This Supercharged Cadillac Escalade Makes A Camaro ZL1 Look Slow
It’s time to revisit the age-old, largely pointless but always fun question of ‘can a tuned version of a slow car beat a standard version of a fast car?’
The answer, as we’ve seen many times, is yes. Of course it can. If you put a Dodge Demon engine in the middle of an all-wheel drive Ford Fiesta on racing slicks (now that would be a project), it will out-drag most things.
It may not surprise you, then, to discover that a Hennessey-supercharged Cadillac Escalade, with its extra traction and 800bhp to call upon, can make a standard Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE look a bit silly.
The difference is pretty huge, but to steal a wonderfully mixed metaphor from the classic action parody movie Hot Shots: Part Deux, if the two cars hit a course with corners, the upper hand would be on the other foot.

The Cadillac needs better dampers though - look at it bounce as it launches at 1:04! It’s like a bouncy castle!
That Escalade-d quickly.
Imagine if the FBI gets this done to their trucks…
When you don’t want to be late to that extravagant dinner date…
I thought this only happened in Forza Horizon 3, interesting.
One of the few orders Hennessey did fulfill… was for an Escalade :(
