First of all, your (I'll refrain from added descriptors I'd love to add) Caddy doesn't weigh any 6000 lbs unless it's a hearse
Well you nailed it. 68 M&M hearse to be exact, and i know exactly how much my car weighs. Its no lightweight. Had it down to just 5500 once with the interior gutted to sheetmetal and the bench seat.

74 Dodge 4x4, yanked the 360 2bbl and installed a 440, essentially the combo would be equiv to stock 440 magnum. It would STILL kick your Caddy's ass, and got nearly 14 with the gearing in the p.u. in 2x4 and hubs kicked out
I'll take that race. I said it was slower than the Charger, but its pretty damn fast for three tons and highway gears. I'd put it up against any stockish 6000lb rig that isn't a diesel. I bet your trucks got a lot better gearing than my deathmobile.
I know we're not allowed to admit other makes are fast on Moparts, but i think the guys on a Caddy forum would take issue with your comment. Caddy's are kinda like Buicks... the math is just different.
All in good fun, huh...???
