1968 Caddy Cadillac Eldorado 472 Big Block Burn Out Launch

FWD suck dick. Why would you want one, they are no fun at all !!

[TheDullahan]

@73Datsun180B The '67-'70 Eldorados were extremely fun. I am sorry you are so under privileged that you have never owned one. Biggest production V8 in history for a reason.

[brapboys503]

@TheDullahan Hmm, I disagree? 289, 302, and 351 Ford, 305 and 350 Chevrolet, and 318 and 360 Dodge HAS to have them beat.

[TheDullahan]

@brapboys503 380? That's great, but we were talking about big V8's here. 360? Hell, even my little tiny Ford Engine is 460 CID, so it;s got your 360 beat by a hundred inches. The "little" Cadillac engines were 472 CID, but the standard engines were 500 CID. In retrospect, your 360 is tiny now. In fact, I have never owned a car with an engine that small, except for one 307, which was immediately swapped to a 500. Lulz. I didn't even know dodge made compact cars with V8's in them,

@TheDullahan I prefer smaller big blocks from Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors.

[73Datsun180B]

@TheDullahan I think you are far too inbred to even begin to know what fun is lol. Honestly what a fucking piece of shit! It must be the worst handling car ever made with a B/B mounted crossways and the fucking piece of shit battles to even get one wheel smoking with all its stupid 472 cid. For gods sake, even the British haven't make such a useless piece of crap. I think you should go kill yourself, that would be "extremely fun"

[thelaneman]

I used to do that shit in my dad's 1973 sedan deville when I was in high school back in the 80's, I would have been cranking some OZZY or TWISTED SISTER or DIO or some shit like that and then before I took it home I'd fill 'er up with 60 cent a gallon gas. I then would walk to a freind's house, get drunk, eat pizza and watch NIGHT FLIGHT while his mom was working third shift. My GOD, I think I just had a mid-life crisis!!!

first popular domestic fwd, i.e, the end.

[cad70dy]

I bet it was a lot of fun... I own a 1970th Eldorado with the 500ci in it. Its dificult to start fast without burning the Tires because of torque and HP. But i drive it slow and carefully most of the time. It keep running over 40 Yaers now and it should run many Yaers more.

[scott93257]

I had a 74 Sedan Deville.. with the 472..That fucker could roast the tires ALL day long... I would take it to burnout contests...People would see me roll up in a quiet Caddy.. the first time I did...Everyone in the parking lot bet $20 that my car couldn't smoke the tires the least little bit... in taft it was all we had to do... That night there were around 40 people there...I showed up with 20 bucks and left with $800. can't smoke the tires? YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT...

[syd1v1]

Gotta love the old frontwheel drives (:

[A1L3]

the 472 was mighty the 500 was only good for 1970 the rest lost a considerable amount of power

[rompn4x]

I dont care 525 ft lbs of torque is mighty fun!

[scott93257]

@rompn4x

OH YES IT ISSSSSSS

[iilovepepsii3]

eldorados are fwd not rear wheel

[45Coltreloading]

A standard cadillac in the day would have been rear wheel drive.

[318Captain]

Look it up....its fwd

[69acoustic69]

@45Coltreloading ur retarded...

[45Coltreloading]

bug off piss ant.

[goodfellas337]

impressive for a 500cid sitting on the front wheels of that boat lotsa power

[Fleet472]

The '68-'69 Eldorado had 472 cid engine; the '70-'76 got the 500.

[renizer]

do not confuse a lack of traction with an excess of torque :D great ride man!

[scott93257]

@renizer

That's ALL torque...Well said my friend, Well said...

[BeboAltizer]

i didnt know those were front wheel drive

[stratfordbaby]

I'd say you had a bit of wheel spin there... :)

I was reading somewhere that occasional heavy acceleration is recommended to dislodge any carbon build up in the exhaust system. I've been meaning to do something similar once I'm back on the road in my 71 eldo coupe. Nice vid.

[911SHIZBO]

@stratfordbaby ahaha, funny comment.
