2009 yukon denali quarter mile time

[Dr. SS]

get a ML63 AMG if u wanna go fast in a SUV. i have a 09 that puts down 434 awhp and 407 awtq with just a tune. i will be putting long tubes on it soon. if u gt a 2012 ML it has the M167 twin turbo 5.5 L with just a custom tune u get 150hp an 150tq above the rated 500 horse.ridiculous.

Coming from a MB family I very nearly bought one instead of the Tahoe, but it's a lot smaller and we couldn't live with the room. The GL450 was OK, but didn't have the power to go with the price. The GL550 was a toss up with the Escalade but even more money. The wife also deemed the Escalade to be a bit "ghetto".
Then I found a 6.2 Tahoe and jumped on it. Now you can get a GL63!! I thought horsepower was history by the time we hit the corked up, smogged down eighties.

That's a Turbo, and not even a new one. Those are in the 12's (no BS 500 HP and 500+ ft/lb.), I drove one 2 weeks ago. A GTS is not turbocharged, but makes at least 400HP, has 4.10 gears, up to 8 gears in the auto, and weighs at least 200 lbs less than a Denali/Esky/Tahoe 6.2.

article is from Aug'12. Not sure how it's the old one. Point was if the turbo isn't doing it the gts sure isn't.

As long as it can do it reliably. Same article showed MLK63 running 12.6@113. Point was phantom just put down a quicker time in a blown 5.3. It can done in our trucks for a lot less.

You might have gone that fast with those mods, but all you've ever seen of a Porsche Cayenne GTS in a race is tail lights unless the driver was just messin' with you.

If your source for timing is a magazine, then we are wasting time arguing for nothing. I’m not trying to sell anything here, nor need the attention. I’ve seen Cayenne turbos at the track making low 14’s all night long, but no 13’s. A Cayenne GTS, is no challenge, at least for my Denali. But a AMG ML55 that IS another subject, fast as hell…
Just for reference, I recorded this video from my Denali. The cars you will see ALL have 550whp or more.

I won't argue with anyone who won't face facts. You may have outrun a GTS, especially an older one, clueless driver, who knows, but I call BS on keeping up with a Turbo. As far as "magazine fast" goes, the first Google search I find for a 2011: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2011-porsche-cayenne-turbo-test-porsche-cayenne-review Says 0-60 in 4 flat and 12.4 @ 113 in the 1/4. They are that fast. Drag Times has several in the 12's and a couple older non Turbo ML63's at low 13's/high 12's. New ones are MUCH faster. I don't know if your track is at 8000', those Cayennes were broken, or maybe you're the only one there who knows how to drive.

You also don't know much about MB's. ML55's were not that fast. I know, I had one, but they stopped making them 10 years ago and they only had a normaly aspirated 5.5 V8 with 355HP. An ML63 will run circles around one.

This isn't a dick measuring contest. I like these trucks, that's why I've had a few including a modded 6.2 Tahoe pretty much the same as your Denali, but if you want to play with the big boys (X5/X6M, AMG's, Turbos, blown Range Rovers, especially new ones) you'll need a blower. If you guys think you can add 100-200 HP to these trucks and talk reliability, I've got some bad news for you. Yes, it's cheaper to go fast in these trucks, but you hope to keep up or out run STOCK factory hot rod SUV's, and then with a few mods, they will eat your lunch anyway. It would take mega dollars to try to make a Tahoe/Denali outrun these and have the handling, braking, and reliability to go along with it. Relax and enjoy the truck for what it is.

Well i guess thatvshut them up,lol

I didn't join thIs forum to talk MB. They are great vehicles in their own right. We have options to beef up our trucks and that's what im doing. Until we meet and put money on it, God bless him.. I'll let my pushrod 6 litres do the talking. No point in continuing the conversation.

I never said I have taken a Cayenne Turbo on a race, I said a GTS (I haven’t raced a Turbo…yet!). I really don't care if you believe me or not. When I mentioned ML, I meant the ML63 sorry for the confusion.
Denali vs SRT8:

Here is a fun video of a Denali vs a Cayenne Turbo S:

Here is another where they are both modified:

If anybody asks me, those Denali’s gave a hell of a run IMO…
Maybe those guys in the other “Big Boy’s SUVs” where clueless drivers also?
You insist on using magazines or google for reference, that’s ok, your time, your fun cyber world…
I'll be where, (like you said) "the big boys" are, having fun, on the real world...no need for google, dragtimes, Car&Driver or you to tell me who is faster or who I can beat on a race without actually doing it.
Have a nice day!

Do that.

You said you have nothing to prove, but post a vid of some illegal street race showing several cars taking off and leaving you far behind. Not sure what that was showing us or how we are to guess how fast your truck is based on how many (or few) bus lengths they put on you for who knows how far you went. I quote drag times because those are actual 1/4 mile times coming from real tracks.

Now we have a bunch more meaningless vids of something modified VS something stock and nothing of actual 1/4 mile track races. I especially like the "Kuwait" video of the Denali leaving the line WAY before the Cayenne but then it blows by the Denali HARD shortly thereafter. By the way, the "Turbo VS cammed Denali" video is NOT a Turbo, there are no headers for a Cayenne Turbo (cat bypass pipes/mufflers only), and the Denali gets the jump but lets off as soon as the Porsche starts to go past. Once again, all from a roll.

I'm done now, have a nice day.

That’s right, I have nothing to prove, don’t sell anything, just giving my honest experience with my SUV to the forum, I just informed another fellow member my ¼ mile times with my mods (which is what the thread is about) and the list of trucks I have had fun with (to give examples), and for some reason you appear looking all over the internet trying to make me a liar. I provide with videos of other people having fun with other trucks with some mods, demonstrating the potential, but you have issues with that too. You then say that the videos are meaningless, and then go on analyzing them, funny. If there are no headers for the Cayenne, then go and write the guy who uploaded the video and correct him. Tell him all those details that you have learned using Google. Funny would be that they were custom made, but that would be another story…
If you understand that it’s a waste of time and money upgrading our SUVs performance wise then don’t click under the PERFORMANCE tab, your blood pressure will be more stable. Stick to exterior mods, etc. and leave alone those of us that want to have some fun with our trucks in and out of the track.
