On-Time, On-Budget, and Better than Promised!!!

I just can not say enough about how Awesome it is to have someone to work on our cars that really cares about doing a Great Job for a Fair Price!!! It was done when he said it would be, it cost exactly what he said it would, and we got More than we expected!!! I was hopeing for 40hp, Mike said 50hp, we got 65hp!!!

So it's officiall...

Haddad Motorsports

is offering a package for the L99 called "The Trish" to any Camaro5 member! I have been authorized to show you my invoice and Mike will honor this price. Please understand that Mike created this package based on what Trish and I use the car for and after speaking with Mike you will probably end up with a "Modified Trish" package. Mike will create a package for exactly the way you plan on using your car so the price may very slightly!

Now for the really important question: How's the car feel?

I would have to quote Trish and echo her opinion when I say: OMG!!!
It looks like the same car but it drives like a completely different vehicle! Better than that, it drives like 2 different cars!?! Let me explain; we gave Mike an incredibly difficult challange when it came to the setup and driveability of the car. We asked for 2 different things, Trish wanted to be able to drive the car to work in the morning like a girl (sorry Baby you know I Love Ya) but when she hits the track, let's just say she like's to Compete just as much as the rest of us! So again I say: OMG!!!

When you drive the car like a girl (as I like to say) the shifts are quick and smooth. When you ease into the gas to make a pass, the kick down is very quick and the power is immediate!
Now take it to 75% throtle or more and it becomes a different car! The shifts are now very frim and crisp and the power is far from stock. Our pervious dino's showed that Blu1 had 20 more rwhp than Blu2 and I could tell. Now Blu2 has 40+ more rwhp than Blu1, and I CAN TELL!!! The power gains are nice at the low end but the car becomes a Beast from 4 to 6 grand, it feels Very Stronge!!!

Mike really went the extra mile to make sure the car was right. After we took a test ride, I thought that the car was Great. Mike notice a change that he wanted to make so he put Tad (he is Mr Wizard with a tune, his Kung Fo is Great) in the passager seat and they went out and made several changes that made it Perfect, For US!!!

Thanks Mike, you and your guys are AWESOME!!!

The Car running Great and we will be putting it to the test in Fontana at the SpeedVenture autocross on the 18th of November so come out and see it in person!!! I'll try to put together some video soon, to go with the engine porn!
