Brett Evans wanted to build a car that does everything. It had to have dragstip guts and the ability to stick in the turns. After much thought, Brett decided on a second-generation GM F-body for the car. He located a clean 1970 Trans Am clone, which added another dimension to this project – it wasn’t your typical Chevy. Even cooler is that Brett is running a Pontiac engine to power this project. A dual purpose car with Arrowhead power – Splitter was born. Discuss this project on the V8TVForum!

 Splitter is all back together and it was finally time to take to the streets! Brett Evans toured us around with the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am clone through some quite backroads, but it's hard to be inconspicuous in a borderline race car! We'll be at the track soon to get some real numbers, both at the drag strip and on the road course.

 In order to compete with Project Splitter's 850 natural horspower, we need to make sure this thing stops. In addition to Baer hardware at all four corners, a Hydroboost booster from Hydratech will provide the clamp to bring this monster to a halt, and fast!
