CTS-V vs C63? You know you guys want too!
That C63 would get smoked....

Welcome to the TEAM! I would have liked to see the V vs. the 63. Love the Escalade though, I've been toying with the idea of replacing my armored Land Cruiser for an armored Escalade in Colombia.

Welcome. Wifey drives an Escalade ESV. She loves it (except when parking it). It moves out pretty good for a vehicle of its size.

Seriously? A base C300 versus a 400+ V8?


Take on the C350 with 302hp and see who smokes who. Make it a real challenge.

better yet, put your money where your mouth is; Escalade versus a Mercedes GL450.

Your drivers needed helmets and Nomex to run a quarter mile? Really?

Just to be fair run it against a GL550, V8 to V8. Better get your Nomex (flame) suit. MB lists the GL550 at 6.4. You list your Escalade at 6.8. And in the end your still driving a Cadillac. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Enjoy the depreciation.
