ah man nice calais, i like my calais, so much luxury with the sport ability

in my opinion the v8 calais are like a dark horse, people just think they are like an old person car and dont give them much of a chance until you smoke them...

so whats it dyno'd at by the way????

Thanks for the comments everyone!

The dyno result was not as good as I expected (although I am not complaining):

251hp
665lbft
at the wheels.

The fuel consumption is pretty good too. Have been hovering between 15.8L and 16L/100kms when granny footing. This is in traffic conditions.

The best thing about this car is the low grumble when idling, or under moderate acceleration (full throttle acceleration just makes it scream for a few moments and then I have to let go).
