It's front wheel drive.
And I suspect with air struts for suspension I reckon he'll be able to raise it for driving.

edit: Yep FWD Wikipedia Sixth Generation Pontiac Grand Prix

yes it is front wheel drive, and the suspension goes up, my ride height is still very low, but we dont get bothered here

i laughed a bunch with the engine on its side business.

here is a video of the car from 100km/h +

nice mate you get much torque steer with that sort of horsepower?

**soop** · 25-01-2011, 05:16 PM

1/4mile time?

**|<untzie** · 25-01-2011, 07:38 PM

Torque steer is not bad,

10.8@136

**Bizmark** · 26-01-2011, 11:54 AM

That is some crazy power, bet it surprises a few people

car looks great too!

**|<untzie** · 26-01-2011, 01:08 PM

thanks,

and yes suprises lots,

im looking for 700whp out of it this season (a few months from now- winter here currently)

**soop** · 26-01-2011, 01:26 PM

Getting much wheelspin?

Would have thought it'd run slightly quicker then that at 600hp. Though I don't know how the FWD effects it.

**|<untzie** · 26-01-2011, 03:25 PM

I went 10s on much less boost (16psi) I want a 9 second pass this year if I can

**vaxx** · 12-02-2011, 09:27 PM

nice

Biggest problems with fwd is the weight transfer to the rear. Be schmick with all wheel drive

**|<untzie** · 22-02-2011, 12:06 PM
