Fast forward 30 years and a 1.0L EcoBoost 3 cylinder makes 25 less hp, LOL. Sure it doesn't have the torque of that engine, not even sure what it is actually but the 1.0L Ecobbost 3 pot makes 150 lbs ft.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Did a one step with D166 yesterday to clear up some new car imperfections. Today was a quick Wolfgang waterless wash and then a coat of UFF. Also took off the hubcaps, washed the wheels and applied some UFF to them as well. Going to see if some Forester center caps fit the hubs and I’ll just leave the steelies as is.

Looks like Jay Leno's Garage product in his hand. Was it technique or what with him

Roger,
It wasn't Jay Leno's but he used that balled up super thin towel and kept going from the bumper and lower panels right onto the hood and decklid. The extreme pressure and rubbing he was doing made me cringe as well.

I’ve owned Cadillacs with a 4.1 liter V8, another with a 4.5L V8, then a 4.9, and finally the 32V Northstar V8. [both the 275hp and the 300hp versions]
And surprisingly there really isn’t a huge world of difference between them under normL driving conditions, for example they all fit the bill in regards to driving like a Cadillac should, smooth & comfortably.
...But under not so normL driving conditions, like when it’s time to put your foot in it, the Northstar whoops it’s predecessors in every single way. lol.
I can only imagine what it must be like to put your foot down in 1 of the new V-Cadillacs.

Which model with the 4.5 did you own?
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
