No they know all about it and are not tripping on it what so ever.

I guess it's possible your cats are clogged.

I bet they put in a hi-po starter so you won't have to worry about the car starting but as a result it's robbing you of torque.

Did Synergy offer any explanation or advice?

Wut?
A hi-po starter is commonly called a high torque starter. Get it now?

Ha, okay, so Knives was just jerking his chain.

Tsk tsk, Knives.

I read that over and over, trying to figure out what he meant, but never got that it was supposed to be a joke. Being old and demented sucks . . .

Hey with the less torque you won't need as sticky a tire so that could save you some money for your secret nitrous kit.

A torquey starter story: When I was young me and two other buddies bought new '70 Honda 750s. We beat them and everything we had mercilessly.

One of them came up with the idea of turning the kill switch off, holding the start button and driving around on just the starter, lol. We could even shift into at least second gear, maybe third but I don't remember for sure.

Haha, stupid kids.

Cammed: Try that when you get your Vette running good. You may have to jump or cut a few wires to get the starter to crank without starting the engine, lol. It'll be the first electric C6.

I'm honestly just going nuts I want the car back already! Good news to he said the tune gave him no problems it was perfect I said it already but I'm saying it again. He also said the clutch is not slipping at all so it's a thumbs up on that! Now to save 700$ for wheels and slicks

Do you have a plan for getting this beast passed by our kind hearted California smog folks in two years? Just curious. Mine is stock because of this and I have always wondered how guys get by with mods. Even a catch can or a K&N filter will fail the visual.

Come on man I'm only 18 and have countless ways of passing smogs and police. Put it this way don't drive like a ******* be nice and cops won't do much my car also looks stock under the hood and muffler. just the sound is a bit different but they are quite with the flaps closed. You can find people who do dirty smogs and run you around 3-400$ Btw my smog is in two years don't need to worry about it now I'm just going to enjoy the good and bad that this car gives me.

OH btw idk of these guys that do the dirty smog will be around in 2 years prob get caught. But just find car friends car shows dragstrip talk to them most likely they got a guy to do it. My friends buddy said all I have to do is send him a picture of my registration he does the rest. But I don't need any of that for two years.

That stuff doesn't work any more in NYS. I'm surprised that it does in Cali, which is otherwise more **** about pollution than NYS is.
