Ok weird because I saw that video for the first time yesterday and thought about posting it.  ???

We did have a guy who regularly autocrossed his Lincoln MkVII, no Caddies though.

That's cool.  Wonder how the driver stays in the seat!

If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.

The guy really did a good job, because those old Continentals steering was so light it was as if the wheel was simply not connected. Absolutely no feedback of any kind. The car was well over 4000lbs and damn near 20ft long on super soft springs with no anti-roll bars in back and possibly a small one in front.

Since it's the same engine as the Mustang Cobra, I had all the engine bolts ons.  I had it lowered, and had Cobra R wheels on it.  Was actually a pretty sweet ride.
