This escalade can outrun a 911, and a modena..!! Bloody crazy

[No.1]

What we liked best about the Slade was how effortlessly it put all 700 horses to the ground. With the four-wheel-drive system and automatic transmission, an Avon Lady could launch the thing perfectly. Apply a bit of brake torque, and the LPE Escalade honks to 60 mph in only four seconds, just about half the time a stocker needs. In 11.1 seconds it's at 100 mph, and in only 12.7 seconds it passes the quarter-mile at 106 mph (a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 reaches 60 in 4.6 seconds and the quarter in 13.1 seconds at 110 mph).

Woah :shock:

At $125k it's a bit of a bargain. Fater and maore practical than the Turbo or 360 8)

Fun for the whole family... or just the driver :twisted:

[v0od0o]

OMG!
hehe but I think the avon lady would be dizzy accelerating like that ;)

[sikx5]

hahahahaha....id like to see it take corners like a 360, actually id just be impressed if it can go a around a corner without jumping into a bush.

[Evo]

I would take the car.. I love the Escalade EXT.. Accually we are getting one but not the EXT version the normal one soon.. This would be cool.. LoL.. This blows off any Evo, 911 Modena, Gallarado I suppose . :D .... I know it won't corner as good. and as Sikx5 said it might jump into bush but at least it will eventually turn.

[T-Bird]

the good news is you don't have to have it with the ugly Escalade it works on any GM truck from a standard Tahoe to Suburban to Yukon (Denali also) to Yukon XL to any of the 3 Escalades to the H2( :roll: piece of shit) I'm sure you could get it on the Silverado's too. I personally would do it to a Yukon Denali or Tahoe and black the thing out.

[frua]

OMG :shock: :shock: Those Americans...Next Cadillac to LeMans :lol: ????

[PATo355]

Well ... that is pointless ... i can add double turbo to a 360 and it will outrun an Enzo ... so what is the point ? do not compare Tuned cars with street cars

I can make a Lada with a M3 double turbo engine and outrun a 360 too ...

[ahmedgiyab]

an Cayanne Turbo would disappear in its mirrors.... :lol:

[PATo355]

an Cayanne Turbo would disappear in its mirrors.... :lol:

But its much sexier than the Escalade , and it would be fair to compare it to th Gemballa one , not the Turbo , again you are mixing apples with oranges

[ahmedgiyab]

Yeah...you're right!

With the Gemballa GT700..... :)

[X-ale]

1. Cayenne is fugly;
2. It's better looking than that caddy pick-up shiznit;
3. Weight: 5709 lb ; Mpg: 11 ;

:?

[KaBlookie]

...i almost threw up when i saw that.

see, i'm a purist, and I believe that Escalades arent allowed to have that much power...it's completely useless. and plus, the escalade is ugly as butt to begin with, the EXT is worse, and that thing, with all the junk they added to the exterior, looks worse yet.

i'm sorry, i'd take even a Cayenne S or a Touareg V8 over this thing...

The Cadillac is just a Chevy Tahoe with Caddie emblems , is such a shame !!!

And the Cayenne is BEAUTIFULL !!!!

[RC45]

Let's keep this all in perspective.

Lingenfelter already had this package worked out long before the Escalade came to the market... and during one of it's debut runs, the 4wd chassis let a GMC Sonoma pickup truck run 0-60 - 2.xs.

The package is an awesome achievement that doesn't really have a vehicle to be added to.

So the few folks with more cubic money than know what to do with have opted for this Escalade package.

But, there are just as many "sleeper" GMC and Chevrolet Suburbans with this package under the skin.

Think of it as the ultimate expression of "How fast can you make this car?" "I dunno - how much money you got?" philosophy.

Much the same way no-one really needs a Gemballa Cayenne now do they?

Having seen a Twin Turbo Suburban actually do it's thing on the freeway, the sound/spectacle and instant nature of the power delivery and acceleration is astonishing.

Just remember, if it was not for the engineers willing to pursue such excess, and the wealthy nut-cases willing to spend money on them, all we would have to show for the world would be Golf Diesels and J-body Chrylsers.

[RC45]

3. Weight: 5709 lb ; Mpg: 11 ;

:?

Hey - my car weighs 3100lb and I only get 11mpg... :P

[T-Bird]

like I said before it doesn't have to be done in only that truck it works with basically all the GM trucks that have the 6 liter Vortec V8 so it doesn't have to be in the ugly ass Escalade and I would take the Lingenfelter anyday over the Porsche because no one would see it coming.

