This is completely off topic but Mosler (the company that builds the
butt-ugly but seriously fast Raptor) builds a car they call the TwinStar.
It is a late model Cadillac Eldorado Coupe with two 300 HP Northstar V8s,
one in front and one in back.  The factory performance figures are just
shy
of completely ludicrous: something like 3.7 sec 0-60 and 200 mph top
speed
(if I am remembering correctly, I can't find their web site again).  I
can
see the 0-60, maybe.  But an Eldo is brick and I _think_ it would take
more
than 600 HP to make it go 200 MPH.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
