I seem to remember that from a photographic perspective, The Challenge prefers cars of bright colors (not black or red.) Yellow FTW?
Seems like solid credentials:

Holy understeer, Batman! I wasn't expecting THAT when I scrolled down to see the photos!
Wheels are all wrong. With the remaining $213, get some steelies, paint 'em yellow, cop some Baby Moons and a case of beer; Viola! People's Choice!

That was my first car, a '76 Coup de Ville! I don't know why they have that tach there. I usually just used my fuel gauge as a tach with that 500 c.i.d.

I would bet that there is a lot of room under that hood for some nice big turbos. Let hilarity commence!
I'm pretty sure those cars have a boost friendly compression ratio stock.
But that color is blech!

The entire car should be repainted to a tribute car.
But, in interest of preserving the over the top paint job and within budget, the rear quarters should carry a full bodyside logo:

I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to eat a whole bottle of mustard.
Cadillacs should be comfortable - this looks painful.
We spotted this at a McDonald's in Glasgow, Montana earlier this month - this is the comfortable Cadillac you want to cross 500 miles of Montana in. One finger driving at its best.

Agree on painful but note that they have been mounted in a way that still gives you power adjustment!
good thing fuel isn't part of the budget....
