I need help! : Cadillac or Porsche?

[actgfin1234]

Before you answer, these cars are both in very very good condition, the Porsche engine was just completely rebuilt and has no miles on it, and the Cadillac only has just over 17k miles.

So the big choice...

2005 Cadillac CTS-V (http://www.dragtimes.com/images/9701-2004-Cadillac-CTS-V.jpg)
The beast supercharged V8 luxury sedan

or

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (951) (http://www.ridejudge.com/rides2/22257.jpg)
Don't let the year fool you, nothing on this car except the body has been there since '86


To get an unbiased opinion, I'll leave out some of the details.

I know I'm going to get some answers from people who know nothing about either car, and I'm willing to answer questions about either. For reference though, I know a lot more about the porsche.

[elimination]

Pick the caddy!
Or you will find a pack of wild hungry dogs on your doorstep!

<.<

[S3RO]

Caddy, and buy a glass cane and purple hat to compliment.

[Sacred Silence]

Cadillac. Nuff' said.

[*Sanosuke*]

Porsche I always thought built pretty damn solid cars. Cadillacs are really reliable from my experience driving/riding in them but maybe its just me. I'd go with the Porche just because of your knowledge about the car.

[actgfin1234]

this is one of the toughest choices I've had to make. I really really like both cars. The porsche because it's rare to find one in such good shape.. It's bored to a 2.7 from a 2.5 and it's got a super 75 turbo to replace toe stock KKK. Though if anything does go wrong in the porsche it'll be expensive to fix....


Both cars are putting down 400HP minimum.


argh....

[elimination]

If ya can't decide get a mustang!
I love em'! >.>

[The Butcher]

You would. :rolleyes:

[R G]

I think you should take a took at the insurance costs. Honestly I don't know which one is higher, I would assume the Porsche simply because it's a turbo and well it's a Porsche....but then again it is much older so it could be a wash. Next I would consider the cost to repair....In that case I would suspect the Porsche to be higher.

Considering all of those factors the most sensible choice would be the Caddy, but when it comes to cars usually sensibility is thrown out the door.....In this case take the Porsche.

Hope I helped ya! :)

[actgfin1234]

ehh... I've had multiple mustangs...Plus mustangs are becoming mom cars.. everyone's got one.

[elimination]

You would. :rolleyes:

lawl how did you know??!:eek:
Beter not be stalking me now!:rolleyes:

[Wizzy`]

Mommy and daddy buying it for you?

[The Anti]

Dude I'd definetly go with the Cadillac. If it were a newer Porsche, then I'd take that one, but for now the Caddy.

[actgfin1234]

The mommy and daddy you would be referring to....

The mommy who's filed for bankruptcy but still did her best to raise her four kids, and did a damn good job at it? Whom now I share every penny I make with?

Or the alcoholic father who's in rehab now because he tried to kill himself over losing his wife and his job and falling off a ladder at some dead end construction job and breaking 10 ribs.

I'm just curious if those are the mommy and daddy that you think are going to be purchasing a vehicle for me.

No, wizzy, contrary to what your small, simple mind might be able to barely conceive, some people in this world have done something with their life, and made good financial decisions allowing them to purchase something they want. Hell, they might even have been saving for it!

I'm sorry to throw a thought this tough for you to comprehend your way, but rattle it around in there a little and I'm sure you'll get it if you try!

Go get'em tiger!

[BaxVarlet]

Cadillac, it has four doors.

[Wizzy`]

Haha, oh the irony. If I would have posted what actg did, I would have gotten a MUCH vulgar response... Only difference between his story and mien is that my mom is the POS and my dad tried...But whatever lol TAO will be TAO..

actg, I'd get the Porsche for the simple fact I HATE 4dr. However, if you prefer 4dr or don't have a preference at all, go with the Caddy. The chicks will dig it more and it will be easier to fix. Just know that if the Porsche and Caddy are pushing around the same hp, the Porsche will still win, albeit by a car length or maybe more.

[actgfin1234]

the porsche will definitely blow the caddy away. it's way lighter and isn't limited. The porsche is noted for it's speed from a roll... it's disgustingly fast stock. Stock HP is like 215HP and this one will be 400 at LEAST

[CPC]

That is one ugly ass porshe, absolutely take the Caddy. Comfy, decent looking, newer, more likely to get laid in that one than that specific porshe.

[Godmic18]

That is a tough choice. If you plan on having somewhat of a project car and plan on doing some racing, the Porsche would be a good choice. Otherwise, go with teh sexeh Caddy. You can fit 4 girls in it, maybe more. ;)

Never get a Mustang.

Dude, dont encourage him to drag a porsche...whats your problem?

Says you.:bigsmile:

[Hatchet Klown]

Are is there even a small chance you'll have kids in the near future (few years)?

If so, don't make the same mistake I did and buy a 2 sports car for a daily driver. Kids + G35 coupe = bad. I don't think a porsche would be much better. I ended up trading it in, so plan ahead.

If that's not a problem, definately go Porsche.

[actgfin1234]

1. Drag racing is definitely not the only type of race there is.
2. anyone who knows about porsches knows they aren't made to drag, they're made to run on a track, and they do one hell of a job doing it.

You'd think some people never even heard of Le Mans

[Godmic18]

Is the Caddy a stick?

[actgfin1234]

right?

