.... that was a pretty close race though, and the SUV does leave the like first

 

[utryd2]

That's awesome. Hold on kids haha

 

[radioguy6]

lets see how well the escalade does on a road course.

Agreed, the caddy does leave first.

But damn I bet thats a lot of money to make that land yatch move out as fast as a stock GTR

Id like to see the GTR tow a boat or car.

I am going to go ahead and say that I think Hennessy is going to discourage towing with that vehicle now.

I also like how they kept the stock exhaust. Serious sleeper status

 

[JDHedman]

Thats awesome.. just needs some 24s lol

Pretty cool I love when people spend a lot of money keeping the "sleeper" look. Instead of it being a piece of shit like most people do for their "sleeper" look, it is otherwise to most people, even gear heads, just a stock junk Escalade.

[willizm]

Is it just me or does it seem like they left the line slower than a mid low 3 second 0-60 should show? I hate cut video's. BTW, I want a 1k HP escalade.

Agreed... Although with the pricey GT-R trans, and the abuse that a 1000 hp motor in a 5700 lb truck would put on a trans, I'm guessing they both did a soft launch and leaned into the gas a bit so as not to have transmission parts scattering in the video. This video was just a demo/commercial, and not what they probably did during actual performance testing, IMO.

I think I just found a replacement for my Trailblazer. Now if I can win the lottery I can afford that Escalade.

 

[CrunkMaro]
