Running consistent low-mid 14's at the drag strip which is no slouch, especially for a six! The only issues I've had have been a catalytic converter (replaced under warranty), a trunk latch that sometimes decides not to work, a new power steering line, and a couple of rear blinkers I've replaced. I still love the car just as much as I did the day I drove her off the lot brand new, and am looking forward to 108,000 more miles of smiles!

what are your impressions of your tune and who did it

Actually the machined ARE painted except for the top face of them so they're mostly paint and they're really not very shiny on the small machined part. That's what these are. I strongly recommend them; they're great wheels!

ROFL! I wish that was my place! It's the Villa Philbrook, an estate built by Waite Phillips (Phillips 66) in Tulsa in the 1920's. It's a museum now. Went there a few weeks back and snapped some pics so I'd look all fly.

I LOVE the tune. It's an HP tune done by XP Performance in Oklahoma City, and I haven't had a single issue. It really opened the car up and I'm much happier with the performance now-- and surprisingly enough it helped the fuel economy! Plus with the transmission tune it turned her into a rocket ship. Makes my old '97 Z28 look slow in comparison.

I am so happy you posted this as I was wondering if anyone had a high mileage V6 out there and how they were holding up. I traded in a '97 Z28 for my 5th . You must have yours movin' darn fast because I don't think my 5th is quite as quick as my '97. My '97 had the A6 tranny with 3:23 gears. That may have made a difference. Yours looks great!!!