[BADMIHAI]

"Bling-bling, yo." That's pretty crazy. I might consider buying the car if:
1. I had every single Ferrari ever made already in my collection
2. I liked trucks and SUVs..... :lol:

[hemi_fan]

Well, all fast cars truely are "pointless"... any car really only "NEEDS" to be able to accelerate to a top speed of 120kph, and it only "NEEDS" to get there in about 15 seconds... People will probably buy this escalade, so that they can say they have the fastest pick-up in town, and it'll still have that "Bling-bling" effect. I mean, id rather drive a 12-second escalade than drive a 12-second mustang... just to see the looks on their faces when an escalade passes by them. lol

[Bling]

speaking of the bling...
screw that truck, ive seen, ridden in faster trucks.

take a dodge cummins diesel 3500 or a ford f250 diseal.
put a huge turbo, bigger fmic, hard pipes, 5 inch dp, 5 in exhaust, spray propane and nitrous and run about 50 lbs of boost.
no im not kidding, ive seen one make 850 rwhp with over 1100 ft lb of torque.
ran 10's on slicks, keep in mind it has a 3500 rpm redline! it feels like a plane on takeoff, that slow pull...but it just keeps pulling...its insane, ill see if i can find a dyno sheet to a truck like it.

Chappie - if you up the boost on the Lingenfelter setup it will and has pushed over 1000rwhp... (in a variety of cars/trucks) that is just the "street friendly" basic package.. ;)

If you talk to the good people over at that shop, im sure you could arrange for pretty much any horsepower rating and 1/4 mile time u could dream of... They will custom build everything to your needs. Plus, diesels sound bad. lol

[arvster]

yo man thats some crazy stuff

You be right, Holmes.

That's probabily also tuned for maneuvrability and to keep the tranny from needing a rebuild every 500 miles or so.

[blinkmeat]

Its still a stupid vehicle

[Zonda11]

OK....cool engineering feat......More practical than a 360, but this thing won't be able to corner and won't be useful as a track day car....so OF course...I'd stick with the 360.....but a 360 cs would be nice. :D :D

I know ur not calling a Escalade with a Lingenfelter 427 TT Engine, pushing out over 700 Ponies, and lbs of torque, a truck that will destroy anything you own, ANd probably most of the cars in Canada, blinged out. Its rides Pirrelis!! for fucks sake.

the tranny will b fine, the one they use , is the same as in the F-Bodies of the past right? Well i know for a fact those can take huge ass HP/TQ. Lingenfelter knows what they are doing. Their 8 Second Corvette with the 427 TT is a auto, i think it might be the same kind in the escalade, but it does 0-60 in 1.8 seconds and still can be driven home and get good mileage.

1. You are right: I am not calling the Escalade "a truck that will destroy everything you own, ANd probably most of the cars in Canada" because it's not. Unlike you, I don't like so lie. Also unlike you, I don't like to use bad grammar and shitty spelling, so I would never write a "sentence" like yours.
2. You don't know what I own.
3. Why are you picking on Canada? Are you jealous?

Put that big American POS on a track with bends against a Lotus Elise (inexpensive in comparison) and see it get OWNED.

So you think tires can make up for the fact that it weighs as much as a house?

[T-Bird]

well you take the Lingenfelter truck (not necessarily the Escalade) and put it against the Elise, The truck can just ram the elise or run over the front of it and finish the lap in anytime it wants. :lol: The point is that this truck would be owned by people that have other nice cars it's called excess.

[schnell318]

Why would you want a car that has more than enough power but doesn´t corner or brake???

Besides, it looks like shit and is probably built like shit too :roll:

[T-Bird]

Actually Lingenfelter doesn't build anything like shit but that Escalade EXT does have a weathewr sealing problem around the folding wall behind the rear seat from what the manager of my local Cadillac dealer told me. But the regular versions of the truck are built just fine. And you have to realize that the truck doesn't corner like shit it's fine and if you actually read the review the braking is close to that of the Cayenne Turbo.

i know you dont own shit that will beat that truck, your only what 17.

[Bling]

first of all lingenfelter doesnt build shit, he passed last year. secondly a f350 or a dodge 3500 is MUCH cheaper to build, mod, etc. That escalade is a pile of shit because of its cost. I was just offering a better, cheaper idea. Sorry if you've never actually done any of this kind of work before. Speed costs money, how fast to you want to go.

