. Hed see a MUCH bigger gain by doing mods like headers, heads/cams, and intake.

Yes, but even with all those mods, it'll still be limited to 130mph

He said that delimited it's closer to 155mph...
