Yeah, but the TL looks way better than any Caddy (except the XLR with the top down).




And Acura is going AWD with their future cars...how can anyone not see this?

i just skimmed through this huge thread. looked up comptech's site & it looks like they're still selling the S/C for $5,000 with a minimum purchase of 3 of them! (it wouldn't process the order w/ 1 or 2) I don't know if this is accurate. I'm calling CT tommorrow. Anyone know if there are still any new S/C's out there?

I know what you are saying...but the supercharged caddy is also like 500HP and would eat my lunch I am sure.(they now do a supercharged caddy in STS, CTS, and XLS) That was my point...although I was a cadillac man before I got this TL (98 DeVille....not the old Brougham hoopty you are thinking of...lol....that doesnt count, I just got that to go motocrossing in because I got it for cheap cheap).

I'm assuming that's a SC on the V series, which for the CTS is an LS2 engine...very easy to adapt parts to it from the Vette.

Operators could avoid a lot of unnecessary phone calls if they posted something on the webpage about it

I just don't understand why they are closing the doors of a profitable company??? Why don't they just bring in a new management team?

In all honestly though, how do we know the company was profitable?

Any supercharger owners have the 2 piece tool that was supplied with the kit, used to compress the fuel pressure regulator? I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to let me have or borrow it. I will pay for shipping or pick it up myself if around the L.A. area. Thanks!
