Car Tech forum: MY 97 CADILLAC ELDORADO IS THE BEST CAR EVER MADE PERIOD

A 72 thousand dollar mercedis banz? Mercedes Benz? Your Caddy puts out roughly 300 horsepower (assuming you have the top of the line model, which I doubt). A $60,000 Mercedes SLK55AMG puts out 355 horsepower and an enourmous 376 LB of torque. 80 more then yours.

Owning a mercedes myself it just had to be said. Nice 19's though.

With nitris and a blower it will. But that aside, to me what makes a car fun to drive isn't whether it can "blow away.." anything, because if that's all that matter, I'll be a drag strip driver and none of you will ever touch me.

Speed alone is just a matter of money. Whoever has the most cash to dump into their car wins.

Subaru is an ok car, I get bored with it. If you like it great. But I do love the Eldorado. What a fun car to drive. Roomy, plush, comfortable, yet fast, responsive, and still economical. Now maybe you like your Subaru and hate the Caddy, that's fine. But I'd take the Eldorado over one of those anyday. Girls like my Eldorado better, I'll say that. At work, they always ask to use my car. More people can fit more comfortably in it.

But to each his own right?

BTW, let me make this clear, I only like the Eldorado. The other caddies are junk of the lowest degree... well other than that XLR Roadster which will blow your STI away.... lol (it's a corvette rip off but hey)

You seem to enjoy the thought of hundreds of people getting whiplash as you go by. I find this personally offensive. Whiplash can hurt, and you are causing real pain if you intentionally drive an attractive car past people who have to turn their heads quickly to get a glimpse.
I think it would be more appropriate for you to park the '97 Eldorado in some convenient public place and publish a schedule in the paper of where and when the car will be available for viewing. In between showings, you should transport the car in an enclosed car-haul trailer so that you don't cause traffic pile-ups, rear-end chain reactions and the like. And what if someone already has whiplash or is wearing a foam neck collar when the Eldorado passes by? Some people only think of themselves.
Presidential Candidate John Edwards is right: there are Two Americas. One is the high-stying, profiling, selfish luxury-car-driving show-off Americans (like YOU), and the other is decent, unselfish, ethical, God-fearing, hard-working, underpaid, uninsured, over-taxed normal people. Economic justice demands that you turn your car in at the local museum so nobody will have to deal with jealousy issues (or is it envy issues?). And no fudging on the valuation of the donation either. Just ask the IRS to tell you what value they would give it.

First of all, I appoligze if you found my post offensive and no I do not get any pleasure from ppl getting whiplash. I have had it and "yes it stinks".It's not my falt they turn their heads quickly.So who would you blame the dealers or the ppl that buy them for the Dodge Viper SRT10, the Lamborghini Gallordo and Murcielago or even the Mercedes Benz CLK? I know that when I see one of these cars I turn my head to look at them. Second, I'm far from high class and I "saved" my money to by this car and the acc. I busted my butt to get where I am today.I am the decent,unselfish,ethical,god fearing,hard working,"way under paid", uninsured, over taxed person John Edwards spoke about! Wait I don't fear God!God has helped me get where I am today. As far as publishing an ad in the paper all my money went in to my car. But if you want to pay for the publishing and a place to park it I would be more then happy to let you..If ppl crash in their cars or cause an accident when I go by that is their fault not mine. They should be paying attition to their driving and not what I am driving.

Don't kid yourself. Cadillac may have luxury but they are pretty horrible for driving experience. Sport sedans owners laugh at the CTS as it tried to play with the Lexus and BMW crowd but its handling and engine failed miserably.

No American car deserves "best car ever made" consideration.
