I don't think the weight distribution is as bad as you think.
Look at where the front of the engine is in comparison to the front axle center line.
With a stock 302 (iron heads) the weight distribution is something like 46% front 54% rear. The big block is heavier, but he is running aluminum heads. The Factory Five kits set the engine about 2" further back than the original 427's, so I doubt the weight distribution of that car is any different than an iron headed original.
I thought you guys might like looking at something different for a change. 1000+ hp in a 2200 lb car. That's gotta be SICK to drive.

It's probably a safe bet that it's not been run in the quarter. Take a close look at some of the detail work like the polished aluminum panels in the engine bay. Definitely a show car. VHT and show paint don't mix, so I'd guess it's not been down the quarter.

All I need to do is win the lottery to make that one a reality.
