Is this SUPERCHARGED Cadillac Escalade a REAL performance SUV?

The Cadillac Escalade is the pinnacle of SUV luxury and size for the brand. The folks at SVE & Dimmitt Cadillac wanted to bring something extra special. Under the hood is a 6.2L Supercharged V8 that is pumping out 575HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find a cat-back exhaust and big brake upgrade kit. On the inside you will still find all the great luxury touches you expect from Cadillac. Is this Supercharged Cadillac Escalade a REAL performance SUV?
