Cheetah Big Booty and Suspension Upgrades - Stacey David's Gearz S17 E5

This time on GEARZ, the Cheetah is back in the shop after a trip to Cheetah Evolution for some major frame modifications to make this 630HP cat plant its booty firmly to the ground. Follow along as Stacey shows the benefits of getting rid of the old C4 Corvette rear end and going with something leaner and stronger from Winters Performance, and some matching Wilwood brakes to bring it all to a stop. If you have a Corvette, you’re gonna want to see this! The front end also gets some upgrades with a new steering rack and column to help the cat carve corners with the best of ‘em. After that, Stacey takes you on a walkaround of an amazing Roadster: the P-33! The level of craftmanship on this build is simply amazing. It’s all here, on Gearz!

Bill Thomas 👍🏻 I just hit the Big 70. I love the Cheetah.

[@richardhill4862]

Thanks Stacy!

Thanks Stacey!

You bet!

No affiliation, but Factory Five has some nice kit cars, including a Cobra knockoff. If I didn't have a current project I would be looking at them for my next one.

[@pjs9346]

Never knew there was a after market card available. Saw the original card race. More development would have bested the cobra.

[@ruggedtrucks]

Love it! Now where is the VAN!

I'd always been a Shelby guy, but the Cheetah is more my style, and yours is gorgeous! Did the diff / suspension change create any beneficial weight loss/distribution and CG advantages? Not that I can drive in a competition environment any more, but the original Cheetahs were noted for being a little tricky to control. That wouldn't be a problem for me now, but for the record, "We still don't need no steenking horn!" LOL! Love the steering wheel selection and setup too! Can't wait to see the final construction phases, fired up and test run! Also, what are the odds of a detailed scale model plastic kit coming from the Cheetah build? The other builds are also strong contenders for seriously detailed kits too IMHO! Keep up the exciting work!

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

We haven't checked the weight balance yet. Craig at Cheetah Evolution might have. We're looking into some scale models of Gearz projects!

👍👍👍👍

[@johnglielmi6428]

The Cheetah is a cool little runner! I'm curious about how much of a draw on the battery the electric e-brake will be. the cable brake offers no battery drain at all.

[@paulevans2153]

Any updates on the catalog Camaro?

[@billyhogan1863]

I'm want to drop my '82 chevy school bus and make a low rider 🤣🤣🤪🤪

[@michaeldelaney7271]

The wheels on the P33 are not "artillery style" wheels.
