Just want to give everyone a heads up that "The Beast" had a sweeeeat 4 wheel LAZER guided alignment today that was awesome!!!

I had my Vette aligned at "GoodYear Tire Craft" in Pt. Pleasant Beach on there brand new $50,000.00, top notch, lazer guided machine that even took before pictures on how my alignemt was off.

It was very COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Thanks John - I have been looking for a place that can handle the lowered vettes.

I have to go visit Tommy for some GM warranty work after ECS finishes my car. I guess I will also stop by for the alignment.

BTW - the RPS clutch held up great to the first day at the track. Before on launch I could not spin the DRs at 2K rpms. Sunday the clutch worked well enough that the tires spun right away. I had to do a longer burnout to get the DRs up to temp. My 60 ft times also dropped from 19.s to 1.8s. I had no issues with the clutch all day.

Overall the clutch is now much smoother than the stock clutch. I say now because the break-in period I was horrible with the clutch. A few times I made the whole car shake upon take off.

Now it runs great and when I hit it the car seems to snap now when before it did not. I do think the new clutch is louder than the stock clutch, but hey with the roof off and music on I can barely hear anything.....

This is good news.
the goodyear tire place by me could not align cars with 18" wheels.
the other local shops had the same issue. now I can lower this thing a little more and get it aligned.

Go to Defelice Chevy in Pt Pleasant. Tommy is the Vette Tech there and really knows his stuff (plus they are mod friendly).

If enough interest maybe we can get a vette day at the alignment shop....

Ya call DeFalice Chevy in Pt. Plesant and ask for Tommy (he's the MAN)!
When you call make sure to ask for Ed the service manager and tell him that Supercharger John with the RED 99 Vette sent you.

The number is 732-899-2844 or 732-899-0082

What type of machine do they use, the Hunter with the 4 boxes on each rim, and also, do they have the brackets for 18/19/20" rims??

Default Warranty work

word of mouth is great, but u still have to be careful. I bought my 02 Z from Defelice, paid cash. On the test drive check enging light came on, salesman said it was because of SLP headers and exhaust. They put it on the lift and "fixed it". On way home, codes. don't remember exactly what they were, but i turned around and took the car back. They put the car on their lift again and "fixed it". Actually they just reset the DIC. But because i was and still am a novice i didn't know. On the way home again it comes back on, I call and was told by shop mgr don't worry its just because of the exhaust. Anyway i finally bring it to friend who has a shop analyzer(works for NYC as a mechanic, and has built and races his own dragster). Found car is running too lean, 02 sensor cable was burnt from headers, and #7 plug wire is burnt/broken. Not trying to flame anyone or talk sh*t, but just be careful where u go, and most importantly, ask a lot of questions.
