I was on a road at a light and an old man next to me at the light had dealer papers on the car. It was not the new ones but no older than 2000. I went on green and he floored it then I floored it. I was about a half of car length in front and by 60 mph I was still a half a car length. Dead even no one pulled,l I shut it down, radar went off. I was pissed all day because an old man in a cadillac almost took me.

maybe he had a CTS-V, debaged.....otherwise I feel you pain,I hate it when old women/men try to jump out ahead like that.i had a minivan,try that out of no where..so I dusted that soccer mom

It was not a de-badged CTS-V because a CTS-V would absolutely murder a TL.

It was an older version, not the newer ones. A typical old persons luxury car, but fast as hell. It has to have that northstar motor in it because it was fast as hell.

The STS had a 300hp Northstar V8. But the acceleration numbers on it never indicated it would be much trouble for a TL, especially not one with mods.

I was checking them out on the internet and it was a DTS newer model... 300hp with 273 trq. The torque explains why it was so fast. I agree with ^ and still stunned.

I beat the DTS model you just described from 25-95 with my stock 02 TL-P. At 95 he passed me pretty easily, though. Shouldn't be able to hang with your TL too well unless it was just because of his off-the-line advantage.

I agree those caddy's are very heavy, but do have a lot of grunt at higher speeds.
