Profile of Mark Stielow, GM Engineering Manager, and His Hot Rods (w/ ZL1 cameo)
GM Program Engineering Manager Mark Stielow has been building hot rods for about as long as he's been driving and many of those cars have ended up on the covers of car-enthusiast magazines. His latest car to hit the cover of Hot Rod magazine is a Camaro called Red Devil.
He optimizes old hot rods with new technology (there are many photos of his builds in the video), and he's had seven that have been featured in national publications. He also recently took his hot rod Camaro head to head against the ZL1 on the test track.

What happens to the cars that he's built? Would be great to see them all at once. I like Mayhem. LS7 with LS9 heads and blower.

Great video!
Has GM ever objected to your personal engineering achievements, especially when you compared it to the ZL1 and won?

This is the kind of guy you want working to design and engineer the sports car built by the brand of your choice. I've read where Mark has an immediate outlet to sell the cars he builds so they go into the hands of collectors (or drivers maybe) so far. He has also written at least one pro touring book which I recommend. Talented and passionate guy!!
