Yeah, if you're going auto, I'd definitely wait for the 2015 with the 8 speed.

Set an appointment up at LG's new location for 9:30 tomorrow morning to get my GHL Bullets installed. I called 21st as well but they couldn't get to me until Saturday. I can't wait to hear what they're going to sound like!

I'll probably head over to RNH for lunch if anyone would like to join me.

LG will take good care of you. They were very detail oriented when doing the Z06 manifolds for me, and spent a lot of time troubleshooting a vibration after install for no extra cost.

I'm adding myself to this thread, since it seems to be the "place" to be for DFW area Corvette folks. I'm a relatively new Corvette owner, just bought my first one (1992 LT1 coupe) last month.

Welcome, hope to see you at one of our weekly dinners! BTW my first Vette was a 92 LT1 coupe. Was a fun car!

Default Don't shop at Friendly Chevrolet

Just thought I'd share with everyone. We went by Friendly Chevy last night to look at possibly trading in the BMW on a Volt for Homa. They had it listed at $29,988 online (brand new 2012 model), but when they start working the deal they added on an extra $600 for nitrogen filled tires and window tint. I told them that I would not pay for it as the price should be what was listed online, and they would not budge. Needless to say, I told them to pound sand. I consider that completely dishonest and will NEVER go there again, and will tell anyone that will listen about their dishonesty. Anyway, hope this helps someone here not get screwed by them in the future.

I hope you can get it fixed up as good as new soon !

Its Duane at "Wylie GoodYear".
Matt has had a lot of paint work done by Duane.
He swears by his work and from what I have seen on Matt's car... he does good paint work.

No physical injuries. Guy was in middle lane to go straight and decided to turn left and turned right into my vette.

He was very apologetic and his insurance has already accepted fault.

They are very focused on good customer service. Ask for Nancy (wife of the owner) and tell her Evan & Homa sent you.
Does Homa sound the way it's spelled?

Ask them to prove to you that there is more than 78% Nitrogen in the tires.
Since the air we breathe has 78% Nitrogen in it already.
