Need Shop in NJ/NY Area to Set Up My C6Z for Track
I've run my C6Z at four different tracks and really don't like the way it handles. I'm looking for a good shop in NJ/NY to set the car up the way I want it. Anyone have any recommendations?

Unfortunately I have not seen any. Phoenix in PA is probably your best bet. What tires are you running? Are you looking for just alignment setup or more like bars, springs and shocks?

Euro-Tire on Rt. 46 in Fairfield, NJ does a very good job setting up the suspension and alignment for track use. I just had my Z in there for an alignment to get ready for Watkins Glen in two weeks. Alternatively, contact East Coast Supercharging for tuning.

I want somebody who knows what they're doing to drive the car and tell me what I need. I've tried a couple different alignment setups from reputable shops, but I still don't like the feel. Also, I'm a little skittish after running off the track at The Glen.

Phoenix is your best bet. Most aglinment shops have no idea what works on a track. Eventually though the best way is to do it yourself so you know what you want and can change it at the track.
