I agree, I used Fla High Performance, very expensive, but their work is the best quality They built me a 740 wheel hp zo6. Its been flawless since.

Just wanted to update, Gizmos is now closed but they still have Gizmos Power factory. My car is one of many C6's they work on, they work on all generations I believe. The main thing they do is LS swaps so they've done a bunch of porsche LS swaps and any other car you can think of. They are in Deerfield Beach off 95 and SW 10th.

Take a drive down to the Keys, this is where I have taken my Vette. It's not PCH as previously stated, but on a nice winters day it can be amazing sometimes. Stop by Whale Harbor, and eat a bunch, then on the way up go to Keyl Lime Pie Factory

So the Plantation Volunteer Park meet is set for the 1st Wednesday of every month. There's a food truck rally and the parking for the cars is immediately next to the food truck area. Starts at 6pm for food 7pm for the cars. Cool midweek meet with good guys and chow.
All are welcome!
