800hp AWD Cutlass! - vs - 800hp Jeep SRT-8
This extremely unique, home built ALL WHEEL DRIVE AWD Oldsmobile blew up the Internet in the past with it's infamous Driveway burnout... we ran into him at the I-29 Dragway No-Prep Race to see it in action! This machine packs a MEAN punch with its stoker 6.6L F1-A Procharged LS2 powering the all-wheel drive system put together with parts from a Trailblazer SS and a Olds Bravada.
Another impressive street machine we found at the race sported a 392i power plant and an identical F1-A Procharger laying down a similar 800hp punch but in a much heavier (by 1,000lbs) body. We joked about them lining up after the race if they didn't draw each other, but second round of the race it happened!!! From the stats, the Olds should have won, but the NASTY launch of the Jeep and top end pulled on him, and he later found a mechanical failure on the Jeep, the race sure was a sight to see and we're hoping to see them pair up again in the future

You are correct in making fun of his "extremely unique" statement (without googling it [cuz that's cheating] unique is defined as one of a kind, or more accurately one of a kind in a special and desireable way which makes the descriptor 'extremely' in front of 'unique' redundant) but I personally have never heard of a G body utilizing a true AWD setup (G bodies stuck on top of 4x4 truck frames are not the same). Is there more out there?

needs a better converter and up the gears to 4.10's like the TBSS had. even on a short tire the 4.10's worked great on my SS with a 3400 Vig. that's cutlass would fly with a gear change.

I personally never pay attention to G-bodies, not my cup of tea, but a quick Google search shows a lot of interest in AWD g-bodies with no one else doing it. So yes, it's definitely unique until someone else executes the same feat.
It apparently runs 10.7s @130, so it's definitely ******* quick. Don't know about 800rwhp quick, though.
