Default 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

It's not extremely unique.

Never seen a AWD 800hp Blown 6.6l Olds before so it's definitely unique.

You're right, it's unique. But it's not extremely unique.

I'm guessing you've seen at least 10 800+hp AWD Olds?

I don't think you're getting it. What's unique mean?

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 tried to make it subtle, rather than taking the **** Grammar route and straight up call it out. Wanted to see if people would catch on themselves.

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.

Locals the srt gets down with street racing frequently, I don't see the cuttlas around much. I didn't goe to this event, I went to the very first no prep event though. This was there second ever. Huge turnout, racing well into 2-3am.

There's a lot of G-Body cars in our state would blow those 1/4 mile times out of the water, with RWD and way less power.

I'm surprised Happy hasn't tried to sneak in an AWD setup on his machine lol!

Are those cars full weight or heavier with a/c full interior, nominal geared street cars?

I'm going to guess no on the A/C part and as far as weight they have fiberglass hoods (cowl induction as you could guess), but I guess that doesn't make it a streetcar anymore?
