Kevin and his crew are deep into the details to make sure all our subsystems (cooling, ecu, wiring harness, etc.) will play nicely together when assembled. We're also waiting for ordered parts to come in to move the mock up phase forward.

Amidst all of that, last weekend he took me for a ride in V8TV's latest major build, a 1968 Camaro named Reloaded.

What a treat. This car is especially nice in terms of fit and finish. I was impressed with lots of little details like how solid the doors felt and sounded when you shut them as compared to other first gens like mine.

The suspension and ride was impressive to say the least. It has Detroit Speed's enhancements to the stock subframe and their QUADRALink set up in the rear.

Reloaded rides like a daily driver with virtually no rattles or squeeks and can literally throw a person out of the seat if they are not strapped in and paying attention. I was impressed with the way there was no perception of lean in the turns.

Seems like every time I hang out around Kevin I get to ride in another awesome car. Very fun.







There are tons of pics of the "Reloaded" build here:
