Jesus, read a few reviews.. look at trap speeds. -
@ocnblu, never forget and always be careful, OR ELSE!

I have not but it runs like an EcoBoost with a twin scroll, very quick spool up and runs out of steam up top because it’s made for a thick, beefy torque curve. Personally, I was okay with the ATS, CTS, XTS and I’m fine with the CT#, I just don’t like how close they changed them(then again the CTS has been around for quite awhile). I hate the trunk number system even more until they have a full EV where it makes sense.

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM

Holy SNAP! @ocnblu, do you even REALIZE how lucky you are?!? You better say your prayers tonight because you got luuuuuuucky! Obligatory alternative fuel GIF for relevance. -
Because Cadillac completely botched their naming system, AGAIN. Don't throw a "V" on something with a diesel-like power band(exaggeration). This is a stellar base engine that could be tuned down 'because hierarchy" but V still means sport, just like the V-Sport of old.
-
Yeah, it's a great daily engine but not a sporty engine, like most EcoBoosts. If what I read yesterday I comprehended, it's a similar situation to a twin scroll, minimizing lag to near zero.
-
While I know what you mean, wouldn't the shape of the curve of the 2.7 not really be all that suitable for a sports sedan(in a sporty spec)? Bunch of low end torque and looses steam up top(like many of EcoBoosts). I'd wager very rarely, same as any vehicle with this kind of performance monitoring. They produce really cool information but I doubt many actually use it all that often. I'd also say that the very few who do track their cars, would use it every single time.

Hard pass on another Nissan.

Uhhh... It sure was. Also, your lack of creativity isn't surprising. Your "comebacks" are the same exact words...every time.

It's just unfortunate that they chose to share an engine specifically designed for truck use, to be in their luxury sport sedan. It isn't that it is tune-able, it's that it isn't refined enough for luxury sport sedan-use. "I wasn't going to describe it as such when Cadillac admitted that the turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder comes from the Chevrolet Silverado pickup, but then I slid behind the wheel and hit the start button. The largest four-cylinder engine on the market starts up with a grumble, like a teenager being dragged out of bed at 5:00 a.m. I'm not kidding, on startup you can feel the torque twist the engine in its mounts, a sensation that reverberates through the car – it's uncouth and unacceptable behavior for a car with a luxury badge. So, yes, this is a truck engine, even if it smooths out at idle." https://www.motor1.com/reviews/428474/2020-cadillac-ct4-v-first-drive/ Mercedes makes REAL trucks. I will certainly agree that any company would be stupid to not want the success Ford, GM, and Ram have had with their trucks. Great margins, great profits. I know I've said it, maybe/maybe not here, that the C8Z is going to seriously hurt feelings. The C8 Z51 is already putting dents in serious super car territory. I'm stoked for the Z06 and/or ZR1. I was literally never talking to you about this. I responded to David. Classic Surreal, nutting all over a thread.

I really enjoyed the first handful of seasons, before it got all soap-opera-y.

Minus the dry humping. This entire time I repeatedly mentioned I was not taking anything away from the CT4/5-VB. I clearly was just saying the CLA45 AMG was not the Benz to knock on, NOT that they don't have vehicles to knock on. I've also repeatedly hated on their garbage-@ss looking GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe, AMG or not. No, I do not love their entire lineup but Yes, they have a lineup that only BMW can compete with as they have legitimate high end performance variants from the bottom to the top, something Cadillac can only dream of. Instead Cadillac drops a truck engine in their sports sedan(yes, at the press release of the 2.7 Silverado, they said it was a dedicated truck engine). "Standard on LT and RST trims, the new engine delivers an SAE-certified 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque, for 22 percent more torque than the 4.3L V-6 it replaces. Developed specifically for truck applications, the new 2.7L Turbo inline four-cylinder engine delivers peak torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm"

Yes, Yes I know this already. Scroll up to where I pointed it out to David. This is exactly what I said, smk didn't mention Maybach first.

It's always ironic when somebody tries to talk down upon a specific brand calling them your "fav." all while dry humping another brand whose spiraling in seventeen different directions.

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
ccap41 replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
I've heard(so don't hold me to this) that they have ways to de-ice them like airplanes but if this is Texas, they likely weren't prepared for such a situation. -
Again, I never said WHY you brought it up or where else it was brought up, just that you brought it up HERE first. I'm not sure how or why that's confusing or why you're defending that. It was like a week ago, nobody cares.

Outside of the MachE, I thought range increased with all EVs as it yielded more regenerative braking. I believe all Teslas with AWD has longer range than their RWD models. -
That's still not Rolls or Maybach. I never said WHY you brought it up, just that you brought it up before smk.
