1968 Caddy Cadillac Eldorado 472 Big Block Burn Out Launch

Just showing what the caddy has for power. I know there are tons of other cars more powerfull, just not everyday you get a roll on a 375 hp 525 ft lbs toque front wheel drive car from the 60's. I think the 40 year old hard bias ply tires may help make it look more powerful then it is. Please excuse the camera pointing at the ground at the end. My 8 year old boy was helping film and didn't know how to shut it off.

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

Gotta love the old frontwheel drives (:

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

@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.

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

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!!!

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.

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...
