**update** 1/4 mile video in post #19

My buddy Doug is not your typical go-fast kinda guy...let's just say he's unconventional. Past cars included roots blown '85 GT, '98 triple blck Cobra conv w/ 700rwhp TT (no roll bar b/c it wld look ugly w/ the top down), a Vortech supercharged 300c SRT8 and his first motorcycle was a Hyabusa b/c he didn't want something slow.

His family has grown so he was looking for the ultimate family truckster
but with balls...So he bought a 2wd '07 Escalade, custom built a TT setup in his garage and had it tuned locally.

Build
Twin Turbo Escalade

Awesome build.

I think that Caddy forum is the slowest loading site in the history of the internet.

Interesting but expensive build. Man, 617whp! That's insane for an SUV.

Missed this thread the first time around, but damn that thing is impressive. Any idea how much it weighs? It has to be 7k+ pounds given the times it ran. Awesome DD though.
