Default WHOOSH! Driving the S71 Turbo Olds Video

The goals of the "S71" Olds project were to build a car with great driving / handling capabilities, run an EFI turbocharged OLDS engine, incorporate some new technology, but still resemble the original look of the car. This one was one of the most fun cars we've built. Here's the final feature video, part one of this 2-parter dealt with the final assembly and ISIS, this one has the "WHOOSH" driving shots that make us giggle.

X2 Kevin.

Sounds like it's a great beast to drive, plus a manny tranny in an Olds is always a welcome site IMO.

Thanks Skip!

We'd really love to duplicate this car in a Buick and Pontiac version as well... keep the "born with" power plant brand, apply some tech and boost, and have a bitchin' ride.
