Really? What does anything i have said have anything to do with Ford or Mustang's?...

What deal was done or not done, is between the ones in the know and thats it!
Good for you...Never said anything about any deals and could care less. My post was in reference to the warranty being voided...

Warranty being voided is nothing new to me, took 2010 Camaro out of the box and blew warranty within a month or so, by SC'ing...........
Cool! It's your car... All i was doing was asking a legitiment question about someone pushing products for a car that it might not even need...

Changing bushings doesn't void your warranty just fyi. The only thing that's voided is the warranty on your bushings - which makes sense considering that you replaced the OEM bushings. But most dealers will honor the warranty as Pedders is GMPP approved.

So are you saying that you know what the ZL1 needs or doesn't need more so than Pete?

I can certainly understand that there might be a few areas that could use a little improvement for extreme driving conditions. However, for normal daily driving and occasional track use, is having your brand new ZL1 Pedderized (:updown:...) worth voiding your warranty for?

How does JusticePete even justify telling anyone their brand new ZL1 needs to have it's warranty voided, and have it 'Pedderized' when he has probably never even drivin one to know just how good the suspesion already is for what everyone is goin to do with it?


LMAO at the guy that got Pedderized saying it's sooo good he could tell the difference just by backing it out of the shop...
Well, sirloin....Pedders parts are GMPP, and covered by warranty. At least the coilovers. That says something about the quality of parts.

As for improving a ZL1 - you are right, it is beyond impressive...and I don't mean to speak on Pete's behalf - but I dare you to find a SINGLE time where he puts down the car, or its capabilities. He knows this as well as the rest of us...so maybe reconsider how you represent his intentions or authority on the matter...

All that said - anything can be improved. Necessary? Maybe not. Effective? Absolutely. There are still a FEW low-hanging fruits that can help tighten up the suspension on the car. One thing you'll notice about the way Pete directs Pedders' development, is that he never spends time or resources on selling a product he doesn't believe the car could benefit from.

The ZL1 already drives like it's on rails and razor-sharp responsiveness. BECAUSE of this...I'll be installing some bushings insert to get that scalpel-like driving feel.

OEM everything is somewhat of a compromise.
Justice Pete takes it to the racers edge for those that want it.

After seeing Kelly's 2010 SS at 1st fest and meeting him in person, getting mods done already does not surprise me at all. Can't wait to see Veteran1 at Camaro's for Heros. Are you bringing your new toy as well? Congrats Kelly. See you in a month!

Thanks guys

As most of you know I am in Detroit on business. I have been and will be for the rest of the week at various OEMs. I have a deep respect for what they do and the vehicles they create. What is so cool is they have similar opinions regarding our work. Earlier today we did ZERO to 60 testing. This evening we did Pedderised ZERO to 60 testing. The OEM guys looked like this



There are days I really love my work and this week is filled with them. Even better, I start going through my emails and see your replies in this thread. Now I look like this.
