Adrenaline Auto Works in Richmond, VA
I was just wondering....has anyone in the Richmond area actually have any work done to their Z or any vehicle by this shop??? i know about the s2000 problem they had but that has nothing to do with their actual work. i ask because i might be getting exhaust work from them.
edit: the name of the shop is actually ADRENALINE AUTOWORKS

I was just there saturday but just for a dyno day so I can get baseline. To me looks like its geared towards the Honduh crowd but the people seem OK enough. I dont know how much knowledge they have about our cars.

the only thing i have heard about adrenaline autoworks is that one night at the Bell Road meet they brought out a "shop" car - it was a red S2000 that had some shoddy motor work done, and really was unimpressive overall. They were revving hard and really beating on the car. All of the sudden, two cars tear into the meet and a guy jumps out and starts throwing punches at the AA guys. Apparently, it was a customer car, the customer's friend was there and called him, they came and cleared house.
I don't trust any shop in Richmond besides Performance Auto Sport. They are very good at what they do. Mark the owner is a great guy. The shop manager Kevin really knows his stuff - he is also an instructor for NASA and TrackDaze. When I dropped off my Z there were no extra miles on it. They babied it completely.
edit: didn't read your post completely since you already knew about the s2000 incident. oh well i'll leave it up for those that don't know.
But seriously, after a reputation like that, you are considering going there? Why?

I have been to this shop about 4 times for dynos... they primarily work on Jags, Ferrari, Saleen, and Shelby GT500s but they can do custom roll cages and lots of other one off work.
they are very good at what they do and putting on an exhaust would be a piece of cake.
tell them that guy with that White Supercharged G35 sent you and they will take car of you.

with my old tune I put down 350 at 100 degrees in the shop with a clogged y pipe (cats let loose)...vs the 388 I put down in NOVA. They dont use any correction on their dynojet dyno.
