"10 Mustangs / DP's and why not?

Ron Ortiz · 11-10-2010, 09:13 AM

Why is there no classification guide for Cadillac's beyond 1990.

I think that the new CTS is probably underfactored the same way the Mustangs and DP's are. It would probably be another class killer.

Any info on this matter?

Don't tell everybody about that combination.

Dave Ley · 11-10-2010, 03:02 PM

Probably because Cadillac hasn't submitted any specs to Glendora.

Woodro Josey · 11-10-2010, 03:26 PM

Yes Ron, Dave is correct, if the MFG does not send in the specs to NHRA, doesn't matter how good it looks, they will not accept it and after this long of a time, you would never get them to do it!

Take a close look at Intake & Blower it is almost out of air no mater how fast you spin it. The intake port in intake almost has to make a 90 derg turn before it goes in to the cylinder head

Ahh, Blue Oval Ralph, you are an inquiring mind into the "guide". Thank you for the info, and thanks Woodro and Dave.

Are there any good combos for Cadillac, if they submitted specs. Could you not acquire them "ala, special limited production parts" for say, maybe, a class advantage. Somewhat similar to comparasion of Ford's horsepower provided ratings.

Just seems to me that if we are going to go with the "future", we might as well invite everyone to the party.

Ron I can see you in a 1959 Caddy convert. Red with a white top and gut.With a Panama hat,Hawaiian shirt and sandals making time shots.Living la vida loca.

You could use a 1959 Caddy for a tow car.
Your Gremlin would fit in the trunk, wala no
need for a trailer.

Hey Ortiz, what are you doing? Do you have a plan to steal my wife's car and turn it into a stocker? You know.....she can take you, don't you? She's alot meaner than she looks!!!!

Ron Ortiz · 11-12-2010, 01:36 PM

Don, she has to be mean if she's married to you..... Like that one Billy.

I was just inquiring why there was'nt that many Caddys out there when their commercials boast how powerful they are. And it does not take a genius to figure out the correct compensation needed to acquire the "correct" HP rating. I can see it now...."in todays news, officials at a large motorsports sanctioning body recieved CTS's for their transportation needs. Upper management were awarded XLS's. Meanwhile in another related story, technical field workers were allowed to loosen their hand restraints when inspecting products from Ford or Chrysler."

Ed, can you attach dingle balls to a convertible when the roof is down? As far as a Hawaiian shirt, no, maybe a shirt that reads " I (heart) Beer" or " I (heart) Hot Moms"
If you have any Hawaiian shirts contact James Perrone, I believe he lost his at the Gators.
