I was saying more for fwd traction issues. I love the Northstar v8’s, great motor and some of the cars they went in were boss (I wanted an El Dorado for a bit). But if they were trying to appeal to the younger tuner crowd, who I could have seen buying these, it would have done better as a rwd car.
It probably did more than chirp the tires off the line, and it weighs 3700lbs. GM boat ftl.
