NZV8 #218

Nov/Dec 2023

This issue is quite special, as it pays homage to some retro vibes, perfectly matching the theme of Rob Conlon's Pro Street-styled '72 Chev Camaro. This beast is powered by a massive 540ci big block and adorned in retro colours that do it justice. Dive into the details of all the impressive features packed into this car, and you'll quickly understand why it has earned its place on this month's cover. In addition to the Camaro, this month's issue features a thrilling burnout competition, showcasing New Zealand's top burnout pro cars as they go head to head for one of four spots to compete at Summernats 36 in Australia. Our summer issues have expanded to 128 pages, allowing us to feature four more outstanding cars — a twin-turbo '59 Chev Apache, a Supercharged HQ Holden from the deep south, a badass '60 Ford Galaxie, and a drag-spec LS-powered '69 HB Viva. It's a powerhouse line up! Our columnists are back with tales from their respective scenes, including Straight Talk with Tony Johnson, Hot Rod Ramblings from Greg Stokes, and Burnout Files with Hayden Wilby. There's something for everyone. And let's not forget about Readers' Rides and Club Corner, this time featuring Capital Rodders from the capital city, Wellington. We've got plenty of drag racing insights from Todd Wylie in ‘Dragged Up’. We also bring you the latest builds in our ‘In the Build’ section. And we're back with Taylor Peterson in his fabrication series, where he's building a twin-turbo Ford Capri, now in its sixth instalment. This issue is packed with the best from around New Zealand this month. As for that cover, well, you won't find many like it. You could even call it a ‘collector's edition’, so make sure you grab one before they're all sold out! Enjoy the read.
