Well i've been building this car for 6 weeks and i'm finally in the home stretch.
The rack and pinion is the only factory GM piece left. Just a quick rundown of the mods so far. Modified front and rear subframe, modified S14 coilovers, modified steering knuckles, modified tie rods, eight point cage, fully seam welded chassis with weight reduction, fire suppression system, electronic damping control, oval tube exhaust, dual rear calipers, hydraulic E-brake, fuel cell, carbon hood, decklid, sideskirts, bumper covers, wing, and front dive planes, modified sway bar and end links, Exedy twin disk clutch, race prepped t-56, accusumped GM racing built LS7 with CNC heads, full Rotora 6 piston calipers on solid rotors, modified front uprights, Sparco Carbon seats, and the list continues. We rented Willow Springs race track for a few days to shake the car down this week. I will put some videos up soon, but i will tell you the car is nothing less than amazing. I've don't the suspension angles about 90% and a few more track days and the new motor, and i think we have a championship car on our hands.







At Willow for the day

Nice! That is pretty bad ass looking! What series will it be raced in?


With all the cool stuff in the pics, believe it or not the thing that interest me most is the hood pins. I've been concidering them but I wasn't sure how they'd look on a car, or how big they actually were until I saw your pics. Do you like them and do you have feedback on them? Do they fit flush or did you guys french them in as they look pretty flush in your pictures.

I will run these on every car i build from now on. You really have to take your time installing them or they will look terrible. Make a template of the outline and transfer it onto the hood first. They are pretty small and look super clean.

The GTO will be in the Formula drift series but was built to compete at Pikes Peak in July as well as time attack events this year.
