Hi there,
jesterday I made a 500 mile trip to Duesseldorf and Cologne and in the factory I was I meet a guy from Frankfurt and he asked who drives this Cadillac out there.
I told him it`s mine and he asked a lot of questions but best was, he was on his way home too (about 200 km - 120 miles to Frankfurt). So we went together on the autobahn, traffic was heavy but on some parts of the 3-lane autobahn we could really let our machines run.
His s 500 isn`t a slow car but he couldn`t hold up in any acceleration with my XLR.
Through three road constructions which allows only a top speed of 80 kph (50 mls)
he catches up to me but when the construction ended and we step side by side on the pedals I just walked away from him. On a long open stretch, I´ve had mine to 290 kph (180 mph) I lost him out of my rearview mirror.
Short before we reached Frankfurt on a speed-limted part of 120 km (75 mls) he closed up to me and he gave me a flashlight passed me and went out to a rest area, I followed.:thumbs that`s what he gave and he told me he will replace his 02 Jaguar with a new XLR.
The 200 km took us about 1 hour. His 500 was 3 month`s old and has the 5.5 - 388 hp engine in it, it`s named in the US S 550.
Times Cadillac couln`t hold up with the big Europeans are over since the 93 Northstar came out.:flag
