 We're skipping ahead a little to post real-time coverage of the GTO build... right now, we're getting the car ready for its first drive on the 2008 Hot Rod Power Tour, and we've got 18 days to make this car a driver! We'll be posting all the detailed install videos of each component we used on the car when they're completed, but we thought a quick nightly update would be cool to share the daily progress up to the first drive. This go-around, the car will be a complete driver with a "temporary" paint scheme, as we don't have time to completely replace the quarters and trunk floor, but we'll hit that stuff after the Tour. However, the chassis and driveline should be nearly completed for the shakedown on the road!

 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.

 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.

 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!

 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!

 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!

 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.
