I just saw this article on the Allantenet.org site and thought I would share it with the group. Give it a look see and lets hear what y'all think.

When I first read the article, I remember thinking that for what he put into it (money-wise), I felt he didn't end up with a very hot car.
If Cadillac were to market a "V" variant of the Deville (which I'm sure they will), I would hope it would have more power than Tim's plaything, and be a little less expensive.
Besides, I still have this "thing" about pushing performance in a FWD sedan. I mean yeah, you can make a FWD car go fast but it will NEVER be able to match the handling of a RWD sedan.
The very idea of a high-performance luxury sedan should include an aspiration to world-class road-car handling, not just straight-line go-fast.

Way to bring this back from the dead... Not to mention the article itself was from 2000, and Cadillac decided not to produce it.
