Replying to: kirstie_h (Jun 08, 2004 4:15 am) Can Cadillac compete with Mercedes?   Not with a blown 4.6L Northstar. That would be the equivalent of Mercedes slapping a supercharger on their 5.0L V8 in the SL. Instead, Mercedes added a supercharger to a hand built 5.5L V8 from AMG, and they also offer a V12. It's about time for Cadillac to build a new high end engine. It's time for a V12. Replies to this message: mbukukanyau (Jun 29, 2004 12:12 pm)

GM is setting up a new facility to build the supercharged engines for the V-Series and other low-volume performance engines such as the V12 for the Escalade. Power from the Supercharged Northstar is much higher than most reports have indicated, and truly competitive with the new 5.0 L V10 BMW and Audi engines and AMG's new 6.3 L V8 Replies to this message: dlydrvr (Jun 25, 2004 8:33 am)

Replying to: thegriffon (Jun 24, 2004 4:01 pm) One benefit of the supercharged Northstar is that the XLR will maintain it's big weight advantage over BMW 6 Series and Mercedes SL55 and SL600. However, Cadillac will have a tough time changing the minds of potential Mercedes SL customers with a supercharged 4.6L Northstar. They would have a better chance with a more exclusive motor. Cadillac will still find enough sales for this venture to be profitable.

Replying to: dlydrvr (Jun 24, 2004 12:34 pm) I always thought it to be a question of how many horses they can get out of the engine. I suspect they could get up to 500 from the North star. But soon they will have to up the Ante on the displacement to something like 5.2 Liter or more to stay competitive. Cadillac also has a lot of work to do developing new transmissions with 6 and 7 speed applications, different from the vette’s 6 speed application now used in the CTS V. Otherwise they will be like the under appreciated S type R.

That defeats the purpose of this board.   Also, posting your e-mail address on a public message board guarantees that you'll get more spam!   kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host

The bigger wheels/tires really do help the look out a whole lot. This might be what the XLR lineup needs. Watch that price though.   M
