Can confirm, had one a few years ago and it was surprisingly potent on woodward with minor upgrades. Superharged 3800 for the win.

That does not look like a 4000 pound car.

Your car is just cultivating mass.

You were a W-body boy on woodward? I’m glad you’ve grown up.

My old 91 Bonneville slow as death but pretty quick when you realized it was 4500 lbs curb weight.

Drivetrain from a Jeep Commander? No thanks.

3,788 actually. Round it up to 3,800 and the car has one liter per 1000lbs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaaa......No. Riviera shared a platform with the oldsmobile aurora. The W-bodies bowed down to ME. And could be worse, I could’ve been one of the fart-can fly bys in a stock ion or civic.

GM had another large FWD platform? I shouldnt even be surprised.

W-body = midsized/stretched to “full” for last gen impala. G-platform (1995-2011) = full sized, mostly luxury cars.

But Epsilon now underpins both mid and full sized FWD sedans sooooo......yeah. Go GM?

The ground turns to slushy mud fast in winter. Not sure about summer. But it was a fun course. If I lived out there I would do that course more often. But since I’m on the west side I tend to only do wintercrosses and do pavement only events in summer.

GM had a bunch of large FWD platforms, the W Body isn't one of them. That's a midsize.

My GM platform knowledge isn’t the best. But I know the Impala is big and its on there.

Good to hear, its the closest to me so I figure its a good one to start at.

Since this is the least snowy/wet spring ever I hoping its dry enough.
