If it is performance mods you seek, then Reese *** at MTI in Marietta is about the best choice around.

For the best Corvette techs, go to Tom Jumper Chevy in Sandy Springs. Ask for John Crowe in the service dept. Be sure Roman does the work.

While you are at it jump over to the Peach State Posse site for some super people and information. The link is in my sig. Links and phone numbers to both are also there.

I would take your car over to LWA or RP Motorsport before i bring it over to MTI reese ***. He is a "F@#$ING CROOK" and you can tell him that i said so. Just ask what is up with Tony Tran story only 8000.00 worth. The world goes around

Head on over to the www.peachstateposse.com we'll point you in the right direction. You can talk to many folks who have had their vettes worked on at LWA, MTI and Modern Day Muscle (changed the name to something else I think. There is a huge vette show tomorrow (Aug 6) as well. Just about eveybody should be there.

I have heard bad things about the atlanta MTI. A friend of mine had to make several 350 mile trips up there to geta few very simple problems fixed.

Even IF they offer to stand behind their work its tough to justify taking 2 days off of work, hotel room, and etc just to get things fixed that shoudl have been done the first time.


Just MY opinion.

I woudl try the other shop in Marietta.

MTI quoted me $1,000 more for my 342 gears than what I actually got them installed for. Shop around...
