Real Retro
Superformance Brock Coupe
Story and photography by Jan Morgan

Review by Mike Stenhouse

The article features Dennis Olthoff's
Coupe 030 fitted with a fuel injected
500 horsepower Roush 402 cubic inch Windsor engine and a Tremec T-56 6-speed transmission.

The article appears in the Robb Report 

Notable quotes:

"while ripping along a country road at over 100 mph in the new Brock Coupe, it becomes evident that this yellow rocket is not a replica of anything, and certainly not the 1964 racecar. Although the body design loudly echos the 1965 GT champion, this is a new car, and a very special one at that."

"The first impression on the road is one of solidity. The Coupe structure is rigid, without creaks, rattles, or squeaks, and the suspension soaks up the bumps without flexing the chassis."

"The Brock Coupe is much more than a replica of a wonderful 1960s racer. It represents Peter Brock's interpretation of a modern road car, wrapped in a super efficient body shape."

If you want a copy of the article, pick it up in the newsstand quickly.  The Robb Report has a website with back articles, but this one was not up as of mid August. It will get there in time. Check it out at:
