First created in 1995, the QuadraDeuce was the brainchild of Summit Racing Equipment R&D Chief, Mark Stielow, famous for his Pro Touring Camaros. It was initially painted purple and yellow, had a 6-speed transmission, and had a few updates along the way such as silver OZ wheels. QuadraDeuce made the rounds in all of the major car magazines such as Hot Rod, Car & Driver, Street Rodder and of course the Summit catalogs.