God this choice is so tough...

I've never owned a porsche but I've been researching the hell out of them the past few months..

I've had one caddy before and the electronics went to shit. although it was a 93....

so tough

[Jeffery]

No, it's not.

As to whcih car....

What do you want to do with the car?

[actgfin1234]

Is the Caddy a stick?

Yep, 6 speed.

[I MaFiA I]

Any racing besides drag is pretty gay though...

Drag racing = 0 skill. You simply press the gas,and maybe shift gears.

Try a good old fashion rally race sometime. Think of it as a giant zig-zagging drag race that goes for 50miles.

But then again,you don't know how to drive a normal car, let alone race one without crashing.

You're an ignorant fatass that doesn't know a damn about anything. I was obviously joking with my previous comment (although I do prefer drag), whereas you felt the need to say it takes 0 skill.

Do us all a favor and kill yourself you fat ass good-for-nothing pussy.

[Jeffery]

I took it "with 0 skill"because thats what you have. You've proven it time and time again kiddo.

Tell you what,when you grow up, learn how to drive,and don't go around wrecking your mommies station wagon, then come backand talk about what youknow about driving,let alone racing.

[Hatchet Klown]

The only skill in the 1/4 is building the car...

[Blexican]

if i can remember 944 parts are hard to find and expensive. I was looking at one and my friend who makes cars his living told me to look on.

[mushroom_girl]

Yugo.

Which has a Warranty on it, and if you drive like Mafia go with the Cadillac. The Porsche may be rebuilt but the Cadillac still has the state of the art safety system.

Ahh again with the petty insults. If I wanted to I could do the exact same thing you did. Watch.

I took it "with 100% bodyfat" because thats what you have. You've proven it time and time again kiddo.

Tell you what,when you lose weight, learn how to eat healthily,and don't go around gnawing on everything in sight, then come backand talk about what youknow about eating,let alone health.

eat healthily?

Really?

You're the healthiliest retard I know, true story. What does weight have anything to do with your terrible driving and misconstrued concept that drag racing itself requires skill.

Now what have I proven?
You proved yourself not only unable to drive (wrecking a ca5r within a day of getting it) but unable to not reply to me (within one day of saying you would ignore me and never reply to me again).

Seems to me you've proved several things today.

1) You're an idiot while driving
2) You're an idiot while posting
3) You're an idiot

Proof of this?
1) you wrecked a car within a day of getting it
2) You posted this, expecting to get some kind of Kudos
3) While no concrete evidence of your over all idiotic nature has surfaced, the circumstantial evidence of you being an idiot in everything else highly points this out.

When i was obese, my shoulder muscles were cloaked by the fat on my body. This is all I am saying before I get negged :*ph34r2:

Please, continue pwning yourself kiddo.

I don;t mind being called fat. I'm happy with who I am.

[Hatchet Klown]

The fact you posted right after me, and you know I have a wife/kids, leads me to believe you were.

[Godmic18]

Act, after thinking about it a bit I think I'd go with the Caddy. It should be fun to drive and has the style. Unless you plan on doing some racing.

[actgfin1234]

I'm starting to lean towards the Caddy too, but the porsche would be SO FAST... aghh..

[Godmic18]

Do you plan to drive it fast all the time (all being the few times when all the parts are working, and it's not in the shop waiting on a part you can't afford)?

You can dump a governor easily enough BTW micdog18.

I was obese, like what, 2-3 years ago? Then I decided not to be a fatass snoring-while-awake slob and lose the fat. I'm now under 20% BF and still declining, maybe you should follow suit asshole.

It's obvious from here, but you ever ask yourself that?

It's not a double post. I just refuse to contaminate replies to actual people with anything mafia related.

[actgfin1234]

Lahl. Thanks for that dragtimes site...telling me what i kinda figured. But I think i need to drive both of them for comparison... Time to head over to a cadillac dealership.....i mean...as soon as i leave europe..... Fucking BMW's everywhere like hondas shitvics... Can't escape them....not even nice bimmers....fucking 88's.....ugly headlights...

[R G]

It's really not a governor as much as a program in a chip. From what I have heard most GM cars have some kind of a chip that will prevent the car from going over a certain speed.....and of course this chip can be replaced or in some cases reprogrammed.

[Godmic18]

Test drive em! Whichever one you crash is the winner. I promise I won't flame you for it either.

[actgfin1234]

I'm really leaning towards the caddy. Having previously owned one, I promised myself I'd get another one some day... Maybe the day is coming.

I can't wait to test drive it. The last car i test drove was the mazdaspeed3, and that was tons of fun

[KBHoleN1]

It's really not a governor as much as a program in a chip.
Which, by definition, still makes it a governor. Whether it be mechanical or electronic, it's still a feedback device that regulates speed.

[Jeffery]

Not once you reprogram it. ;)

[KBHoleN1]

Haha, yeh.

[R G]

Which, by definition, still makes it a governor. Whether it be mechanical or electronic, it's still a feedback device that regulates speed.

I guess you are right. I always considered a governor as a mechanical type device to control speed and a chip more of a regulator.

[actgfin1234]

Well after a lot of thinking, I decided against both of them and went for straight up class instead of all speed.

Good choice, to me that porshe looked like a piece of shart,sure it's a "porche" but it looked bad for a porche.
