Don Stellhorn totalled his 1964 GTO on a road course, but instead of hanging it up, he rebuilt and is back on track, this time with what is perhaps the most wicked '64 GTO in the world.

Unless you're building an all-out race car, the hot rodding life is filled with compromise. If you need to be able to turn corners or stop, lightweight drag struts and paper-thin brake rotors are not the hot ticket. Any sort of sustained 60-mph driving negates
