DiscoStudd Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Was there even much of an upgrade in the braking between the 00-05 (2G) and 06 (2.5G) models? The brakes on our 04 are light years better than the "upgraded" 1G/1.5G brakes, that's for damn sure! I'm curious to see if the LS4 will even fit under the hood of a 1G...

pwmin Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 it'll fit, well i would think so, anyway. hell, if an L67 fits under a j-body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 how come no one swaps in the 4.9 Cadillac? I'd like some information on that swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 first off, it's a pos. a little better than the 4.5, but still a piece. besides, the L67 has similar power but is way easier to mod and there is a lot more info available.

LukeZ34 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 how come no one swaps in the 4.9 Cadillac? I'd like some information on that swap That was actually referred to the ASG 5.0 Swap. A long time ago (4+ years or so) there was a company called ASG that did 5.0L engine swaps for W-bodies. Here's some old info on the entire swap/motor/drivetrain: http://www.angelfire.com/stars/mycaddy/asg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeZ34 Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Here's the videos I have of the ASG Car that I got to drive back in 2001. http://home.lukez34.com/videos/aaronasg2.mpg http://home.lukez34.com/videos/asgidle.mpg http://home.lukez34.com/videos/asgrev.mpg Ok.. back on track now..

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 The brakes are amazing! I have never driven a W-body with brakes as good as these cars have! Oh yeah I forgot to mention the brakes! I was driving in the parking lot just a touch faster than I should, and this car came out of nowhere so I hit the brakes, damn near put my head into the dash! They are that damn good! (Although I haven't really put the GP GT or GP GXP though the test yet.. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 just because brakes jolt you and feel like they're stopping fast doesnt necessarily mean they actually are. i hate when you barely touch brakes and they jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
