I just got back from the dyno and I am very happy with my AFR. I'm ready for the drag strip now!

just got back from alignment. -1.9 and -2.0 in the rear without installing my camber arms. i still plan on doing them just havent had the time. i highly recommend the NTB at Grapevine Mills. All the guys there are car enthusiasts and will take the utmost car with your car. Ask for Chris and he will take care of you.

Spoke with a guy named Jeremy who was getting alignment done to his 07 ZO6. Car is sick. He was going down to Houston to for an autocross event. He's running 345's in the rear and 295's in the front!!!

I got it on the freeway and I can actually hook up in 3rd now!

So, new tires and good alignment, not to mention loads of power. Sounds like a recipe for a good run.

If you want the best tire wear and best hook up, get real close to 0º camber, although it wouldn't handle as well (but I don't think you road race anyway).

yeah, they maxed out the camber in the rear to just get me into spec.

i purchased the 3 year plan, which for $149 is steal imho. so when i have my camber arms installed i will be going back in to dial it in to around -1.1 in the rear.

Not sure why it wasn't stickied, but it is again now.

Why don't we meet up at Starbucks as usual by 10:15 am? We'll leave at 10:30 am sharp and get there around 11:30 am or before to let the car cool down.

exit campbell and get in the right lane. Once you go straight through the light make your first right into the parking lot, you will be able to see the starbucks from the intersection.

Yeah, basically, you exit off 75 @ Campbell (exit 26) then stay on the very left lane. You can bypass the lights and do a U-turn and as soon as you are facing South, you'll see Starbucks to your right (southwest corner).

He's coming from South, going Northbound. Your direction is for those of us who is coming from North, heading Southbound.

+1 on NTB. after the dealer screwed up my alignment and after taking it to a half dozen other places, NTB got it right the first time.

Wow, Travis. That has to be the worst excuse I've ever heard in my life.

I'm out too, unless somebody donates $30 for me (I'm too poor to pay them back at a later time, though ).
