Neat idea Nick, but doesn't look like it's 1000 horse fast! In the beginning of the vid, he wasn't walking away from that pickup truck like he was in reverse like I'd think a 1k horse car would do!
I'd rather have something like this
! It's not a Sleeper though!

Those drifters can drive!
Here's just a little preview of what it is:
It's got a GM 572 Big Block in it with a Reallllllllllllllly Nice sounding cam/exhaust setup.......................in a 1993 Caddie STS or DTS (those years all look the same to me) in that Gorgeous Diamond White pearl color Caddie has ! He's doing one SWEET burnout in it!
Wait until you hear that WICKED sounding machine!

that'd be a 2000-2006 caddy deville/dts, in my line of work you learn to know your caddys. That was originally a fwd transverse mounted northstar, obviously its an improvement.
Of course I'm more of a fan of 92-96 rwd's I just can't get into the whole FWD thing but obviously these dudes covered it. just a lil too loud for me......I love loud but in a caddy I'd want a sleeper.

I agree with you about the noise! My buddy sent me that though and I thought that it was just Cool!
Please don't think I'm morbid, but I always wanted to do an old Hearse with a Big, Blown, Nasty Rat motor in it! I'd still like to because it'd be so different!

Have you thought about an F-body? Those cars have TONS of suspension parts available for them and you already know Alot about the LS1-LS2 setups. I think that it's be a match made in heaven!
Just a suggestion!
