Dave at cartek,
What a great guy that always has time to talk to all of us when he's been working 24 to 48 straight hours without sleep trying to get a car ready for an event--- this guy shares knowledge and expertise that have cost them a bundle in parts and research, I know there are jealous tuners out there that speculate and critize these guys but the numbers and track times seem to validate their claims and you can't argue with success---Thanks Dave

Dave talking and talking about car stuff on the phone... no way, not the Dave I know, hehe. j/k... Nice to see some credit given to Dave. The guy is an absolute workaholic, and it shows in Cartek's products. He definately knows his stuff, and he's always more than happy to share his knowledge.
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: to Dave! :party:

I will vouch for Dave, he has always answered my questions and been very helpful on the phone when I have had difficulties. Even if it did take Cartek 3 months to get me my clutch. My hats off to Dave for being a cool dude. :cheers:

Re: Dave at cartek, (NEPTUNEBILL)
Daves really been a great guy to deal with. I never even had to ask him too many questions cause I know they know what they are doing. I can't wait to see what numbers brents car puts down. Im sure my little old 472.3rwhp is gonna be second best after he gets his car back.

I'll jump on the bandwagon. I haven't had the 2X package done yet but I've been emailing Dave for the last month. Always answers my questions and he is one of the major reasons my car is going to them next month! Thanks for the time and patients Dave.

Re: Dave at cartek, (tekhombre)
All I have to say is: Thank you...Thank you...Thank you Dave, Roy, Rich and John! :hurray: :cheers: My 3.90's are f'in AWESOME!!! It was a booring 4 hour trip home due to trying to keep from hitting the loud pedal, but I believe they are broken in now. Unfortunately, they are exagerating my clutch issue. Which I'm having Tony's Corvettes here in Md. take a look at this friday. And the one day turn around was a Great experience. Luv your"customer's lounge" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Dave at cartek, (Mike Siska)
Well here is another satisfied CARTEK customer.. as not knowing alot about the C5 .. one day at his shop and you will have the basic knowledge of the mods yoru putting in and various options you can go with .. Not one of those shops to chase you out to the waiting area.. but one that allows you to watch them work on.. and ask questions.. Wouldnt think twice about brinning my car back to them and as for the gears god the 4.10s are insane now if Dave could only find me someone sellign a CCW set up... And gee those CARTEk windshield decals would look great in silver with the matching T shirt to reprent at E town..
Once again thanks to the CARTEK staff and one of the greatest tuners on the east coast.. :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

Re: Dave at cartek, (Davidjbusch)
I've been a Cartek customer for almost four years now,Dave is the best,he's put up with a lot of crap from me,I don't know how he keeps up with all the phone calls,and when the phone stops ringing at 6pm he works on customers cars late into the night with the rest of the Cartek crew,all the Cartek staff are workaholics,they're the best around as proven with there record setting track numbers. :cheers: :thumbs:
