Got the car back, and it is much better than before. Much more responsive and a hell of a lot smoother.

I'm going to this event www.the-fsbw.com a female sport bike event in Jersey. The host hotel is right around the corner from my Dad's house. So I'm going to drive the Vette, take my 75 year-old dad for a ride then see the ladies.

The shop I take it to is Tony's Corvette shop in Gaithersburg, MD. He's top notch. The only reason I went back to the C4 was because his shop worked on my other Vettes. That's all he works on.

If the day comes that he closes up his shop, I'm selling my Vette.

Thanks! I have heard Tony is very good. Have a safe trip. Sounds like a great weekend. I'm taking my daughter to see the Indy cars in Richmond.

Ok, last comment.

The car is fantastic!!!!

They changed the plugs, wires, Opti, water pump, belt, both upper radiator hoses and a few other misc things.

The car idles much better than before and it seems to be a bit more responsive.
