A&A's 441 C5-R
Well after a few months of driving the car originally posted at:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...579&forum_id=1
Here are a few thoughts worth sharing:
1. There were a few cosmetic things here-and-there that needed minor attention (I'm just a perfectionist) - Charlie and Andy took care of those things no questions asked;
2. It handles better than the car has ever handled, thanks to Charlie's custom coil-over set-up, alignment, and corner balance;
3. Very docile at low speeds and normal stoplight to stoplight driving;
4. Very predictable flat power at higher speeds and mountain road driving;
5. Enough torque to spin the tires in the first 5 gears;
6. Enough power to hit the infamous 200 mark;
7. Reliability, consistency, and peace of mind you would want when taking a long trip;
8. Very clean install with everything looking, sounding, and feeling right;
9. Surprisingly enough, CA smog legal;
10. Overall, given about 500 miles of driving, I can say that I would highly recommend this set-up to someone considering something similar.
I'm very impressed with how everything came together. Thank you Andy, Melissa, Charlie, and the entire crew of A&A for taking the time to do everything needed to keep a customer happy. I won't be on the forum for a while, so if there are any questions hopefully Andy or Charlie of A&A Corvettes will chime in and give you guys (and girls) some answers. I just wanted to share a few thoughts and say thanks to everyone involved in this project. When's the next A&A Bar-B-Q???
