my father just bought an 06 Cadillac XLR-v roadster...the thing looks fantastic and the whine from the supercharger sounds great...just for fun we took it out and my 06 Z to see what would happen...of course I was destroyed (s/c V8, about 440hp) but one thing I did find, the Z handles alot better than the XLR

 

i have never been a fan of caddy's although the v series does seem promising. Good death although it was to be expected. For the money he spent on it i would have gotten something else

 

I love that car. Mainly because I dont get to see them that much. But the outcome was expected.

 

PICS.....

I smell bs

 

What does that car cost? Somewhere from $85-$100k?

 

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO 440 HP

let's see some pics of that beast

 

i thought retail was aroun 100-110k, deff not worth the money, buy a Z06 and slap F/I on that and you should still have money left over, and a lot better ride.

 

You can buy a Z06 and trounce the V stock. I wouldn't bother Fi'ing a car that does mid-11's in the 1/4 stock. Whats the point really?

 

the point is to make it go retardedly faster than 11's.....mmmm now thats nice

thank you, well put...

I'd rather have the lower $ Chevrolet Corvette version.

 

Personally, i think ita a fugly car. Vette is by far a sexier beast.

 

I love the V-series for the caddy's, especially the STS-V. I love the way it looks, nice death.

 

ill put pics up as soon as i can...

Z06 is alot faster and alot cheaper, but how many vettes do you see everyday? IMO, the XLR looks alot better and you barely see any of 'em...regardless, ill post pics when i get a chance

 

XLR is a sweet looking ride. However, I would still take a Z06 and the $$$$.

 

I saw a the coupe in Oklahoma City with $100k sticker

 

what the eastern car handled better than an american car NO WAY

 

XLR does have some pretty clean styling, but if I were to pay $100k for a car, I'd get something else (pony up a few extra for a 997 Turbo).
