The S71 Olds made the cover of this month’s Popular Hot Rodding Magazine !  There’s also a full color feature inside.  We are really honored to have one of our creations featured in this special issue, along side of some of the coolest cars from the SEMA show built by the best in the biz.  One thing we’d like to point out is that the engine was built by Bill Trovato at BTR Performance (Not Kevin as the mag states, so give him a call if you want your own screaming Olds engine) and they transposed the name to SR71 from S71, but it’s all good.  We’re very proud of the car and our crew, and can’t thank our friends at Popular Hot Rodding enough for the coverage!   Now go buy a copy for yourself… there are TONS of killer cars in this issue!  Contact the V8 Speed & Resto Shop today to learn how we can build YOUR dream car!
We build lots of Camaros in the V8 Speed and Resto Shop, and each is different and unique.
This is an interesting car for many reasons, beyond the 630+ HP GM Performance Parts Supercharged LSA engine. The car features the best of everything… Detroit Speed suspension, Baer brakes, Forgeline wheels, Toyo tires, Hydratech brake booster, MagnaFlow exhaust, and much more. But the integration of the modern componentry goes hand in hand with the integration of the modern styling elements.
A Familiar Look With Modern Design and Performance
The goal for this car was to combine modern Camaro styling and performance with the classic look of the ‘69. Dan Steinhauser created the rendering, complete with a modern ZL-1 style hood with carbon fiber insert and a 3D printed grille.
We performed all the metalwork in-house, including fabrication of the custom hood, and installation of all new floors, quarter panels, tail panel, fenders, and more.
Lou’s Change rides on a complete Detroit Speed suspension front and rear. Deep tubs were installed to accommodate the Toyo R888 tires wrapped around Forgeline wheels.
The engine is a modified supercharged GM LSA 6.2L V8 making approximately 630 HP, backed by a 6-speed manual transmission. The car was sprayed in Mars Red, with a black ZL1 stripe.
It was a feature car at the SEMA show, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, included in the Goodguys Top 100 1969 Camaros at the Camaro 50th Anniversary display, and in Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine.
