That is an awesome deal!! Will this still be avail this Fall? I decided after CI8 that I need some gears, but I won't be able to do it until fall!! I was thinking about 373's, what would you suggest for a H/C nitroused Z?? All driving is on the street, never go to the track, and the nitroused is rarely used, let me know!!

Earlier in the week we can, but I will be setting up Thursday. Being that I am the one who builds the carriers here, it makes it tough if I'm two hours away.
Mon-Wed is good for us though if that works for you.

Thanks!

Well............if you don't mind blowing me, cooking and washing the clothes, I guarantee to make an appointment tomorrow.

Yeah, I don't understand her priorities either!!!!!!!!! Just bought a couch and loveseat too, almost 1500. In the back of my mind, I just kept telling myself........"new Z06 carrier installed, shift points altered". Damn, just pissing me off thinking about it again.
