But WHY?

I must be too young to see the appeal of a 572 ci engine on an overweight car that is undriveable except on a drag strip.

I love it...

I'm not usually a fan of stuff like this.. but a 9.4 liter crate engine stuffed in what used to be a FWD Cadillac is just entertaining. Props to the guys who put that together.

That engine sounds so healthy, no effort at all to spin the tires. If it didn't have that cowl hood I think I'd like it even more.

The DTS is the only Cadillac left that is STILL FWD. All others are RWD or AWD.

Ahh, I stand corrected, I was thinking of the old STS vs the new STS.
