Hey Twista, that's a FWD Caddy, you say that the vehicle lunges upon acceleration ?
Is there a delay or immediate acceleration ?

I. DON'T. CARE.
Cadillacs are RWD and that's all there is to it. They do have some FWD models but people certainly don't equate FWD with Caddys. When people think Caddy they think "RWD, V8, boat, torque, etc.". FWD is to be found nowhere among them.
Oh Noes!!!
Oh Noes Again!!
OMG! My Life is overz!
St@b me in the face!
You seem to have overlooked the statement "They do have some FWD models but people certainly don't equat FWD with Caddys." Can we drop this, please? I never said there were no FWD Caddys so what the heck is the argument about??

I'm still alive. I seem to have angered the car gods lately, the 924S transaxle had a bearing come apart in the R&P, so I'm left driving the Mark VIII in the Winter which necessitated snow tires since the Mark just goes nuts at even the hint of snow. The Mark needs a new wiper motor too, and on top of that I can't find a Haynes manual that covers the Mark VIII, just one on the T-Bird/Cougar on which the Mark VIII was based.Originally posted by: Roger
Don't bother Zenm
How ya doing buddy ?
The front end will jerk up regardless of where the engine is. That's a result of weight transfer towards the rear under acceleration.Originally posted by: Flyermax2k3
The front of the car will always jerk up if it's a front engine car. Can you be a bit more specific?
Originally posted by: Roger
No, jags are RWD, but that is not what I am saying, it has nothing to do with what wheels are driven, it has everything to do with low R.P.M. torque.
(That's power right off idle)
Yeah, but it'll still rise some at the front. And Flyermax was clearly implying that rising at the front was unique to FWD cars.Originally posted by: Howard
Viper GTS has a pretty amusing story about this.
Zenmer - if the engine is forward of the front axle, it'll jerk up less.

Both of those sets of specs are for the Jag, neither is for the Cadillac. Seeing as both sets of stats are for the same car, the numbers had really better be the same.Originally posted by: DivideBYZero

Torque is twist, the urge you feel when you accelerate. This is EXACTLY THE SAME on both cars.
So you never said, "The front of the car will always jerk up if it's a front engine car. Can you be a bit more specific?" Oh, wait you did. That clearly IMPLIES that only front engined cars have this effect. I never said you said it verbatim. I said you implied it. And a person would have to be brain-dead not to be able to see the implication.Originally posted by: Flyermax2k3
No, I did not say that only FWD cars will lift at the front end under acceleration. Stop putting words in my mouth, so to speak. And get off my jock while you're at it.Originally posted by: Zenmervolt

Practise.start and stop, theb try a few of putting your foot to the floor(boot it).
Get a feel for the diffirence.
So you mean with the car in Park just push the gas all the down than off than press it softly? I already circled a parking lot in the caddy. Last night while practicing i think i did bad but my father think i did good lol. I just dont like the caddy and the jag. is new which i think would run better for me.

But key in here buddy, it's a jag and beyond that it's newer than the caddy which is probably why he doesn't want you driving it, who cares if it would work better for you.
Aiya, I'm such a hypocrite I drive my dads 98 jaguar . I'm just lucky though cause our other car is being used all the time.

Great. YAEGUOFT: Yet Another Everyone Gang Up On Flyermax ThreadI'm done responding to off-topic posts in this thread. I've said my two cents. If Twista has anymore questions I'll be more than happy to help but I won't be replying to anymore of these "you're an idiot and you don't know what you're talking about BLAH BLAH BLAH DIE DIE DIE!" posts
