Escalade Performance Check and Transbrake Attempt
At 14:30 in
North Carolina Winter Storm: LSXcalade and Monte Carlo Snow Drifting! (Rev Limiter On Everything)
What happens here
The driver of the Escalade reveals that the vehicle is running on E85 fuel and requires fine-tuning, making it temperamental in cold weather. He shows the engine bay, which is surprisingly clean despite the snow, thanks to effective inner fender design. While attempting a transbrake launch (a feature that allows maximum power delivery from a standstill) in the Escalade, the system fails to engage properly. The driver explains that the transbrake is designed to deactivate above 5 MPH to prevent accidental engagement during movement, and the speedometer was falsely reading 10 MPH due to the snow, hindering the launch.
Goal: Evaluate Escalade's cold-weather performance and attempt a transbrake launch