And to the person who said that you could prob turn to the boost up more. That block is built. But it still runs of unleaded gas. Unless you want to run c-16 24/7 at $7 us a gallon all day long, you really are going to be limited to how much you can turn it up. diesel's run on detonation. They love boost. And horsepower isn't what moves you car, torque accelerates. I doubt that escalade could ever hang with a 850 horse diesel pu. IMO of course.

[blah]

yes i agree its cheaper for the F-250/350/ Cummins to run. I agree with you on all those points. The turbos are extremely powerful when modded, and one chip on a Dieseel can add up to 150 lbs of torque. Ive seen on the Show trucks this guy mod a F-250 Powerstroke, with like 4 mods or so, and the thing was hauling ass. the man one was a Chip, and i think he hadded a bigger intercooler, and maybe some headers and exhaust, and boy did that thing haul. But Lingenfelter does still makes performance parts, and mods performance cars and trucks. John maybe dead, but his legacy and company live on.

[T-Bird]

Well Lingenfelter is still around just because he died doesn't mean the company did OR is Henry Ford still alive? maybe him and Enzo Ferrari are hanging out at Lingenfelters pad in Indiana right now :roll: And you don't have to have the Escalade that has been stated a million times now you can buy a much cheaper Tahoe or equivalent. Granted the Torque may not be as much as a Diesel but a Diesel running that much power is alot hotter, burns alot of oil and drinks gas like an Irishman on St. patricks day (I'm Irish) The lingenfelter can manage to keep all of that at a reasonable level.

[jorge]

It´s an excess.
Ridiculous vehicle. :|

I am the "oen who said" you just turn up the boost.

And I am correct.

There are quite a number of 1000hp LPE TT engined cars and truck around.

You are wrong.

I am correct.

I haven't had a good "factual overload debate" in a long while - don't tempt me.

temp gimme a break man. i drive a turbo car everyday. i hang out/work at 3 different shops in atlanta. i've probably been in/around more horsepower than you could conceptually think of. don't tempt me? whatever man. let me explain a few things to you, mr. 3000 posts.

turbos have an efficency range. pushing a turbo past a point still makes more boost but that extra boost doesnt matter because it is essentially blowing hot air that the intercooler cannot comensate for. furthermore, MY POINT was that a escalade block, built or not, cannot take a HUGE amount of boost. Yes it could probably take enough to make over 1k hp. You push the boost to so much of a limit and your going to start seeing through your block really quick. Beyond that, my point was that a diesel truck would eat that thing for breakfast and I wasn't really impressed, especially with the price.

tempt on that.

Wow - perhaps you need to give Lingenfelter a call and tell them they don't know what they are doing and that all their 1000hp TT cars are badly designed as some yahoo with "i drive a turbo car everyday. i hang out/work at 3 different shops in atlanta. " says so... :roll:

IF you knew as much as you claim - you would know that LPE base their over-the-top TT packages on various C5R and LS6/LS1 block build ups.

You would also know then that LPE carries a great reputaiton for doing what they do very well - build superbly powerful and reliable GASOLINE engines that can and do produce crazy power.

Who gives a shit if a diesel pickup will "blow it away" - the point of the vehicle in quesiton and the post and the package is to have a superfast SUV that has slow speed manners of a pussy cat.

Evidently you do not know everything - now do you?

I have a very good friend with one of them there turbo diesel pick-me-ups and dang it sure kin run real good when he turns up the boost... ;)

[fabro_s]

Lingelfelter makes great chevy cars, the lingelferter corvette makes the 0-60 in just 2.9 sec, makes the quarter mile in 9 sec its a really really crazy car, so imagine this Escalade, I thought the Cayenne Turbo was crazy, but I think this Escalade its more crazyyy :twisted:

[Bling]

riight, now im a red neck. please. rc-45 your lack of knowledge is okay in my book. i saw a twin turbo ling z06 this weekend. sick ride. but my point was that the escalade wasn't that reliable, didn't make that much power, and cost SHIT TONS too much.

your the moron that goes to road atlanta on ferrari track day and wonders how a civic can beat them around the track. money is not always what you need to be the best. that was my point.

WTF are you on about?

When LPE builds you a C5R block based twin turbo - that' what you get.

WTF are you on about an Escalade not being reliabel?
