Re: V8 RWD cars
Lincoln Towncar, Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria, Ford Mustang, Ford GT.
Chrysler 300 series, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger, Dodge Viper, Chrysler Crossfire (No V8 Though)
Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac CTS/V, Cadillac STS/V, Cadillac XLR/V, Pontiac GTO.
I think thats a pretty definitive list of American RWD cars.

Those two cars aren't even on the same PLANET as each other in any way I can think of right now.

Re: V8 RWD cars
Lincoln LS is actually a very good car.
I drove one on a trip from San Diego to Phoenix and back year before last when my Z ripped up a clutch. It's handling was shockingly good, it had far more power than I thought, and it was extremely tossable. It never missed a beat (except it's speed governer
).
Shame you can't fit a DOHC Ford engine in these things. The older Cobra engine in these things (or even a good 4 cam Lincoln Mark VIII engine) would probally make these things scream.
