This idea is so wrong, it's just right. Pat Ganahl and the crew from HOT ROD laid the foundation for this story way back in 1987 when they turned a behemoth Cadillac Coupe De Ville into Swiss cheese to find out how much quicker it would run at the dragstrip.This idea is so wrong, it's just right. Pat Ganahl and the crew from HOT ROD laid the foundation for this story way back in 1987 when they turned a behemoth Cadillac Coupe De Ville into Swiss cheese to find out how much quicker it would run at the dragstrip. The story was called "Caddy Hack," it was published in the Feb. '87 issue of HRM, and we still get mail about it. Then we ripped off that idea in the Apr. '97 issue by doing the exact same thing with a big Pontiac, calling it PontiHack. The mayhem and destruction that ensued during both stories obviously struck a chord with our readers, so Freiburger and Kinnan cooked up a similar plan to put a cheap car on a severe slice-and-dice diet with reciprocating saw blades, sledgehammers, and hole saws. While Caddy Hack and PontiHack were about the quarter-mile, this time we were going around corners.
