Gonzo Engineering - Big Block Cadillac

For some bizarre reason, General Motors, throughout its history, has enjoyed building V-8 powered, front-wheel-drive cars.  This is a compromised endeavor from the get go.  A big, heavy V-8, hanging ahead of the front wheels of a car, makes for dreadful weight distribution, awful torque steer, and generally bad driving dynamics.

Yet the madness continues with the Deville / DTS sedan, which sports a 4.6 V-8 driving the front wheels.  With an ancient 4-speed auto, the car is neither fast, efficient, or fun to drive.  It has its charms, no doubt, but its more novelty than actual appeal.

Well, someone tired of such silliness and asked that their FWD '03 Deville be made into a RWD sport sedan powered by a 572 cubic inch crate motor (9.4L!).  Tallant's Auto, of Kansis City, MO was happy to oblige, and the result is a work of absolute gonzo genius.  Bravo gents.
