Of course it'* still gonna be hard to make that trans hold up to a lot of power. And theres still a ton of custom work involved(axles, blah, blah).

This is why I always thought FWD Bonnevilles were wrong. I've always associated drivetrains with types of cars.
FWD - small economy cars
RWD - sports/muscle/possibly luxury cars
AWD - luxury/off-road cars

The fuel crisis back in the 70'* forced american auto engineers to design more fuel efficient drive trains. The Japanese & European auto makers already had front wheel drive in some of their cars.
