second time I had now got my C32, some dude in a Integra GSR flip a sig-butt at me on the freeway. the sig bounced off my hood and hit the side mirror (there was no other cars on the freeway around midnight). I got pissed and pulled up next to him around 70mph...waited for him to take off and just smoked him.

Ok will the video ever be re-posted? Please. Also isn't the Escalade a 9 second 0-60 car. I'm sorry but even the 330 isn't that slow

The 330i is no sportscar, but its not slow considering only 231 Hp.
Euromags has it at low to mid 6 sec in the 0-62 mph run, that should definatly put in in the low 6 sec 0-60.
So unless the Escalade is modded to hell and back, I cant see it destroying a 330i in anything except the fuel consumption.

Myself and many others on this board are bias towards MB’s, and so I thought this little kill story will please some of you. I was at a stop light when two guys in a late model 330 with aftermarket wheels pulls up next to my lade’, he was eyeing my truck and whispering to his friend, he gave me a look I can’t really explain, but it seemed as if he was brushing me off saying that I was inferior to his holy bimmer. After that I was just saying **** it and as the other light turned yellow I started lurching forward, and wanted to give it a try (people don’t sleep on the escalade it’s a fast truck especially at a rolling start.) At the green light I started a tiny bit earlier then he did, but still I was expecting him to pass me, but he didn’t. At the next red he points to the light and wanted to race again. After the red light there is a slight left turn onto a big straight road ( Tremont street Boston Common ). I was on the outside corner, and we started at the exact same time. He started pulling away, and was like a half of a cars length away, but around 35 I started to gain, and ended up pulling away from him. I looked over, and his friend was flipping me off so I yelled out the window “Your getting burned by an SUV!!!” Afterwards his ******* friend decides to throw a water bottle at my car, and that pissed me off like crazy I was just gonna let it go, but after that I was just like **** it and started tailing him. He was trying to get away I kept losing him on the turns, but caught right up with him on the straights. We somehow made it to highway, and I still was on his tail, there were a couple of sharp turns that slowed me down, but after a little I would catch. When we finally got out of the last major turn I was doing about 45-50 and floored it from there, he was toast. There was a taxi that almost ran into me, and that slowed me down a lot, but after I passed the taxi, I took the dinky little 330 with ease. My friend caught the second half of the race (highway battle) on camera. Sorry the vid is a little shaky. I honestly thought it was a fast car, maybe I was wrong… Plus my escalade is BONE STOCK!!!

Oh and the video doesn't work when I try it so I can't comment on the specific race that may or may not have happened :p

im get freaked out driving SUVs (family has an ML430) because of the body roll, WAY different from my CLK w/ its modified suspension. I feel like i half to go half my normal speed on windy roads or ill flip over
