TL-S vs STS
Firend of mine at work has got a 96 Caddy Seville STS. I looked up its specs and it looks like its got 300hp and runs a 14.7 in the quarter. He also said something about having the HO motor and that he also has cams. I think the cam part is a lie tho. I got a 03 TL-S, should I take this race?

Yeah, I don't know much about Caddy's but I do know they're heavy...from a dig, I bet you'd give him a good run...
...just make sure to take your audio system out if you race - that's heavy sh!t

You don't have a chance unless you have some boltons and lose the stereo.

Road tests from the period suggest very similar performance numbers and the two cars have virtually identical power to weigh ratios, although the Caddy was VERY over-rated (they put roughly 212 HP down to the ground, which I can prove if required to do so.)
My money would be on the TL, especially since the Caddy is an older car and is probably out of tune and down on power.

The Northstar is a fairly competent if not powerful motor but, in the case of the STS it has to pull 2 tons of car. So honestly, I think a 14.7 might be a little optimistic but
for certain. IMHO, a well driven TL-S should be able to take care of business here.
