Default Wow!

I just got my vette back from Tony's. I had him install a Callaway Honker while he was replacing my clutch with a C5 Z06 clutch. What a difference that Honker makes! I had to WOT to get on the freeway today and couldn't believe the difference. On another note, Tony took pictures of the progress of the clutch replacement and trans/diff seal replacements-before and after and gave me a CD copy. I never expected that.

Sounds like a good place to take your vette to.

Default "Wow" is usually the kiss of death

I hate it when someone name drops... like we are suppose to know who Tony is.

To answer all. My camera is broken. Tony's Corvette Shop, Gaithersburg, MD. C5 Z06 clutch was recommended by Tony.

Glad to hear you like your Honker. I bought my C5 with the Honker, Corsa and tune already in place, and I felt as though it was much stronger than other stock C5's I had test-driven. Nice to see a bit more scientific before-after report.
