All that to get down to a 14.4 second 1/4 mile I think I like my V8 better! But I do like seeing the car cut up.......only wish I was there to do the cutting!

I would have used a torch; and set the pile on fire when I was done. Car Craft did that to a Caddy several years ago. It was a lot faster when they were done with it.

Not sure if this magazine still exists or if anyone remembers it but me but they did the same thing in a Mag called "Hot Street Cars" (the Summer of 1997 issue). They took a 4700lb Chrysler Imperial with a 413 wedge, (with a 17.21 ET/81.05 MPH) cut it up, caught it on fire a few times, and ended up with a 2680lb tire smoking Imp capable of blistering hot passes of 12.77 ET/102.8 MPH
BTW they actually mention the story in HotRod called Caddy Hack(feb. '87)
