Doesn't seem like 300hp to me

good point. But check other links, they just dead end.
she said the phone was going off the hook this morning and they have been scrambling to get their website back to normal.
The whole thing seems really odd to me.

I called and got a nice lady on the phone and I asked her if putting fake listings up on the weekends when they aren't open helped them to sell more cars. She said they would never do that. That someone hacked their website.
Seems like a lot of effort to go to and to what end? I'll be visiting their website next weekend to see. They had a couple hundred fake listings up on their website. Who would do that?

No need for AI hacking. Those small dealerships are the worst, they'll use any sketchy tactic to get you excited to go in. They depend on foot traffic and naive suckers, I mean buyers, who get suckered.

Yup. Before I got my Z I was looking at a beautiful 2004 GTO at a small dealership. Black with red interior.....was an awesome car. Drove really nice and was quick but as soon as I took it to my mechanic he immediately knew it was in an accident. Dealer tried to claim it had a clear title. They're scumbags. Had a feeling the price for its mileage was too good and I was right. Best part is when I took the car back to them from the mechanic and said "it's been in an acciden't why did you try to lie when I said I'd find out?" they STILL denied it lol.

No fake listings on J&S this weekend. I think they were telling the truth that they were hacked last weekend.
I drove a 2011 Boxster today with 91K miles and it was GREAT!
I drove a 2017 Camaro today with 13K miles and it was disappointing. It had the V6 with automatic transmission. It's a very nice design and I think a beautiful car. Just like new. It handled good, had a good ride, steering was nice - but the engine and transmission were terrible. When accelerating, it sounded just like a Toyota Corolla automatic. It sounded anemic and while it did have enough power to move the car along briskly, there was no connection at all between the driver and the drive. As unsporting as a car can be. Using the paddles to shift took three seconds between gears. Like driving the most boring family sedan - and maybe not that good. Chevy missed an opportunity with this car.
My 06 Z is a much more engaging drive.

Over the weekend Austin changed the spark plugs for new ones and installed the Copper throttle body valve that is part of the MREV kit. The engine responded nicely and seems to be making even a bit more power and revving even a bit better.
He also installed a matching Hotchkis rear sway bar and WOW, that is exactly what was needed. Now the car is handling much better in the corners. Turn-in is more precise. Where I was unsure with just the front sway bar change, with both there is no question about what I'm feeling in the corners.
My Z is getting better and better and I'm really liking it much more now than I did when I got it.
Appointment for tune and re-dyno has been moved to August 12th. Still gotta install the new clutch pedal.
There is a blue theme beginning to happen.
