Default the new girl

im a new corvette owner and after owning a 5.0 for a few years i now wonder what the heck took me so long to buy the car of my dreams which is a 2002 z06 with 40,000 miles on her.... i quickly started lookin into all the after market mods that could be done to hear to get the car where i wanted it to be.... i talked to numerous performance shops in and the dallas-ft worth area none of which impressed me, until i stumbled across EAST TEXAS MUSCLE CARS IN LONGVIEW TEXAS and owner Stephen Covington...after meeting with Stephen and spending a few hours with i knew this was the performance shop that i wanted my z06 to be brought to,,
they have many different performance packages to choose from and the stage 3 package that was put on my car has brought my baby up to run with some of the newer vettes om the road today... the cam swap, headers. cold air intake push rods etc were installed professionally installed and completed on time when he said it would be..
wow are u kidding me on time...they really know what is going on with the corvettes of today i cant wait to get my car back out for more mods
i strongly advise anyone wanting to up grade the corvette to look up
east texas muscle cars in longview tx

proud to be a customer

Glad you are happy with your choice! Bring that bad girl up to Norman this summer to the NCCO Show and meet Reeves Callaway...bet he has a few mods to suggest for your new favorite shop to assist you with!

Several other well known performance shops will be there as well!

Congrats on the new Z06! FWIW, We don't understand why those 5.0 users don't step "into the light" either.
