Solid rear axle killed it for me.

 

Interesting what he did with the rear bumper.

 

Believe it or not, the majority of tube frame cars in the SCCA are solid axle. I think the main reason is in GT2 (which this may have started out as) there is a weight penalty for IRS.

I saw the Nissan Motorsports 240SX from a couple years back at Buttonwillow and peeked underneath to find a quick change solid rear axle. Trans Am has solid rear axles. You can definitely make a solid axle handle.

 

The only thing that weirds me out about the solid axle is the model he chose...57 Olds??? Wonder how hard it is to get parts for that one...

 

Still, if I were in the market I'd look at that Z really hard. Looks pretty damn good on the surface.
