Re: Austin Vette Owners (Charles Klein)
Colvin Automotive on Hancock has one. There have been a couple of
dyno days there that I'm aware of and probably more. I attended one
early this year and saw posts here where another one was being set
up and actually filled up. I suspect there are others as well. I don't
know what private time is but a couple of pulls ran $50 when I did it
and I think it was slightly more after that.

Re: Austin Vette Owners (Charles Klein)
Thanks, Micky. I'll give them a call. My LT4 is my first high powered car. I bought it used and I'm curious to see if the motor is generating a healthy amount of hp.
Incidentally, I just bottomed out very badly on Metric (lane, I think it is). I was heading south, one or two intersections south of Braker lane. I hit the ground hard and then I saw glowing bits of metal in my rear view mirror. I turned around to study the intersection to see what happened. There is a large depression in the road followed by a bulge. Very bad for Vettes. If you have to head south on Metric, drive at abut 10 mph for a few intersections after you cross Braker lane.

Charles,
There is also one at AutoTek on Gillis (by Discount Tire - Ben White), behind B&B Performance. Depends on which side of town you are on.
