1966 GTO Part 9: Air Ride Suspension Install 1

This GTO is going to be driven hard, so the suspension system needs to be up for the task of not only handling well, but it also needs to have a smooth ride.   To accomplish this double-duty trick, we chose to install an Air Ride Technologies Street Challenge System.    We saw this system in action on a '66 Chevelle on an autocross track and couldn't believe the performance... flat cornering, predictible handling, and a smooth ride all in one.  The Street Challenge System containes everything you need to transform your car's ride and handling,  complete with upper and lower Strong Arm control arms front and rear, tall spindles, Shock Wave air spring / double adjustable shock combination units, Muscle Bar sway bars, Posi Link endlinks, AirPod self-contained compressor / controller / air tank, Level Pro ride height sensors and control unit, keyfob remotes, air lines, and more.     This time, we're installing the front suspension componants. 


 
Inside Formula 1 Development
Throughout the Formula 1 season, engineers continually search for innovation to improve the race car's performance. As well as an exhaustive development program at the factory, Panasonic Toyota Racing visits tracks around the world, including an air strip on Menorca to test aerodynamic and reliability improvements to the TF108.   It must be nice to have the resources these guys do... F1 never fails to impress.  

 
Somernites Power Cruise Part 1
The summer cruising months are nearly here, and there are all kinds of great cruising events to join.   One great example is the Somernites Power Cruise, and event that leaves from several cities in the heartland of America and converges on the small town of Somerset, Kentucky.   We rode along starting the Cincinnati, Ohio, and cruised in one of the best cruising events in the country.   The Somernites Cruise happens every 4th Saturday from April through October, and the Power Cruise - with the driving component - occurs in July.     This is the first of a 4-part series covering the Somernites Cruise.   You can join this year's cruise... it's free, and you'll find more info here!

ZR1 Corvette Hits 205 MPH
The Corvette Development Engineering team took the new ZR1 to the test track in Papenburg, Germany and put the
pedal to the metal to see just how fast it could go.    Come along for a 205 mph ride!


 
1966 GTO Part 8: Ceramic Chassis Paint
After spending time reinforcing the GTO's chassis, we shot it with a new paint system from Eastwood.   The base started off with their high-build 2-part catalyzed Epoxy Primer, and then we topcoated it with their new Ceramic Chassis Black in the satin finish.    We used a 3-gun DeVilbiss Startingline HVLP spray gun set to lay down the chemicals, and the look is outstanding.   The Ceramic Chassis Black also has a very high chemical and chip resistance, so the look should last for a long time!

 
1971 Olds S71 Rear Suspension
The rear suspension on the Olds "S71" is designed to keep this car stuck to the road in the turns, and provide smooth articulation.   The Global West Negative Roll rear suspension makes it happen.

 
Clean '69 Camaro Has The Look
Bob Chiluk's 1969 Camaro is built with Pro-Touring style, but it's subtle approach is what makes it stand out.   The Fathom Green exterior makes the white stripes "pop," and that's where you start to see the details creeping in.     Bob nailed the stance with the Intro Speed Star wheels, and the built small block has plenty of power to shred 'em.    Shot at the 2007 Run Through The Hills event. 

 
Killer '66 Corvette Shreds Autocross Course
We spied this 1966 Corvette at the Run Through The Hills event last fall, and although it's not 100% completed, the owner was having tons of fun with it.   Powered by an LT1 350 Corvette fuel injected engine and sitting on a newer C4 Corvette chassis, this car really burns up the drag strip and the autocross.   In fact, it won in both events!
