Look what showed up to the local autocross. Not 1 but 2 500CI Cadillac V8s in Yugo!!!

That guy is the fucking man.

Apparently he used to have a turbo 4 up front and the V8 in the rear, he then changed it to another 500CI V8 for maximum affect!

If I had a jalop-meter, it would have broken. This is insane.

And 8 Cylinders X 2, so basically 1L/Cylinder...
Each cylinder displaces as much as the entire engine in an SE Fiesta...

Best part was, you would hear it running, and then you would hear another starter in the rear and BOOM! The second one came to life.

I want to say this is the biggest big block they ever made, in a road car at least. So I am not surprised. They both sound amazing!!

This car would always be stationary then. . .

There must be some serious reinforcements in that car.

Where is the video? and how did it do?

I think it was pretty fast. Not as fast as a Miata as it turns out but for weighing 4000lbs it did a damn good job, faster than most of the people there.

No what are you talking about? Yugos had the sturdiest of chassis.

Why is a twin v8 awd hatch on the autocross rounds and not on the quarter mile? Still, that has to be some SWEET engineering

I have seen this! Someone posted it on the SCCA INR region page a few months back. Which is why when it showed up nearly everyone at the autocross event walked up to it.

Well, there's only one reasonable upgrade path for this car...
AND THAT'S DUAL LSX 454s 775HP x 2, 7.4L x 2, 7k RPM (but not x 2, because RPMs don't work like that, lol)FRONT AND BACK FOR 50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION TO GO WITH YOUR AWD AND 1550HP, BETTER HP/lb THAN A SATURN V ROCKET STRAPPED TO A MOSQUITO, COME AT ME MIATA AND VEYRON BROS!

And ZR1 wheels too?!?

Now, I have one question to ask you. Is that a small block or not? Cause if it is, deals off. BIG BLOCK ALL THE WAY!

I think you went the opposite direction. At some point you will lose the fear of the death trap, think of drag racing pintos.

......wait...what?!?!?!?!?! Holy. Why is he not putting down quarter miles?
