Mayhem

Wallpaper Description:

1967 Chevy Camaro

As Pro Touring and track-oriented muscle cars have progressed over the past few years the builds have gotten more extravagant and extreme, with some cars becoming vintage versions of modern luxury grand touring cars like Aston Martins, while others have morphed into street-legal American LeMans cars. Mark Stielow, however, always manages to stay far removed from both camps and yet still create cars that embody the best principles of both. Take his latest '67 for example, known as Mayhem. It's essentially an exercise in subtlety. What appears at first glance to be just a very nicely executed, but totally typical version of a Pro Touring first-gen Camaro is actually a carefully crafted and balanced formula proven on track. Stielow used readily available Detroit Speed & Engineering suspension as well as a powerful GM-based driveline with a stock ECU. The interior is mostly stock Camaro with Recaro seats and good Auto Meter instrumentation. No engine or driver setback, no extreme bodywork or flares to cram in huge tires; it's just a classically good looking, completely street-friendly coupe that will age timelessly. And yet, at the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational it walked away from a pack of some of the very best vintage and modern performance cars at SEMA including Corvettes, Shelbys, and GT-R Nissans. Stielow is a phenomenal driver, but even the best jockey needs a good steed and this Camaro is the epitome of speaking softly and carrying a big stick
