All that work and they skipped on the V8. The reduction in mechanical advantage due to the length of that driveshaft probably requires a 5.10 rear end ratio and a pumpkin this big to make up the difference:

Yup was thinking the same thing.
I bet that transmission is already shot.

Couldn't believe my eyes yesterday!! On my way to work, on I-80 (exit 240) heading east. On the west-bound lane...a stretch-limo Summit white Camaro!!! Wish I had a pic to share. It all happened so fast!

None of this makes sense. the power of the town car limos were under 250hp. There is more than enough power in the v6 Camaro. Can just add a tranny cooler and you are set.

Many people who rent limos want to be noticed. You'd be noticed in that one. Sure looks easier to get in and out of the back seat than a regular one...
