Default Day 2 Video Update

The thrash is on! Big Oak Garage! is pulling off anything that isn't absolutely necessary to make this Camaro go faster around the corners. Thanks Kyle Tucker & Detroit Speed for your help. This '73 features industry leading DSE suspension front to back including a new hydro formed subframe that take street performance to another level.
