My mom has a 91 (I think) 4.9 Cadillac, it has something like 200 horsepower. Pretty sluggish off the line because of the weight, but it starts to pick up around 30 or more. Anyways, my brother was driving the cadillac and he raced a Beretta Z34 (?) with at least exhaust up a small hill from a 15 mph roll and took him by a car up till about 65.

I'm guessing the car would run like low 16's in the quarter, but I have no idea.

Agreed. First the 135 hp 4.1, then the 170 hp 4.5, then I think there was a 4.7...or was that later...and the 4.9 must have had about 200 hp. 299 cid.
