Before the Z06, about 5 or six years ago I drove a new but stock base model Corvette and around an off ramp with the 6 inch metal expansion joints every few feet, the back end would jump a few inches sideways on every one of them. Not the front, just the back. Didn't exactly build confidence. They are not easy cars to go fast in. No way our cars do that. Could we beat them on a road course. Probably not. Are our cars more rewarding to drive. Oh yeah! I'd much rather have mine.
I love my frs...but I miss the power and torque of my LS1... that feel was rewarding. I want a C5 Z06 or a C5 Fixed Roof Coupe.

I'll come and help if you need a pair of hands. It's pretty simple but labor intensive. Do you have new shocks too ?

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

If anyone else has any hookups let me know.

Also I might have my wheels shipped to whatever place I order from just so it's cheaper, when they actually get made that is lol...

Also Chris, how is that decal coming? I won't need the 86 made either fyi, if you haven't made it yet that is.
Give cruz a shout. He doesn't always get the rock bottom pricing but he is usually cool with you just ordering from tire rack, having them shipped to the shop and slap them on for you real fast. Most of the guys i used to go through for discounts i dont talk to any more as i just throw my work at Cruz. The more tires he goes through in our sizing the lower his pricing will get so i try to push more and more to buy from him!

Arizona Auto Trends
480-770-7700

Ask for Cruz, tell him you got the # off the 86 forums from a post from nelsmar/marin. He gives install discounts to 86 members.

I need to go for more testing & re-balancing suspension a bit. I might need to shift weight to the rear rofl
