We're finally done for a while. The Denali is officially ours now after some wheelin' and dealin'.

We've spent a lot on cars. Still want that LC500 though, but it's not the end of the world because we already have the SL convertible that looks just as good, paid for.

Not a fan of Raiti, but I do really like the refresh Escalade. The screen and interior is even growing on me.

They need to dump the new 1000hp ZR-1 engine into an Escalade.

People would buy every single one, and god only knows how expensive they’d be.

I guess I could sell my house…

1K HP in a 3-ton+ vehicle? Sure won't win any gas-economy runs.

There you go, Steve.......some potential buisness for you.

I should make it a business model lol

You're right about the fuel economy too. I wonder how the 1,000 hp ZR1 V8 it would run on regular?

I'm thinking about a 40lb/ft drop and maybe a 2 horsepower difference. Apparently, there are some ​​​​​​extremely accurate butt dynos that could tell you for sure.
