Interesting read to say the least.... you would never think a car of this age, look and power is dragging the rear wheels along unpowered!

They are a cool looking car, especially when you see what Jay Leno did to his one, it's totally awesome.

This drag car used two of its drivetrains (supercharged) installed in a Cutlass, to become the World's first 4wd drag car. It could do a 4 wheel burnout all the way down the track.

loads of cadilacs were designed front wheel drive with limo conversions in mind right from the factory...... they're able to have a propper flat floor, as well as not needing massive driveshafts
