I have good experiences RMCR though I will admit communication is sometimes slow.

Might help if you fill in what you have; a C2 or a C7? A different set of skills is needed through the generations.
Good luck and happy motoring.

Have someone that knows tuning and have them look at your tune if they did it.

Not necessary. Sorry you had a bad experience. My many experiences with RMCR have been extremely positive.

Very necessary. I have had much better tuners see what they have done and tell me it is outrageous.

Glad you had good experiences. Don't down play mine.

Wow, responding 5 months later..Bored? Nothing to do in Cheyenne? No Frontier Days?

Instead of continuously complaining, why don't you suggest much better tuners to those inquiring.

I am unsure why you want to insult me by making fun of where I live, however I do forgive you, so please know that.
If you would like to talk privately, please feel free to reach out.

I moved to COS about 2 years ago and still haven't found a Corvette shop. The COS club is about numbers and they really don't do much. Am looking for other Vette owners that drive their cars.

I drive my fun cars whenever the weather and my schedule permit, usually between April and November. In a normal year (i.e., not 2020) there's a decent Cars & Coffee and Car Show scene, along with the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack. I logged a little over 2600 miles on the C7Z and just over 2000 miles on the GT500 last year, in spite of the absence of events. Both cars go down for winter naps when the sand, salt, mag-chloride, etc hits the roads.

The roads are what's killing me. It seems until you get 25 miles out of any town before you get roads you can run on. Only been here a year and have already cracked a rim.

I joined COS and SC3 recently, A few ( 2 or 3 ) of us SC3 guys do our own mountain cruises when we can, weather permitting. Salida, Westcliffe, Walsenburg, Rye, Bishops castle, etc. real pretty through there. Open to other routes suggested. Usually meet up in pueblo. Cohorts welcome. Next time we schedule I could PM you.
