I actually had GenIII sitting in my garage a week ago, but after 2 months of thinking i decided to allocated the $500 towards other parts first. So i Sold them

i c!

yah, honestly speaking i think the K&N drop-in approach should be more than adequate. even the amuse 350Z track car used stock intake box/tubes... the post-MAF is cool to look at but i doubt it has any performance benefits.

nick you want mine?

You are Mr Smoooth Kenman.

Let me try to explain my issues with the ZL1. It is not how long it takes to get one. My issue is that I have no proof that even though I have put $2000 down and my financing is fine that I have a car ordered. The dealers where given only a certain # of allocations for ZL1's. From what I've heard not all dealers received an allocation. I don't know if my dealer even has an allocation to use. If they do not then they actually cannot order my car. The dealer has thus far been unable or unwilling to give me an order #. GM Connects.com is an on line tracking service and they have said that there is absolutely no reason for a dealer to withhold the order# if in fact they ordered a vehicle for you. Getting back to the time it takes to receive a car, I've learned that nobody is taking delivery till probably March 23rd. Sorry for the long winded post but this is what is going on and why I'm really upset over this.

kenchan · 03-02-2012, 04:56 PM

Fire- tell your GM contact bakayaro.

Fire · 03-02-2012, 04:58 PM

What is bakayaro Kenman? LOL I can say that I love my H&R hubs and that unless those other ones are significantly lighter I would go with the H&R.

Yet another reason not to buy American cars

Alchemy as long as you have a good torque wrench you have nothing to worry about. You don't even need a torque wrench if you live near where the dealer or you tire/suspension shop is.

Fire · 03-02-2012, 05:18 PM

Alchemy I don't think it is a Chevy issue as much as a dealer issue.
