There was an article in the old Hot Rod magazine on the old Buick Riviera. It could lift the front wheels. But lifting the front is only visually impressive. The Mustang was a better handling car, for what it's worth back then.

That would have been a trick, as the riviera was front wheel drive, but it was a heck of a car nonetheless.

My apologies, it was front drive later, the Toronado was front drive at that time. My mistake

My neighbor has a really quick mustang 2 with a highly built 383 stroker and a transmission with a high stall speed converter, fun car
I imagine that it’s a beast. Lil mustang 2 doesn’t weigh much. Mines getting a 8.8 rear with 3:73 gears and disc brakes out of a Ford Explorer and an AOD trans. (Automatic overdrive). I’m ‘only’ going to be making about 400 hp but with a car that only weighs about 2650. It’ll be a fun tire fryer that will be driveable if I want to road trip upstate to see bahmer
