What was the last car you sold & why'd you let it go?

Matt Gower at GP Tuning tuned my vette and my other vette buddies. Matt knows his profession. He tuned my vette a year ago and today my vette is running strong. PM me if you want his cell phone number.

Rick's the real deal. Wish he had a Livermore shop a few years back!
I put a lot of miles on my C6 taking it to Able (to fix stuff I broke) and to Synergy in Fremont. Let me tell you what I really, really liked about Rick, aside from his obvious skill at tuning . . . he knew what I did with the car (as did Abel), and more than once he subtly talked me out of spending money that wasn't going to translate to anything satisfying for me.

Regardless, good luck with your choice.

+1 for Matt. I had him street and dyno tune my car. Not only did I gain peak power, my whole driving experience got better. My idle, launch and power throughout the rpm range are way easier to control now, especially in 1st and 2nd gears . He also knows Rich @ Abel, so if you get work done to it, Abel can get your tune info if needed. When I was searching for a tuner it came down these same 2 guys. Seems like either way you go, you're in good hands.
