I'd be interested in discussing the spread of GM technology worldwide and particularly into the premium Euro makes. It seems to be well-kept secret so may not be a robust enough topic.

Also, seeing the K&N ad flashing makes me wonder:

- What can actually be done to an SRX, or any other Cad, that would provide meaningful improvements in horsepower? Does K&N make rebreathers for Cadillacs?!

- How wild can one go with wheel and tire diameters on any Cadillac [but especially an SRX]? What are the trade offs?

- Speaking of tires, do Michelins suck or is it just me? Goodyears, please.

- The other day some show-off had a CTS-V style grill on his SRX. My brother-in-law, the parts manager at a Cad dealer, said they do not substitute because the SRX grill is too wide. Is he correct? Is someone supplying faux CTS-V grills somewhere to fit SRXs?

- What other customizing opportunities present themselves? How about legacy Cad horns, three of them. What a gorgeous noise. You can still order them from the dealer but may have to walk them through it. Believe with the SRX, had to replace one horn and add the third to get the correct chord. Forget now but believe the horns were no longer offered after 1995. I have them on both the Avalanche and SRX. I started this tradition with my '97 Eldo Touring Coupe. I was so disappointed it only had two horns. Huber Cadillac charged me $200 to replace one horn and devise a custom holder for the third.

- Who has the most obnoxious Cad-referential personalized license plates?

Let's see, what else:

I recently spotted a conflicted idiot with an M series Benz cowering behind brush bars and taillight grills. Would an SRX better carry that look? Remember, back in the good old days DeVilles and Eldos sported longhorns.

I think instead of saying "Cadillac forum" help and suggestions, it should say "Website Feedback, Help, and Suggestions"

Just my opinion though.
