I believe there are some recent posts about them. Have you tried searching in here and the modifications section of the ZL1 forum?

Well, been there twice for open house type stuff. They had some bad ass cars on display. And there was a dude with a ZL1 there that they had done, he had 670 RWHP, but they were about to add some stuff and projected north of 700.
Mostly friendly, very informative, I had a nice conversation with the manager and they had a price list of "packages" for the LSA. It seemed like a good shop given that I haven't been to any others, but I let them throw my car up on the dyno for fun, with Rotofab CAI an no tune I've got 515RWHP, well that was before my headers anyway. I know I didn't really answer the question, but hope it helps. Here's my other take on it, the guy with the ZL1 they had done really had wonderful things to say about them, and they've done a ton of Vette's, Camaros, and CTS-V's, his statement was "They are the best in the Atlanta area." My instant response(in my head) was that for that kind of money I didn't want to best in the area, I want the best in the country. But if they are close and you don't want to have to ship your car and what not, I think they are a great choice. This time of year they said turn around time would be about a week. If you wait until winter they get backed up and you might have to make an appointment two months out or something, you know, everyone wants there car right now, wait til the crappy weather gets here to put it in the shop.

Let me say this, they support the Fbody Gathering in Atlanta, so it's good to support those that support the hobby.

There are several threads around about them. Many say they do great work, but are generally considered "expensive". I have not had work done by them, but some of the numbers I had quoted to me for some work did seem a little high to me. You want quality though, many in the area would consider them at the top of that list.

Just remember if they are expensive and customers still want work, they are obviously a good shop. You sometimes do get what you pay for. Trying to save 200-300 dollars at another shop may eventually catch up to you down the road if you want or need service.

As I stated, you guys were a bit higher than I expected, but you have to pay for quality and a lot of people swear by your work. Vengeance is not a backyard shop. It is a established and well known business that puts out a quality product and charges appropriately for what they deliver. When I am ready to do something to the ZL1, I am likely going to be calling you guys because lets face it, the base car I am dealing with is a pretty big investment and I have to make sure that it continues to perform after being modded.

Gizz, we look forward to working with you. You are correct that you have a healthy investment in your ZL1 and you should protect that investment, that is where Vengeance Racing comes into play |
