Kinda cool.

looks like it wont run a 14 but it is a hell of a lot faster than stockeres are.

I have seen or shall I say heard a white one around here, I'd say it was about 2 years ago, right when the box style ones first came out (std SUV not the EXT) I was going west on 36, just mearging off the hwy onto snelling north when it flew up next to me, no mistaking that sound of the spooling turbo and the rather high pitched blow off valve, I know it wasnt a blower by the way it spooled up, windows were way to dark to look in thoe so I have no idea who had it had huge wheels.. pretty sure they wernt spinners other then that stock looking other then being lowerd a bit

For being the boat it is, it sure does get up and go!!

Damn punch...why you post old ass video?

[Sweet35th]

Are those things auto AWD with a 4wd and 4wd low mode? (like explorers) IF so why the hell is the guy yanking the stearing wheel back and forth so violently when he launches from the stop sign when the camera man is in front of him.........If not, how lame that the guy is trying so damn hard to get it to break loose, and it wont..........

[Macs Stang]

hahah yes indeed. looks like he was trying to get the tires to break loose by yanking the hell out of the wheel.

Watch it frame by frame from the stop sign launch. Front end lifts, both front tires point inwards causing what happened.

I was going to say, I've seen AWD guys have that problem if the front tyres lift.

Anyway, Escalade > *SUV, gangsta + turbo = suhweeeeet

Bah!!! I keep looking at it. With the front end design of that vehicle, when the front end lifts, it does cause a light toe in condition. However if anything that truck would have head right for the right hand side of the road because of the agressive crown it is on. Watch the first launch shot of the vehicle in the first portion of the video in vehicle and nothing of the sort happens.
