Project Chevelle: Episode 2, Part 2

5/15/2018
Add Article To List

Today we put the old Chevelle through its paces to test the limits of the stock suspension and brakes. The good news: we didn't break anything. The bad: we have a long way to go to turn Project Chevelle into a real performance car.

Ride along with us as we do our best to steer our stone-stock '72 Chevelle through a mess of cones and a braking test that tries to kill us. Why? To establish a baseline against which future modifications can be measured.

For more details on our performance testing check out this tech article!
