About the Escalade 5.7 V8 Vortec (255 Hp) RWD
The original. 255 hp from the 5.7-liter L31 Vortec, a 4-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive. It was a Yukon Denali in a nicer suit, and it didn't try to hide it. The specs were modest — 0-100 in 9.5 seconds isn't winning any drag races — but the badge moved metal. This is the one that proved the concept.
