    Dear GAWD.

    No way that Northstar can have any kind of traction.

    Dear lord. That's a lot of engine in front of the front wheels. Definitely cool for being unconventional though.

    He was sketchy on details but here is some of the build. Oh yeah, the car puts down 300hp/320tq. and get unreal gas mileage.

    Cadilliac axles mounted to VW hubs: The Auto/trans also hooks up to the VW linkage



    STS Gauge cluster mounted into dash


    Early in the build. the Northstar is 3ins shorter than a vr6. go figure
